After Kill Bugusing will be bannable again! (March 1, 2012)

[ShirakiAeka]

Since the English staff is too lazy, I am here to inform you about ingame rule changes in S4 League. According to Kintaro, the German master gamemaster, AK bug using will be once again bannable.

Hinweis:
Der Afterkill’bug‘ wird ab dem 01.03.2012 unter Erfüllung folgender Bedingungen mit einer Kontosperre (wieder) bestraft:
1. der Betroffene muss das Ticket selbst erstellen
2. es müssen mindestens 2 Bilder angefügt werden: 1x AK bug 1x User-Liste unter TAB
3. die Bilder dürfen nicht älter als 48 Stunden sein

// Gültigkeit: ab 01.03.2012 unter allen Sprachen

source (German)

info thread about the notification of changes (German)

translation:
starting on March 1st, using the "After Kill bug" will (once again) get you punished with a ban under following conditions:
1. the user who suffered from the AK bug must himself write the ticket
2. there must be at least 2 screens: 1 showing the AK bug, 1 showing the TAB user list
3. the screens mustn't be older than 48 hours

Validity starting on March 1, 2012 in all languages

I'm wondering why no English staff has informed you.

Edit 02/28/12:
I replaced "Esc" with "TAB" since it is also replaced in the original source. Both (Esc and TAB screens) are valid, but as Kintaro stated, they would like to see the pings of the other players:

Spoiler: show

Übrigens, bei dem AK-Bug: Ich werde noch eine kleine Korrektur auf "TAB"-Screen anstatt "ESC"-screen machen, auch wenn dieser ebenfalls "erlaubt" wäre. Wir möchten noch zusätzlich jeweils den PING des Spielers ansehen.

By the way, about the AK-bug: I will make a little correction to "TAB" screen instead of "ESC" screen even though this would be also "allowed". In each case we would like to see the PING of the player, too.

Maybe it only applies to the German forums?

edit: Oops, NVM. Forget that.

Can't they just disable you to attack while the countdown to the next round is happening?

That bug isnt too harmful tho.

[heeeyrager]

Instead of fixing the bug, they ban the abuse. Derp

Thanks god someone had some sense to make it banable at last . No more annoying kids doing whatever they want.

So you don't mind getting AK bug killed by a chaser, when you just became the chaser right after, causing him/her to gain all the points from you dying?

Making it bannable isn't gonna make it dissapear, just reduce it. Hacking is bannable so yeah. Sure people abusing this AK bug are usually people playing on their main account unlike hackers, but still it will just reduce it. If they wanted to make it dissapear, a fix would be the best bet.

Basically a messy small step forward.

So would you rather like to be harmed because of the bug? Take the chaser mode or captain mode for example and imagine getting killed immediately as chaser/captain. Not a soothing feeling, isn't it?

alaplaya /=/ Pentavision. Fixing the bug/glitch would be indeed better, however prohibiting it is better than suffering from it.

I'm wondering why they ever took out this rule. Maybe they can make an exception for lagging people.

It wasn't completely removed in the first place. Any abused AK were still dealt.
Also still, I await an English staff confirming this.
