Hello core-ss Admin Team, I am writing to formally report a player named Tamik for intentional friendly fire and disruptive behavior, as well as to bring attention to a recurring issue on the server. The Incident: On June 29 during a match on the core-ss server, Tamik specifically sought me out and intentionally shot me at the very beginning of the game for absolutely no reason. While he didn't outright kill me, this unprovoked damage was clearly malicious and designed to ruin my gameplay right from the start. The Broader Issue: While I understand that a minor amount of trolling occasionally happens in multiplayer games, the core issue here goes beyond a single incident. There is a systemic problem where certain "old" players continuously exhibit this kind of toxic behavior, effectively preventing regular players from actually playing and enjoying the game. Whenever a player like myself objects to this blatant griefing, these individuals protect and cover for each other. They use their status to bully others and completely disrupt the intended gameplay loop of L4D2. Evidence: To back up my claim, I have downloaded the demo/replay directly from the core-ss server. I have attached the file to this post. Demo: https://dl.core-ss.org/demos/server_2/auto-20260629-223603-c8m5_rooftop-27016.dem.zip Offending Player: Tamik Player's SteamID: STEAM_1:1:214648031 I kindly request the admin team to review the attached evidence and take appropriate action against Tamik's griefing. Furthermore, I hope you will look into this ongoing issue of veteran players gatekeeping and ruining the server experience for everyone else. We all just want to play a fair and enjoyable game. Thank you for your time and for keeping the community clean.
