No, I didn't. It was a sincere question regarding a subject about which I was uncertain of correctness. As I am me, and you are not me, I have a better apprehension of my own intent. I dug up this thread rather than creating my own, thinking it better to not be repetitive (if so).
I don't find this sequence perfectly clear. You have directly informed me that it would be reportable (i.e., a rules violation) if "abusive". If it were to rise to abusive according to RobertBr, how would one go about reporting it using the tree? I still don't see a valid mechanism in the official system short of filing a "bug" (highly dubious) and referencing it by URL, which still makes me think it isn't reportable.
Sure I do: it's unsportsmanlike behavior with clear intent to annoy and/or trick someone into losing. Given things like insults, multi-accounting ELO, and inappropriately naming tables (none of which can directly result in ranked game losses) are rules violations, it seemed plausible to me that this would be too. It also seemed plausible to me that not every rules violation was implemented in the tree, or that there was a direct or indirect means to appropriately report it that I was overlooking. I searched for the rules first and came up short, so I asked.
We disagree. I can accept your opinion without asserting it to be objectively silly, though.
I'm a big fan of BGA, support it with a membership, gift memberships to others, and enjoy playing its games. I don't enjoy the frequent unsportsmanlike behavior I encounter on arena, or rude and inappropriately judgmental interactions like this when clarifying my options.
