stop

for one thing, as far as im aware etf2l's policy has always been that if something is not reported, they won't deal with it. the uberchain incident has clearly been reported, and it probably wasn't just the initial twitter posts that got them banned but also the ignorance, blame shifting and name changing on steam after the major backlash from their actions

2nd off, people behaving like ass have been punished in the past, especially in the forums. most of the time people are banned from posting in the forums, have their avatars removed, and in the past they've also banned a player (taimou) for finding other ways to be racist on etf2l (such as changing team names)

thirdly, prem players have always been treated differently from the rest of the league in return for being able to shape the league's ruleset, whitelist, map pool, awards and winning money

all three points combined resulted in a case of precedence, funnily enough my ban back then has also been one and i know it sucks, but it's the right thing to do to show the league's stance on certain things.

after all certain possible sponsors have voiced their take on these people being able to play in the league and a sponsorship will keep competition going longer than toxicity, which kind of kills it. if you look at the old thread there's several ex-top players and other people who have done a ton for the community coming back after a long hiatus to express their thoughts on this kind of behaviour, with the underlying reason that it was probably why they stopped playing.

you're still free to name whenever someone's been harassed, they've reported it to the admins and it's gone unpunished, otherwise you might as well stop pretending to be the saint that sees the big picture where admins are only biased towards certain people

sounds like a good way to shut a community up without having to do anything

"work in progress"
"did make improvements since launch"
"showing it way more support than they show other game modes they've created"

...
and other map updates and some elo updates (which to be honest, no one cares about, because barely anyone plays matchmaking for elo to be effective and it's full of cheaters). so i don't know why you'd say any of the three things you said

that was the very first thing they did after hundreds of people emailed them to finally do it. is this called "support"?

i don't know where you read that there's hidden MMR in casual matchmaking. publicly-shown "ranks" are actually levels that always go up. even if it was a plus ufor the competitive scene, it's a side effect of wanting to get rid of vip servers, all-skin-enabled servers and servers where people slowhack their users

are you talking about the razorback/ambassador changes that favour highlander more than 6v6? should we list all the changes in the past two years and see which scene gets favoured more often? it's undeniable that valve is more on the economy focused side because they know tf2 is long past the way of becoming a big esport, but they are still making a shit ton of money off of casuals, so all they do is -just enough- to keep the competitive scene silent so they don't get spammed with emails.

like we get it you want to be optimistic about it but jesus.. it's not gonna happen. can we just do our own thing and not give a shit about valve?

i know this has been said over and over again but i sincerely believe most people never wanted any of the other unlocks if it wasn't for a single ex tf2 dev saying "i find 6v6 boring", which resulted in people going ahead and unbanning as much crap as possible in hopes of
1. getting more support from valve - which never happened, unless you consider a half-assed gamemode that calls itself "Matchmaking" which no one ever plays and is full of cheaters actual support
2. getting more pubbers to play competitive - has likely not happened much compared to tons of entertaining streamers and tons of resources built up and maintained by very few people (ToTH, huds.tf, whitelist.tf, comp.tf, serveme.tf, fps configs, logs.tf/sizzlingstats.com, tragicservers, tf2lobby.com/tf2center.com/tf2pickup.net/pugchamp.gg/, fragmovies/fragshows)
