I see some players claiming that violators of the MH do not get banned.

 

That is false.

 

How do I know?

 

I know because I have conducted my own tests and I was doing some hardcore trolling a few weeks ago. I knew that I was going to get a bunch of thumbs down, because I was insulting everybody and I was doing all sorts of things that will make players very angry, all in the pursuit of science and knowledge of course.

 

I didn't take too long before I had a bunch of downvotes and I eventually got an hour ban.

How many down votes did it take to get a hour ban?

I do not remember 100%, but I think it was somewhere around 20 if I'm not mistaken.

I wonder if one kind of down vote holds more weight then another...

20? You was a very bad boy

Yes if you and your platoon downvote the same player he gets a warning or ban most of the times

Someone should create a account just to see how many down votes it takes to get a perma ban.

Good to know.

I'm not certain, because nobody knows the inner workings of the MH system, but just to be on the safe side, I usually only give out unsporting conducts to everybody, regardless of their offense.

 

AFK player? That's unsporting conduct.

 

Troll? That's unsporting conduct.

 

Cursing and insults in the chat? That's unsporting conduct.

 

And my downvotes are effective, because every once in a while I get notifications in game letting me know that a penalty has been applied to some random player that I've given downvotes to in the past. Sometimes I get a bunch of notifications, one after the other, and that makes me smile.

Only an hour? My bans get me 3 day chat bans.

You must've gotten too many provocative communication thumbs down perhaps?

 

My thumbs down are not usually due to something I said in chat. I'm not a chat rager and I don't even chat much.

 

The thumbs down that were given to me were usually due to my actions in the game, so it was either inactivity or unsporting conducts for the most part.

Actually, that's pretty useful information, because I will now change my strategy slightly.

 

I used to give "unsporting conducts" to a player who was being dumb in the chat and insulting.

 

From now on, I will give that player a "provocative communication" thumbs down, because I'd rather that they get a 3 day chat ban instead of a 1 hour game ban. That sounds good to me. That'll hit them the hardest, since they like to chat a lot. To be honest, if I got a 3 day chat ban, I wouldn't even care. I don't need any chat really. But as long as the player getting the ban cares, then that's what counts.

So much for the scientific method!

[GLKamper]

AFKs get an Inactive downvote. 

People who insult or harass in chat get a Provocative Communication. 

Blockers, drowners, etc get Unsporting Conduct. 

 

High damage and High XP players get Team Player. If you did really well in either, you get an Effective Player. 

 

If you give me a Lucky Player, you get a Sociable Player vote. Take that!

 

I give lots of upvotes - trying to spread good vibes.

Someone sent a ticket in on you.

MH is different from someone sending a ticket on you. They will look at the chat logs for a certain period of time then ban you incremental lengths of time by occurrences.

I've seen players with hundreds of downvotes running around...is there no perma-ban centered around MH?
