Donator Abuse: Coraga

[IceSage 58]

Name: Coraga

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:5187579

Demo: http://www.mediafire...wcnsxz60wmp7uay

You can watch the full demo, but the abuse starts at tick 66880 while I'm trying to single-handedly deadringer relay the intel out of Red's base.

Not sure if I typed "status" within the demo or not. He's the only Coraga that matches that SteamID and has donator, so there's no doubt it's him.

Explanation:

Was playing the game like normal. Every time I go to this server there are asshats like Coraga and EVILKILLER who just massively abuse their donator abilities constantly. I have another one of EVILKILLER tossing up a vote to ban me earlier for no reason. Not sure if they're butt-buddies or not. (They both do some shady things that I believe are hacking as well. But aside from the point as I don't have a demo of that at the moment, for another thread and time.)

Anyway, the demo shows my MASSIVE DISRUPTION to gameplay by...

...Trying to cap the flag for the 2nd time in a row. (The other 1 of the caps you see on the scoreboard are mine.)

Amazingly the ban went through, most likely because the regulars there are massive douchebags. (In a real sense, not like Arena! Chicago douchebag, like... actually abusing votekicks for absolutely no reason douchebags.)

I also have a demo somewhere of his buddy EVILKILLER abusing his donator abilities as well, if you wish to see it.

Probably the most disruptive thing I was doing was telling people where the flag was at all times and to pick it up so the timer resets.

I've been really into 2fort lately, and I'd prefer to play on Lotus. However, it looks like you have a serious problem with a gang of thugs here.

I'd really like Coraga to tell me what I was doing that was so "disruptive" if he can. I'm rather annoyed I was doing all the work on blu, having a good time... and then this guy bans me because I was capping the intel and bringing it out of RED's base.

Keep in mind Coraga was on RED, the opposite team I was.

I hope he has a demo of what I was doing that was so disruptive to boot me off the server for 30 minutes after I did all the work capping twice once for blu and and almost a 2nd time.

(Edit: I actually only capped it once this round after replaying the demo. Someone else capped the 2nd time.)

Again, not looking to get this guy banned or anything. I don't give a shit about 30 minute bans by immature asshats. It's up to the LOTUS COUNCIL to decide. I've just noticed an influx of voting spam on the 2fort servers and I've had several demos ready to go the instant I join. I've noticed this trend a lot when things aren't going well for the other team.

It kind of needs to be taken care of.

I was in this game! That was ridiculous! And when I spoke up later, he did a voteban!

Banned IceSage/Worst Sniper Ever for trolling/disruption and trying to get a donator banned who obviously didn't do anything wrong.

I watched the whole 18 minutes of your demo and it is very clear to me that you were the one who was causing a disruption. You were trash talking on the mic, starting kicks against people who killed you, and accusing others of hacking even though it was obvious they weren't (Pomson's do crit, and obvious Deadringer Spy is obvious). You then proceed to come on the forums, post the whole demo that shows all of this, and expect us to ban the other player because you think we are so lazy we'll just go to the tick you want, and not take a look at the whole situation?

Sorry, doesn't work like that.

You've been warned multiple times about your disruptive conduct, you even stopped donating because of the number of complaints of donator abuse you were getting. I have received a significant number of pms and first-hand accounts from reliable sources about your disruptive behavior. The only reason there has been leniency before was that you do a good job of providing solid demos of hackers. Those good deeds however do not negate the fact that you push away many more players from your own behavior than you save from reporting a few hackers.

Even though I could have taken all of those comments about your behavior, and had them stand on their own for a ban, I really prefer a demo to back up accusations against someone. That demo was just provided by you. Without all the other items surrounding this, there obviously wouldn't have been a perm ban. But because there is no doubt now that you are disruptive and that you have been for years (e.g. no reason to think you will change), this situation is unique, and will be handled as such.

Bottom line is that you give a bad name to the lotus servers and there is an overwhelming number of first person accounts of your disruptive behavior for years. While it wasn't directly a part of this particular decision, I'll point you to this thread on reddit, where your trolling was directly associated with lotus, by multiple strangers, who had nothing in common, again, going back for years.
