I know this may sound pretty stupid, but its sad I feel I have to put this up as a thread. I've been noticing a few people(admins and non-admins) getting hostile over server rule violations, and it's kind of driving me nuts.
1st. Dont threaten them with kicks or bans!
-This only aggrevates the situation and makes pubbers who are following the rules feel unwelcome(they are playing to have fun. not to get regulated). I've personally watched servers go just about empty because of members and/or admins doing this. Politely warn them(remember to say please) and if they continue then kick them. If you are an =(e)= find an admin on vent. There is more than likely someone on that is willing to help you. And even if you are unable to contact an admin there are ways to deal with them.
2nd. We need to be more friendly about addressing rule violations.
- I know "punks" may get on our nerves and disrupt gameplay, but I can't tell you how many times I've warned people and after being polite and friendly to them they turn around to be respectful pubbers on our servers and continue to come back daily.
It's all about how we address the individual. We can avoid alot of trouble if we simply remain friendly to those who are causing the problem. 7 out of 10 times people find it hard to be rude when the person they are verbally attacking is being polite. NO BS! If we continue on this path of being rude to pubbers we will eventually find ourselves with empty servers.

Just a reminder guys. Keep up the good work out there.
