I'm sure you've all seen a copious amount of "SCREENSHARING IS A MUST!!!" threads, and it really pisses me off when they get locked too quickly for me to rebut their argument, so here we go, a thread about why Badlion SHOULDN'T do screenshares.

1. Invasion of Privacy - Im sure you've all heard this before. I'm not going to write too much about this point as a lot of my other points tie into this.

2. Players' Inconvenience - It's not fair for a player to be forced under quite a lot of pressure to let staff crawl through their computer for durations up to an hour long when they just want to play the server in peace, they might not be able to play for very long and sucking up an hour of their time for something they may not have done.

3. Unprofessional - Yeah, maybe it seems okay for smaller servers to screenshare such as PvPLounge and all those shitty ass HCF servers, but on a much larger server that has arguably the best anticheat on all of Minecraft and strives to be the most competitive PvP network, it seems rather unprofessional. To explain this point better, here's an example. Imagine you're playing matchmaking in CSGO and suddenly you get frozen, and a valve staff member tells you to come onto TS and download join.me, and if you log out you will be overwatch banned. Isn't that a bit ridiculous? It really dulls down the competitiveness of the game if you can literally freeze people who are the slightest bit suspicious. This could also be abused on such a large server, for example let's say Danteh wants to get flawless stats on BuildUHC so he is talking to m0xy in TeamSpeak or something and if Danteh starts getting beaten he gets m0xy to screenshare Danteh's opponent, and bans him if he sees anything remotely suspicious.

4. False bans - People have lives outside of Minecraft white categorically, and with that comes many times on a large Network where people will be forced to logout of the screenshare due to having to go to dinner or other things, some parents aren't as lenient as others and will literally turn their child's computer off if they don't listen. On such a large Network there would be a lot of screenshares and that means a larger number of people getting false banned. Linking back the the "Invasion of Privacy", I'm sure there are many people who would not want to share their computer with strangers and would simply logout thinking "What the fuck is wrong with that server?" and log onto Hypixel instead.

I can't really think of any right now but I am sure you people can think up some more reasons. Thanks.

I just don't know why people keep making threads about why we should or shouldn't screenshare.. Archy has already said badlion won't screenshare, only he can during tournaments.

Considering this is like the third thread about this I've seen today, it's relevant to the discussion.

You think I give a fuck that Archybot has already said screensharing is not going to be added? Well I fucking don't. I'm making this thread to rebut the arguments of everyone who thinks it should be added, so get the fuck off my thread if you don't have anything to say regarding the actual discussion.

Back down and learn some respect for other people, especially since the person you are talking to is a staff member.

Fuck off, got it? I couldn't give any less fucks about whether he's a staff member or not, I'm not going to let him trash my fucking thread, so both of you get the FUCK off my thread. Just because you have a blue suffix doesn't mean you can tell me what to do when I've done nothing wrong, from staff members such as yourselves I'd expect you to stay on topic and not fucking shitpost.

Fuck off.
