People were threatening to ban other people if they wouldn't melee? Whoever that is...they have something coming to them. Yikes!
Powerlord: i agree with scrambling, it's totally fine and a judgement call...stacking wether or not it's intentional seems to happen often (yes there are a lot of players who join at random, i know this). I have been forcing scrambles often lately too due to seeing a team being rolled a few times in a row.
