A useful, easily-monitored thread for telling us about typos, grammar flubs, factual errors and other mistakes. These are always helpful, but are easily-missed (and occasionally derailing) in threads created by specific posts.
(This used to be called Corecktions but @sam had to ruin all the fun and rename it so search could find this.)
to topic: in the headline Cory just posted, it’s not “wrong,” I don’t think, but it would be much clearer if the “swat” in “swatting” was in caps i.e. “SWATting,” denoting the law enforcement acronym. it now reads like “swatting” is some sort of in-game tactic, like “slapping” or something.
You are absolutely corect in your deduction. Swatting has been used as an in-game tactic. Just like regular “Swatting”, it involves a 911 call, insinuations of a terror threat, and a SWAT team. Many people recognize swatting from the recent increase in swatting incidents around the country.
