There are two situations at which veader specializes that agitate me. First, we're on Desert, veader is on my team, and because he's just sitting there destroying bikes, the team balance is skewed, even though the teams technically *are* even. One extra guy going for the objective does make that much difference in a game, and when you have one or more people just wandering off in the middle of nowhere doing nothing pertaining to the game, it hurts the balance, and thus, the activity of the server. Plus, every now and then, he does kill me with these antics when I try to get on a bike and either he sabers it or another one explodes nearby. (I should also mention that he has killed me many times by blowing up my mines on Hoth and Korriban, and I suspect that it was intentional, though he does a good job of masking it if so).
Second (and this can happen on any map), veader just starts mouthing off to people. Sometimes, he tries to force people to acknowledge him (i.e. when he says hi, and then when no one responds, he'll say "I SAID HI"), and others, he just talks trash either to someone who just killed him or someone he just killed. Since he doesn't have enough skill to justify talking trash, his victims mouth off back to him, and a big drama / trash talk war is started. This also affects the balance of the game, because people are talking instead of playing, but it also affects the mood of the game, which further hurts the activity of the server.
However, if an admin tries to control the situation, veader either lashes out at the admin in a very disrespectful way, avoids the admin's attempts, or both. It's becoming very apparent that he doesn't care about siege, and that he is much more trouble than he is worth. I believe he should be banned. If someone really wants to try and pull him around, they can get him on xfire and talk with him about behavior, and then I might change my mind about it, but only if I see some real changes on his part.
