The mods have decided to change how we will treat hipfiring from this point forward. Since now, Moderators have been treating hipfires on a different basis depending on it being red heart game or a gold heart game, giving trolling for red hearts and gt for gold hearts. This is counter-intuitive because not all hipfiring is exactly GT, given that it requires intent and is only sub-optimal at times. This has been discussed and changed in mind of the coming round(s), in which it will come down to moderator discretion on whether the hipfire is trolling/gt. This does not mean that you should go and hipfire your friends, as GT will still be given accordingly for those who shoot players out of grudge or into near autoloss situations.
i'm not exactly sure what all the fuss is about when this rule means the you're more likely to get either a less severe violation for hipfiring or get no violation at all. previously, the guidelines were that hipfiring in red heart was always trolling and that hipfiring in gold heart was always gamethrowing. with the implementation of this new rule, it's being left up to the discretion of the moderator handling the case. whilst i cannot speak on behalf of the other mods (but i'm sure they'll agree with me), i'm going to be looking very closely at the intent behind the action. if it's not intentionally playing against your win condition, it won't get the game throwing violation. if it's not playing with the intent to antagonise players or derive a negative reaction, it wont receive the trolling violation. this will often mean that you'll get less severe violations or no violations at all, as the majority of hipfires aren't done with the intent to throw the game. i hope i've been able to explain this sufficiently to you but if you'd like to know anything else please don't hesitate to ask.
Всё, что случилось обратно не вернуть. Помни ошибки, не повторяя путь. И что ожидает нам тоже не узнать. Спи, успокойся. Скоро придется встать. И спешить в суету, спешить в пустоту. Не хитрых будних дел. Не зная о том, что вслед за тобой Кто-то полетел.
Знаешь, однажды, когда все лягут спать - Сон не придет к тебе, но не захочешь встать. Растянув своё тело на светлых простынях, Ты будешь думать, переживать о днях.
I'm personally in favor of blacklisting every setup without a gun so that hipfiring can become the standard on this site, what are we without guns after all? This site is made in the US
denial the complaints forum is further down I'm sorry friend this isn't the place

Would you rather mods just follow stringent rules like a couple of robots or allow things to be left up to interpretation? This makes it easier not only for players but for mods because it's much easier to monitor a decision, because right now it was just 'red heart is trolling and gold heart is GT', which isn't fair.
