Where do you go to report a possibly incident of "griefing"?

I like to consider myself a "smart jock."

Then I look at some of my posts and the words I use and I realize........ I'm a closet nerd.
Um, caesari, I hate to break this to ya...but, your not in the closet anymore.  LOL

Uhm, just a thought:  We all play online games, and even if we don't play other games, we certainly play this one.  We talk about computer generated players like they are our own children.  We debate which computer generated player is better than another.  And we strategize the the best way to make our computer outplay the other guy's computer.  Hmmmmmm

Therefore, aren't we all nerds?  LOL  

in some form or fashion everyone is a nerd/geek but their obsessions are considered "cooler" than others.

but there are levels to nerd and some far surpass that of others. you have the little dream of being a wizard nerd, but once you go to the dark crazy overlord nerd, there is just no explaining it.

Geez, I always forget to check to see if pinned threads have been replied to. Now it is too late for my witty comeback.

Who knew it had a name?  Did you just make the term "griefing" up, Norbert?
I invented swagger.

First off.  It was pretty obvious when a DIA school went after 10 recruits on a DII school.  But In reporting it, not only did the perpetrator get banned but the guys whose players got snatched got banned because they reported it and were accused of continuing a vendetta.  How can one continue a vendetta when they are the ones violated?  Anyways it is bad to grief but equally bad to ***** about it when it happens to you.  Also it doesn't appear to be a lasting ban and the guys whose players were screwed with never did get the same quality players they had.  But since WIS doesn't particularly care for the guys that got screwed it was no big deal.  I guess I'll get banned again for telling the truth.

How can one continue a vendetta when they are the ones violated? When a DL  throws a punch at a OL  and the OL  throws one back.  The OL  gets the flag for coninueation of the violation. I can't see any other reason for it other than they continued the violation. ...... and no I am not saying that it is right at all. Because I do not think it is right nor does it make sense to me.

That was my point.  Just like the calls in the game and the way the upsets continue to happen The Game and the governing body makes no sense.

How did you fail to get the same quality players? They all turned green back to you less than a day after they turned red. Stop making excuses for yourself, you were banned for very clear violations of WIS regulations and you knew you would be banned when you made the comment you did.

You weren't banned for being a victim or reporting the truth.  You were banned for the comments and posts you made in the forums.  Profanity and personal threats against other users are cause for being banned from the forums.  The recruiting violations were handled in a separate matter and were not related to your ban.

Sorry Norbert that's another lie.  In ever used profanity at all.  One thing my parents taught me was not to lie as you can't keep them straight.  You banned my brother and he posted nothing.  I have access to a few other accounts are you going to ban them too?  As for carrying on the vendetta, which is why you said I was banned, please refer to Jts previoyus comment.  Yet you'll do nothing there unless I complain about it and then you'll ban me.  You also said I had been banned 4 times.  Again it is a lie.  Twice from the forum.  Once from WIS SIM because again I reported someone and WIS didn't like the way I told them for the 4th time, and once on WIS football because they said jackass was a bad word of which was overturned 45 minutes later.  So you see why I am skeptical when WIS says they are fixing the game as I have been lied to and about too many times in the past.

Now I guess I will be banned for telling the truth here.  I know you will do nothing to Jt for "continuing the vendetta" as the umpteen times he has been reported
you have conveniently lost.

By the way Jt what you said is a lie too but that is all I'll say.  Just STFU when it concerns me and things will go a lot better.

PS.  Continuing the vendetta was exactly what you told me and others read it also.  Also I didn't threaten him.  I just hired a PI to find him when a monetary offer didn't yield results.  The PI was cheaper and I have the results.  That is not against any law.

Here is exactly what WIS wrote me.  As you can see it reads nothing like what you are saying.  My brother was given NO reason and as he didn't post anything what you did was wrong.  You have lost his business.  He is using up his credits and will be gone.  I am pretty sure I will be following suit.  This is what YOU wrote.  I expect you to give equal treatment to JT as he is obviously continuing by harrassing both Gino and myself.
