I know that games up until this point with Sam22 have been horrible. Her story is that she was ganged up on in a DF mission and has been paranoid about people cheating ever since. Maybe real, maybe an excuse. She appears to not be a pushover. Combine that with being paranoid, and having a sharp tongue, and you have Sam22 in her current state. I told her to anticipate a temporary mute and/or ban for the screenshots that players posted in Blacklist. It is entirely up to Wig and the mods as to whether or not to mute at this time.
And yes, Sam22 says she is a woman, living on the east coast of the U.S., and a foreign speaker of the English language. I happen to believe all of that, but leave to you to judge for yourselves.
Sam22 stated via email that she will not use nasty language ever again, and understands the consequences. I also made it clear (I tried, anyway) that no one can cheat in the game, and to call someone a cheater just because they are better at flying and shooting will only make you sound like a whiner.** People can whine all they want, but we can't save them from themselves, and don't come crying to the forum when you have a reputation as a whiner and everyone is making snide comments or targeting you.
I urged Sam22 to use diplomacy when coming across a player who is breaking rules like tank spawnkilling and using foul language. And if the player persists, to use screenshots and the Blacklist thread, instead of spewing back foulness, which can then get her muted, and teamkilling, which can get her banned. Rude behavior like rampant spawnkilling (as opposed to a player just being skilled) can be brought up in the Name and Shame thread.
Sam22 says she is having trouble accessing the forum, and it might not be worth setting up a new Facebook just to get on it.
That's it, and I guess we'll see how it all goes in-game.

EDIT: **Well there are some Win8 ghosts who purposefully use ghosting to their advantage. But hopefully the Win8 bug is now solved, and I didn't get into that with Sam22 anyway.
