Everyone please have a look at our Zero Hour Fair Play rules. Current events called for an additional paragraph that I'd like to introduce here:
Accusing Players of Observer-collusion
If an observer passes information to somebody that is still playing in-game, and he/she uses that information to gain an edge, both will be guilty of observer-collusion (non-software MH). This offense will be punished based upon the severity of actions taken by those in violation.
What is considered proof of Observer-collusion?
A player with a defeated, but observing teammate, makes impossible decisions, such as perfectly avoiding or firing on demo-traps, mines, camouflaged units/buildings, all without ever having knowledge of their whereabouts during the match.
(Self-)incriminating videos or screenshots containing the collusion itself or a valid admission of it.
Further explanations can be found at this accusation's topic here.
What about Discord or Teamspeak use.. The DC'ing issue i read on here is completely dumb. If a player chooses to disconnect purposely, that's there choice, even though there really is no point in it, other then a dc on your badge on revora, which the ranking system is completely messed up & doesn't even record wins-losses half the time anyway & IF that person has a shity connection or they have a major storm in there area etc, how can u ban, suspend or do w.e to that person ?.... again that makes no sence. That rule honestly needs to be re-evaluated.

The primary reason Disconnecting is a problem is due to there being a ladder for 1 vs 1 games, which won't record anything for a disconnected match, therefore, disconnecting is not allowed.
The secondary reason, which is as big as the primary, is that it is incredibly annoying when players disconnect, and there is no valid reason for force-disconnecting instead of quitting, other than being malicious.
