For those of you who dont know. I don't play in a UTASSAULT League Team! Feel free to consider my opinion null and viod and leave now.
Still here? Good.
I hate to say it but having been hanging around here for some time now the general degradation in attitude towards fellow players and league admins dismays me.
FYI and by way of demonstrating just how lenient your league admins are to you lot. here are excerpts from the Code of Cunduct rules from one of the gaming leagues I play in.
NBT Rules of Conduct
The following are rules that are generally expected of most adults in all walks of life. A certain level of maturity is required to be a part of the NBT community.
Admins: You will follow the instructions of authorized personnel while in NBT servers or on the Official NBT Forums. Authorized Personnel may include (but not limited to): League Admins, Server Admins, & Forum Moderators.
The Rules: You will not taunt or otherwise encourage other players to violate any NBT or game rules. You will not allow another player to taunt you into violating any NBT or game rules. NBT Rules are to be upheld at all times, by all members.
Cheating: Cheating in ALL forms are strictly forbidden. In the game, in the automation, in comms, wherever. Any player found intentionally cheating will be banned from NBT-Mercs. This includes exploiting any bugs in the game itself to obtain an unfair advantage over your opponents.
Cheating Accusations: Should you feel that someone is cheating, you MUST have proof. At that point you will contact NBT Administration with said proof. No public announcements on the forums, IRC or emails. NBT Admins will then make a determination on the nature of the proof, and what action will be taken.
Cursing & Offensive Remarks: You may not use any offensive, sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable remarks. You will not use partial masking in order to use inappropriate words that would otherwise be in violation of the rules. [Note: If we can tell what word you are trying to mask, and the word is in violation of the rules, then the partially masked word is in violation of the rules. Hint: Try using cartoon speak when you really want to say something naughty. "I am &^%^$% lost!" This is an example of complete masking and is acceptable.]
Gloating, Whining & Pouting: People win. People lose. This is a game. Winners are suppossed to be proud of their accomplishments, but not to the detriment of the members and morale of the other unit. On the other hand, when a battle is lost there is no excuse for stalking off or sulking as a result. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Let the other team know it was a "Good Game" and continue playing. Basically this comes down to a certain level of maturity on the part of the members of the league.
Attitudes & Egos: These will not be tolerated in NBT. Each of us is here to have fun. People with massive egos, chips on their shoulders, or just bad attitudes are a waste of the admins time as well as that of other units. If you are not here to have fun, and allow others to do the same, you are in the wrong place, and need to move on.
Players that violate the NBT Rules of Conduct may be subject to the temporary suspension of their NBT Play Rights as well as permanent banning if so determined by League Admins.
Lastly, please understand that all of the Administrators of this league volunteer their time, talents and, sometimes even money to make this work. We are all adults and can take constructive criticism and suggestions, but if you just want to gripe and whine – you’re in the wrong league.
These rules are actually enforced!!! New players to the league get a shock at first when they are banned from the next match for swearing in chat.
Players either learn to follow the rules or their clan leader is involved by the league admins. If the CL doesnt get a handle on it then the team is fined a percentage of their points.
Further abuse leads to the player being banned from the league matches.
Any of you who think this is draconian - it leads to a mature competitive league, and enforcement is rarely required.
This league is about the same size as UTA.
The long and short of it. Try and raise the level of maturity please. Stop abusing each other and you will never see someting like this in UTA.
League admins - if it doesnt stop feel free to cut and paste for the above into the the UTA league rules.

Any people actually play in this league?! 
It only becomes a problem when things are said intentionally to upset someone else. But by ruling out the whole lot you are taking away the fun as well as the abuse. 
You'll excuse me if I stick with UTAS for now 
took 3 edits to get it right!
NOT
