I have to agree, the Dispute system is fucking stupid when it comes to reports. I get it in terms of keeping "Comp or ban" messages separate from initiation messages or what not but I had an issue with it my self.
I was trying to rob a player who ended up combat logging on me and I had the whole thing clipped. I made a comp & player report on the forums and I was told that due to the fact I didn't dispute the person the claim was invalid, even though the whole clip speaks for its self. Case was closed and end of. That wasn't good enough for me. I made a new report in hopes of getting an staff member with more brain cells than a fucking potato, I explained that I couldn't physically dispute the player as they were literally not on the list.
Thankfully this time around brain cells were used and my comp was received and the player was banned. Its quite clear to see that some staff are fucking lazy and its easier for them to just mark it as invalid or so.
Really fear if this is the case for other situations. Whats stopping someone coming on to the server, Nuking the shit out of it with hacks and because there was no disputes it's just "Invalid".
