Hi everyone,
This post has absolutely no bearing on 99.99% of us, whatsoever.
A concern was made privately to me by a longtime player of a presence on the ATAG Teamspeak server of a non-player lurking on the channel. This in itself was no cause for concern, except there were indications that information was being relayed to the opposing side which was adversely affecting gameplay.
Maybe it was or maybe it wasn't. The concerned player readily agreed that his suspicions may be false; it just seemed fishy. The non-player was asked politely if anyone could assist him, and his response was that he was just "learning the game" by listening in. This, BTW, is perfectly legit and actually welcomed on our server. I appreciate that the concerned player handled himself with maturity and tact so the non-player was not made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome.
On the very slight chance that this was a case of an actual player adopting a different Teamspeak ID to lurk on the opposite side to gain "intelligence" to pass on to others -- this contravenes the first rule of the ATAG Teamspeak server: "Please Respect Others". Remember, it's a very simple process to match up TS ID's with Steam ID's. We won't be doing this in this case, but fair warning has been given. I've posted the ATAG TS Rules below for reference.
As a final note, the vast majority of TS lurkers are legit and very welcome. We want to encourage newcomers to get involved, buy Cliffs of Dover, and join us. Please feel encouraged to verbally welcome any new name on your TS Channel and give them an idea of what's going on. If you have any concerns, drop down a channel with your mates and PM me with the details. Please do NOT make any serious confrontation on the server. You're there to enjoy yourselves!
Cheers,
Snapper
