how to spot a flamebaiter.
flamebaiting is the deliberate provoking of someone. usually on your team. in the attempt to get people to rage. making thier reports more likely to get them punished. here are some of thier tell tale calling cards
- often will lightly troll. or passive aggressively take jabs at the person they are targeting. and play the victim when they respond back.
- will give thier target "the silent treatment" until they get a negative enough response they like . and then start harassing the person further once they get sick of it.
- will usually pick one specific person on the team.
- will spamvote no on surrender votes. to keep the person trapped in the game. picking up as many chat logs as possible.
- will often try and accuse their target of trolling in allchat and soliciting reports. in an attempt to try and get them to defend themselves. and keep them off mute.
if you see someone doing this. please report them. at the very least for unsportsmanlike conduct.
