sage We verify and ban people with serious offences in the newbie pugs server
We learnt the hard way after a few cheaters got in using the identity of random ETF2L players
I would also add that we initially gave those with non permanent bans benefit of the doubt but some bad actors are just a lost cause unfortunately.
Although the name is newbie pugs everyone is welcome as we (atleast used to) run all div ffa pugs. The biggest issue, which has been mentioned in this thread before, is a lack of staff support. Constantly we were battling with finding reliable and trustworthy runners to keep our service going. Which unfortunately has led pugs from running consistently to barely running at all, if anyone is interested in running pugs we are more than happy to get our service operating again on a more permanent basis and there is applications in our server than can be used.
