Yeah there wasn’t anything like that going on. No clue what happened. Have experienced strange behavior from automated punishment systems in other games. Sometimes they just get things wrong.
The issue of greater problem is being plagued by griefers and people who simply cannot play. Effectively not much difference. Getting team after team of persons losing on purpose, suiciding repeatedly, etc.. Multiple per match. Significant number of games that were just unwinnable because several people wanted to make the team lose.
It’s against the rules and wastes a lot of time. Been extremely unlucky and gotten lots of that recently.
