I have had a lot of fun watching @ Marcus get dogpiled but ill input my opinion here now
I saw the ticket against sov myself and brought it to staff for a second opinion. I personally believe that rotating a little left or right while autohovered is still autohovering in place. So I brought it to the staff channel and asked and multiple staff agreed that they believed it was bannable. I had already banned @ SheriffJohnBeard 's running mate mr Cheese for a similar occurrence but there was much less movement in his than Sov's. So it definitely deserved a conversation i felt.
So, I do believe it was a fail titan. I do think that the Authohover being turned off technically means she didnt comply BUT that would not be kown in itself by Sov there. The biggest thing with titans is determining if they were evading or if they are directly non compliant with the request. Adding a 'dont move' in the text helps eliminate this issue. the BBC fellas have now altered their text to accommodate this as well.
And I have denied a LOT of false titan reports. I try to give the titaner as much credit as i can for assuming someone is evading or not complying etc. But, in the end, if someone is given enough time to comply and they are attempting to comply, they should not be titaned. Enough time can be a bit subjective but common sense usually covers that.
Jay did a pretty good job summarizing sov's message to include all the stuff while being much shorter. If you have to have a mass text, try to cover everything with as little words as possible to make it readable in 5 seconds so youre not waiting 5 seconds and still getting banned cuz its too long ;D
