Your Warcraft III Username: huggies.
Violator's Warcraft III Username: Ultrafilter ; keef2 ; Denverbronco
Violated Rule(s): FF abuse
Time of Violation (in-game or replay): starting at 7:49
Any further thoughts: These 3 players abused the FF command. lucky that the 4th person didn't ff else the game would have been a lost
It was an easy game once axe early advantage was gone.

there's no such thing as ff abuse since if the 4th person ffs, the game would've been forfeited which is what the function is designed for (majority rule).

the only time ff usage is considered abuse is spamming it and as indication of player attitude in ruining the game and not playing.

Wrong on both accounts, especially when ff abuse by definition (and banned for) is when !ff is used maliciously, jokingly, and/or when the game is nowhere near being considered a lost game (e.g. when the game is still in its early phases).

One of the major deciding factors is if !ff passes or not, in which if it passes, the ban is usually heavier than if it didn't pass.

I'm pretty sure both of you know this, especially kasper as he was definitely banned for ff abuse more than once.

While the above is true, the 2/3 !FF's that occurred were before the command was even allowed to be used. No bans will be issued.
