Behavioral Systems

• Added the ability to report players in the game in order to provide with more opportunities to help us identify and take action on folks displaying toxic or disruptive behavior. These reports will also give us more information about exactly when during the course of the game the disruption occurred, which will help improve our systems going forward. We hope you never need to use this but it's there if you do.

Team formation for the second weekend will be open starting on May 8th.
