Wasn't sure if this should go under sc2 general, so I just put it under blogs.

Anyway, so I was playing a 1v1(zvp) and this guy said he would report me for this trick I do(he said it was an exploit, I assume your not allowed to use bugs, but I didn't think this was so much a "bug", at least not one that you couldn't do.)

What I do sometimes in ZvP is if they go for forge first into expo, I send my scouting drone to their natural, then build a hatch, cancel it, and use the creep that it generates originally to build an evo chamber. This delays their hope for a FE for at least a minute, including having them to place cannons in the position so that they can kill it. Since I only lost a little minerals, I can expand myself safely, in the lead.

But this guy said that he was going to report me for "abuse". So now I'm scared, and afraid I'm going to get banned.

Is this bannable? Furthermore, what should I do?

Also since some people want me to upload, and just so they can see it in action plus perhaps see his side, here's the replay.

Creative, yes. Annoying, yes. Bannable? No...

Tell him to learn to cope with stuff like that, I actually think you were at a disadvantage because he could have easily countered by making gateways and zealot rushing.

Tell him to stop being a whiny complainer and play the game with manner.

You can't get banned for this stuff. It's smart play. >.>

I mean...unless they found a way to do allied mines in SC2.......

That's what I was thinking. He is whining you are making a building to block his expo? Tell him to watch any PvZ ever and suck it up. You just found an innovative way to compete

haha, why would you get banned for this? Thats like the old pylon block, or Supply depot block people would do against Zerg back in Brood War.

A protoss player is pissed because a Zerg is denying his expo? This is the very definition of ironic.

Wow, he is pissed because you wasted all of those minerals to block his expo, when Protoss waste the same amount blocking Zerg expo with a Pylon, then... I don't even know what to say -_-

This means you delayed your expo too, so you're even.

For a second I thought this was a thread requesting a temp-ban. XD
I'm pretty sure that what you did isn't ban-able; some people are just bm/sore losers when they go up against something that they don't like.

Well played my friend!

This is definitely not a bannable offence. Just because you denied his expansion using a legitimate strategy... Its like banning someone because they blocked your expansion with a pylon! Oh noes!
