rdamterror, level 51 by the way. Porcing inside allied base and creating dams on the front his team can't walk on. I wasn't even in this battle and yet felt the need to comment.

Opps, wrong log in (had that still logged in after updating game mode config). But yeah, guy's 775 whr. For comparison new accounts start at 1100. Unfortunately, there's just some people that can't learn or won't learn.

Do I think this is actionable? Probably not. I haven't watched the replay but keep in mind this guy is basically the lowest on the ladder right now.

Off topic: this is another example of the rank icons being misleading. How rdamterror isn't grey is beyond me. They're the lowest on the ladder and yet displays as orange rank (rank 3).

Again it is not about the skill-level, but the attitude. If you try for years to get someone to not pork base and they dismiss it for that long, it becomes kind of hard to not sanction that attitude.

I hate the idea of kicking or banning players who play badly consistently.

There is no way of making a clear dividing line, once the precedent is set it will consistently move upwards.

To make more clear what I said earlier, making 20 storages because you don`t know better yet or know from a game like TA is at least somewhat mandatory (just not right at the start, but by far not as abad as in ZK) is something that is understandable and has to be tolerated without question. The other end would be someone who exactly knows it is bad and doing it precisely BECAUSE its bad. In the latter case it could be considered something between trolling and griefing. The third option is the person that ignores advice because they either think they know better than anyone elso or they do not even want to think a little bit about what they do. Both cases are different iterations of disrespect towards other people. This should be potentially sanctionable in principle, but since there is always some grey area in between the extremes, it is almost impossible to draw a concrete line.

TLDR; its not the actions themselves that matter, but the intent.
