    Hey Brawl Community!
    My name is Grenzo.
    I'm very liking this website to be honest, but I'm still new.
    Okay, lets get into the topic.
    Today, I was playing Capture The Flag, like usual.
    And, I was going to take the Flag from the enemy base, and I suddenly saw a Medic to heal me.
    Luckily, there was no-one there, so I asked him for help.
    I kept jumping in front of him so he knows that I need assistance.
    Then, I realize he probably doesn't know what I'm saying.
    So I press "T", and I ask him to heal me in chat.
    Then out of the blue he says: "nu".
    I reply with: "Yes! Please heal me!".
    But he keeps on replying "No.".
    So I asked him why, and he said: "Nah, I won't heal you, I'm a troll."
    Then I told him I was going to report him, but I actually wasn't. I just wanted to see if it was gonna change his mind or not.
    But, he still doesn't heal me.
    So, I try to take the flag, and well.... I die.

    My question is, is "trolling" or purposely not helping your teammate punishable?
    Because, I feel like it should be. You're a medic for a reason, and that's to help your team. Not only throw cobwebs.

    Underneath will be proof showing the dialogue. 2017-05-21_18.23.38.png 2017-05-21_18.23.38.png

    Thanks for reading my 2nd post!

    Hello, first I would suggest reading the rules if you are confused about what is and what isn't punishable on our server. You can find a link here:
    https://www.brawl.com/threads/3311/

    If that does not work, go to the forums section, "News and Announcements" then click on "Rules and Information" and look for the thread "Server Rules".

    According to our rules, yes, trolling is punishable. However in this case I would not consider this trolling.

    I think of trolling in the sense of misleading players or feeding them incorrect information.
    Simply not healing someone would not qualify as trolling in my book. Yes, the person is on your team and not healing you. They are not obligated to. I hope this clears things up.

    Trolling in chat is punishable, but ingame, just because he doesn't heal you, that isn't punishable. Mostly because he really isn't doing anything wrong, since he isn't obligated to heal you.
