Making squads and leaving

[Flavin]

Please lock squad leader into that role for a TIME PERIOD, 5 minutes, cant switch class cant leave squad if people are in it. Tonight, so many people making squads and leaving them.

Also same person doing it to multiple squads in a game.

Should be bannable and preventable

This is known as squad baiting, report it to the admin.

I'm not sure that it would be better to force someone into staying squad lead if they have no plans to SL. Seems like it would screw over the rest of the squad more than it would punish the squad baiter. Best if that person can leave so someone else can fill the role then punishing them after the fact.

it depends of the server , report him

After almost 6 years of development its safe to assume that the way its set up is an intentional game design element. They could have easily programmed the game so that once you created a squad you couldn't pass off squad leader to someone else and assume another role within the same squad but they didn't. So logically it shouldn't be a bannable offense then.

somebody did this last night and i called them out on it and the person didnt care. yes should be bannable not just that server but the whole community. its time to start throwing out the trash.

It is bannable, at least on our server

The point being your saying that person has no plants to SL, so then why are you making a squad? Its literally a troll, and the lock, 5 minutes or whatever, would prevent the bait.

Not to be rude, but you have 7.3 hrs of squad on record (i checked because your post was ridiculous), so i wouldn't expect you to understand fully, but SL comes with responsibilities you shouldn't force on others.

I agree with Geebus; locking someone into a role for 5 minutes could actually create an issue on its own. Yeah, sometimes people make squads because no one else is making squads, but if they don't fill comfortable playing as SL, they shouldn't be punished for at least taking initiative to start a squad so people can at least get a kit. If they're doing it regularly, then you can totally report them, but making it so people can't swap the SL role seems a bit much.

This.
Also the people creating squads and leaving are sometimes the only way to get a match started, played a bunch of games with no squads made minus the tank/heli squads. (which were locked)

Leave those games. Its not acceptable to just create squads if you have no intention on leading them. Crap sucks the fun out of this game.

my favorite is when someone creates a squad, hands it off to someone else, and then takes the marksmen role XDDDDDD
