ET SILENT #1 Stacking

[EwilTwin]

Is there rules about stacking? 

There is couple of players who never play on defending team, or just plays allies..

Team Stacking

Trial and clan members should be the first to move to even teams. Make a habit of checking the teams each time you’re waiting to respawn. If teams are uneven and you can’t move, ask 3 times in chat nicely. After this check the scores and move whoever would balance the teams best with the !putteam command. Note that there doesn’t always need to be the same number of players on each team for balance – a lot of the time 14 vs 12 can be an even game. Just make sure to check the scores before calling for balance. If you have access to the shuffle command, only use it during warmup (make sure all player have connected) or if teams are incredibly unfair (ex: 11v2) and people are not moving. 

If you see someone intentionally join the strongest team, move them to the weaker one straight away and explain to them the rules regarding stacking.

Note: Players are allowed to switch to the team of their liking after a shuffle, provided that the teams are still fair and even. Stacking in any shape or form is not allowed. Admins may use their own judgment on players that do move after a shuffle. If they feel that a player has made teams uneven, they are free to move them back and take action accordingly. Players should respect the admins decision and remain on the team that the admin has moved them to. If a player feels that it's abuse, they are welcome to complain on our forums, NOT on the server.

 

So IMO if they are not stacking when switching from axis to allies it is OK.

They can play in their choice of team as long as they are not stacking, even if that means 100% allies playtime (or axis)

If they go to the team they always play on, and that results in stacking, thats not allowed

 

If you want, next time you see someone stacking, you can provide screenshots here (for providing proof), so we can act, and not let stackers stack

Alternatively you can make an application to become a FA member, and according to our rules, be able to take care of stackers yourself. Here you can make an application https://fearless-assassins.com/forum/184-applications-join-us/

You can also join our Discord server, and tag admin there if you see it happening https://discordapp.com/invite/jH9Vey2

 

I understand that some players can be frustrating for stacking/insulting/pushing/etc. Thanks for letting us know if you experience such things, so we can help you maximizing your gaming experience. Here at FA, we want people to enjoy themselves on our platforms

Quoting Gengis here because his quote from the Wiki shows as "black on black" to me in the theme that I am using.

... The "from wiki" is what he had written, but I cannot use the "automatic color" to change the quoted part to be much more legible.  

... ok, I had to chose "silver" manually to get his quote legible on my black-background theme.  This might not be viewable by others using a different forum color-theme.  I will have to experiment with quoting the Wiki too.  

 

added:  @Gengis    Might be able to "fix" his original post by  copying the Wiki-text into a plain file and then copying that text back into his post.  using "paste as plain text".

NO, "paste as plain text" would have come out as below.  Notice that it loses all formatting and would have to be re-edited for presentation.  I suspect that Gengis somehow removed the background white color from a direct paste from the Wiki:
