Dave132 same thing as alexus. Told him stop several times. Shoot red, we are your team etc... He probably got a couple of the blue hangers after I left that game. Any how he was shooting at team mates. After I told him stop he tried shooting me a couple of times and got wasted. Then he grabbed a tank and headed for his own base twice. I told him turn around and go the other way. He didn't and died. At least he's a noob and has some small excuse. The ones that have a higher rank than aspirant are the ones that piss me off the most.

Thanks Matador for the back up post on alexus. Sorry I got booted.

Thanks Manfred and all mods for putting up with us all !!! Good and bad. I don't think I could do it. My hats off to you guys.

If Spawn killing is not wanted-why not alter the program to not allow it?? Just a thought!! It happens to me all the time and when I've done it I've got comments.If it was impossible to do then everyone can just get on with having a bit of fun!!

Just as confirmation and it is not needed. However,I too saw alexus teamkilling, I was on the other team. The reds gave me a pass and I repeatedly killed him. He did not stay long after that happened.

This is me doing the happy dance! 'Cause it felt soooo good!

In the latest android release, Zup has extended immunity to both bullets and tank shells while on the runway (I *think* it's anywhere on the runway with wheels down, but I might be wrong and it might be just when brakes are on). Previously, it was immunity only from bullets. The latest reports of tank-spawnkilling prompted him to add this.

Now, if it's just when brakes are on, I personally would:
- Apply brakes as soon as you spawn. You never know into what battle conditions you will spawn.
- Swing your view around 360. Check out what enemies are about to strafe the runway.
- Time your un-braking strategically. This takes practice. It also requires spooling up the throttle beforehand so you accelerate quickly... but note that some planes will nose over if full throttle and brakes are applied simultaneously.

Big hug for Bts55! My thoughts exactly. Mods do a great job but there are too many community policemen here. Just fly, enjoy, and tolerate. A bit of spawn killing just mixes up the game a bit and levels the field from time to time. I would rather see some spunky noob thumbing his nose to the establishment than a procession of aces lining up to 'not quite' spawn kill an unfortunate crowd of novices. I would rather see a red tank at my base than an air marshall quitting a losing or boring game, as so frequently happens. I don't spawn kill, but I accept it. When it happens to me, I hate it. When it happens to others, I chuckle. On balance, I'm content.
Wrong thread? Perhaps, but Bts55 started it - ban him immediately.
Love and bullets are all we need.

Never mind.

Teamkiller jared17608

Claims it was retaliation for someother game. If this is true it would have been payback only and stated as such with a warning at that time.

I took the high road and did not retaliate this game. Bellsaj as witness to this

Let's just watch closely for him. jared17608 you are under a microscope.

Others to watch out for:

Abang: Our old friend, supposed reformed teamkiller and tank-spawnkiller. I played in Dogfight Free For All with him, and he was hanging around the southern airport in a tank. I saw him take a shot at someone taking off, and then he did it again to the next spawn. I will refrain from banning him (again) at this point because he just sucks at tanking so much, it was comical. I mean, he missed by so far, I really can't accuse him of tank spawnkilling! It's like if you rob a bank but leave the bag of money on the counter.

bulldogfandan: A Group Captain, really should know better than to tank-spawnkill in a Dogfight FFA game. When I told him that tank spawnkilling in FFA was rude and unfair because it just racked up kills to win the game, he said, "No it isn't." He didn't do it enough for me to ban him, but certainly watch out for him. Hopefully he'll read this and break the habit. I'm also hoping that more people upgrade to the new release and get immunity from tank shells when spawning.

u read my mind, but this is more fun, to torture them. Lol

True!!! I do like killing them over and over and over.

A karma and a thank you BZ. We don't need that kind of stuff here. I'm sure Banfred will be on it soon.

Please do not ban Abang, I ranked up to 24 AVM1 on him alone yesterday. I was the one to originally report him and absolutely love shooting him. Please defer an ban on him until his skill level makes him a real threat to game enjoyment. However, please be aware he was bragging of having multiple accounts when I saw him. Four is the number he claimed.

On our friend bulldogfan, I witnessed him team killing bobdenver yesterday, for being "off task" in a BTB game. I informed him he was about to become my next hobby. He apologized and clean up but not before bob retaliated and left the game. Just FYI.

I took care of it bzerk. Now let's see of he comes on here to find out why he can't play. A simple change of name will do.

Lol good ole bellsaj....the punisher.

Just wondering- how are yall doing screenshots of these games is it an option in the game or are yall using another device to catch image?

BZ: Difficult to explain? So you post it here?

What is difficult to understand is the concept that THEY are wrong & posters here are right.

Enablers, stop enabling.

The language here is getting as bad as in-game.

I touched thank you by accident.
I will thank you when you delete.

MODS: Please delete these things immediately rather than just say thank you.

Am I the only one concerned about this?

Not sure if you were referring to me about the language in the post. If so I apologize.

I am still learning to navigate the forum as well as etiquette.

Thank you for deleting it.

I am referring to all who do it.

My feeling is, if you wouldn't want your kids or own mother to be exposed to it, DON'T POST!

In reference to posting/repeating vulgar language in this thread. It is necessary to provide proof of the offending behavior. Here is what in have been doing to a avoid propagating the profanities here. I post that I have the information, list the players in game name and offense and then offer to PM any moderator with links (from photobucket) the evidence of offensive behavior. The mods are very quick to request that proof and take appropriate action. So, by posting the offense, but not the actual quote or screen shot, I have left a record of that players behavior and my complaint. This can later be searched for, if needed and I retain the photos under the players name in my photobucket album for future reference and have not left anything on the thread that could be offensive.

If you need help with using photobucket, PM me and I will be happy to assist. I'm with Paul on this here. Many many more people are exposed to the profanity if it is just repeated or captured here on the thread than are exposed I the actual offending game. Please do everything in your power to not cause further insult by repeating or posting the vulgarities here.

Thanks,
PH

Because sometimes a good thing in one game is not so good in others. The more he has to "program" out the less "game" we get. It also isn't as easy to do as say. Wouldn't we want Z to be working on other things?

I have lost all patience for profanity in the game. Beatea and I both warned this guy and his parting remark after he lost the game was another expletive. Scorpont is the name. Let me know whom to PM the screen shots.

Edit: let's make this one quick. 2 more games after the first and he's just going right on. Doesn't believe he can be touched. AND he had the nerve to think he was going into MOM after all this. What a little punk.

MMMM... Stats are pretty good for a level 4. That's an indication it's not a new pilot.
Tip: Check for a mod that's on when you post and PM them pictures. You should get a quicker response to obvious problems.

That's funny. Just responded to your PM and made the same observation regarding his rank and skills.

Thanks again!

NanoMan tried to team kill me TWICE. Got me once and didn't respond to my question. Seriously! It says "enemy is red and teammates are blue" when you first start!

Parrot, or anyone else who has screenshots of such violations. Feel free to PM the links anytime. That way I can take a look at em whenever I log in.

Same here. If you want, cc your PM to a couple of mods. The first one to get to it will act, and the rest can either see an I've Got It message, or just checking the player on the mod panel will show that action was already taken. Pretty much just like a report on the blacklist thread, except that it can be kept private if it's full of grim nastiness.
