Appeal Process against Anti-Seal Clubbing Penalty (~800 below max infamy)

I wonder whether there should be an appeal process for players affected by the anti-seal clubbing penalty.

Obviously some players deliberately drop infamy, and should be punished to protect the weaker players.

But I’m talking about the genuine players who, for whatever reason, lose a lot of infamy and get caught up in it. It can take them a long time to get back out, and they can become frustrated and even quit the game. Or they may become uptight due to the penalty, and so play poorly as a result which compounds the problem. And once they’re being punished, it is harder to improve your gear/training so it is harder to climb again.

At the moment, the penalty is applied using an automated system, which looks purely at infamy and ignores things like, for example
Were there floaters on my team?
Was I carried to my infamy high?
Did I have bad teammates?
Was the internet bad in my part of the world, and so I suffered a lot of disconnection?
Am I performing in each game, but just being unlucky?
Etc

So my thought would be that a player could submit a request for their results to be looked by a human who could make a judgement on this looking at a more rounded set of factors. In fact, I wonder whether this is a right players have under GDPR? (Under GDPR people have the right for a human to review decisions made by machines, but not sure whether game data is included in GDPR)

If the player stays at the low infamy limit, their results should be regularly reviewed to make sure they aren’t then abusing the system.

NB: I am not subject to these anti-tanking rules myself, so this is not a selfish request.

 

I agree. Any system implemented would need to be one that wasn’t heavy on manpower.
I’m probably suggesting looking at battle results screens, plus disconnection reports, as these probably would have enough data to show whether a player was playing hard. I’m not suggesting that a Dev would watch all the replays, as that would be far too much work.
