How strictly is smurfing, dropping and dodging going to be enforced? The way I see it, unless you make examples of 'elite' players who love to take part in all 3 of these actions no ones going to care. I didn't even realize it was there until I mis clicked and read it anyway. Maybe the launcher needs a new 'news' post.
just wanted some discussion on this topic. if there was already a post about it direct me to it.

How about this: Why not add the Forum Name to the tooltip of the players inside the launcher?(Right above the rank icon.
Would look like this then: Ucky Forum Name: LuAn Rank Icon Standartenführer - (3) Wins: x Losses: y Draws: z
It would a anti smurfing start, and as soon as its possible to have several launcher accounts with 1 forum account this would be the ultimate anti smurf function.
And btw: I have 5 Launcher logins all using the exact same relic account name, so i dont understand why people have different names for different factions?

bear in mind that the definition of dodging that Akranadas is not the one which most people use when talking about dodging.
Leaving games in launcher is still fine if you don't like your opponents.

You can make an example of me, I have a 1 profile name, same for both my allied and axis and I am still smurfing according to some.

2. Smurfing
For those who do not know what smurfing is, I'll explain it:
"Smufing is an act in which a player intentionally sets out to deceive other players within the community of his identity to place the people he's facing at an unfair advantage. Usually to grief another player (forums or in-game), or to force a player to play you when he wishes not to."
The behaviour has become more and more of a problem lately and we wish it to stop. Users hiding behind fake accounts on the forums will be punished, and users smurfing to get around players not wanting to face them will also be punished. Users have the right to play the game without having to worry if X player is really X player and not C. i define this more like its no wanted behavior if you make new accounts for some griefing companies and to be able to join players who not want to play you i don't think that bad behavior is to use just different names for different sides and serious accounts

really the no smurfing rule will only hurt players like you bigdick because you'll have to use your real name instead of hiding behind a smurf and luring people into your game.
I agree having a name for axis and allied would be ok since I myself have blitzkriegbop on axis and my regular name for americans.

if everyone knows the names you use why smurf at all?
and I didn't realize 5-10 minutes of waiting is a long time. guess I'm so used to getting a game in 30 seconds on my allied account

what amuses me is despite the fact I have used the same name for almost two years the smurfing has gotten so bad lately that I have been accused of being other players.
Theres no reason for anyone to use multiple names apart from to deceive.

I hate how this collective punishment unfairly attempts to lay obstacles in the righteous path of (bless his name) Noobin Rood who bleeds out the rot and punishes the wicked. Nobin Rood 4 life, his spirit is unsupressable.

Funny story, I was accused of smurfing on my like... twelfth game, and I didn't even know what that really was until I read this thread.

Having multiple accounts with different names is fine. Creating accounts to hide your identity in order to grief someone is not.
Anyone caught doing it, even if you donated us $10000 will get you punished.

I have a feeling if someone donated $10000, it would be pretty likely the mods would be inclined to look the other way on a little smurfing. Just a suspicion. -Wind

Because it's funny? You're always so "serious business" on everything it's hard to NOT poke fun at you sometimes

Akranadas' Greatest Hits, Volume 1: Vet has nothing to do with unit preformance. We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it.
