Its been a while since we had a Vendetta and some of the specifics on the use of the Gaming Channel may have slipped from some people's minds, or the Auto-Join is still turned on for the channel.

Just a friendly reminder, copied and pasted from the Rites of Combat:

A member can be in #dbgaming for several hours trying to find a match, but may not idle in the channel. If they do not respond to the Dark Council or the Fist's Staff they will be kicked from the channel to make sure the member isn’t match dodging. Multiple offenses of match dodging during a Vendetta or other major event may get you disqualified from the entire gaming portion of the event.
