Spawn Camping. What's that?!?

[WaLLy]

Hello everyone,

I'm here to ask for your opinions on the current spawn camping rule. As you all know, we currently kick (a few times), then temp ban if its consistent through-out the day and the overly-excessive spawn campers will get permanently banned.

Now that we have lowered (will go in effect in a few short hours, once the server restarts at its usual time) to 30 players; it now means we wont have to worry about it very much anymore.

I'd personally like to have this rule removed but cannot do so until I have the majorities vote on it.

I know some will hate the rule being removed if it passes but you'll have to live with it just as much as I hated lowering the player limit.

So vote Yes on SC-RR!

 

[DamageINC]

Yes..

 

[UnTamed]

oh i vote yes!

I don't think we should remove the rule. The reason is that if there is no rule, then there is no justification for mods kicking spawncampers. Instead of saying that we disallow spawncamper, we are saying that mods are NOT allowed to kick for spawncamping? Personally, I find it a pain in the ass to try and spec for spawncampers, but I find spawncampers to be a huge pain in the ass sometimes, and I know for a fact that the majority of our server members hate spawncampers. The solution that I think is best here is to remove the staff's obligation to spectate and watch constantly for spawncampers, not remove their rigiht to kick spawncampers.

So, there is my question. Will removing our spawncamping rule and allowing spawncamping prevent moderators from being able to justify kicking a spawncamper? Are we now saying that mods are not ALLOWED to kick them, or are we just saying mods do not HAVE to kick them?

Also, does this mean we are going to allow members to spawncamp? Do we want that trashy kind of representation in our servers? It's funny every once in a while, but when you're not playing with people you know, no one gets the joke.

So for these reasons, I don't think removing the rule altogether is a good idea.

Yeah, I should of explained it better I suppose.

Basically, the rule is nice and all but it gets REALLY annoying having to spectate a spawn camper in which they really weren't spawn camping; they'd probably just were raping the spawns like Slaya and the rest of the other monkeys do.

My point is that I personally am sick of having to go into the server and people just bitch about a spawn camper, yet 75% of the time, I can play on S1 comfortably without seeing any spawn campers. It's ridiculous, IMO.

I'm just trying to safe guard the staff where they get so overwhelmed that they can't even play a game or 2 without being harrased. The last thing I'd like to see is a Staff Member not coming to our forum anymore or end up leaving us because it's just too much to deal with. I never liked the rule because of it.

I guess I'm asking for leniency. Basically, if the Moderator is playing, then he can decide if he wishes to kick or get rid of the spawn camper. Obviously Staff already knows that hackers are our #1 priority and they'll get them even if they're playing.

 

[TheDude]

OK then change my vote to yes, but let's be explicit that mods are still allowed to kick for spawncampers.

 

[WaLLy]

I can live with that.

 

[NickHouston]

I think it would be a nice change. I will still kick every single spawncamper i see tho because i like having a clean server.

i voted yes, but I did this because not only do i think it is kind've unfair that mods should have to stop playing to kick someone, but also because i think they should be able to make the choice whether to warn the person through a kick, or through chat.

Maybe a 1 warning (kick or chat) then temp ban would work more easily? still giving the mod the choice of whether to keep playing or not.

Ditto Dude's second post

a total fail ganker?? I like that....lmao

I vote Yes

 

[JohnRyAn]

I also voted yes.

 

[Ratzi]

i vote too yes

 

[felon]

I think it's unanimous.

 

[TheDude]

If i see a MEMBER spawncamping, i will temp ban after 1 warning. Members spawncamping sends a very recognizable message that we support spawncamping, which we don't really. Not to mention, I will not have members be the people everyone is bitching about all the time for pretty much cheating.

 

[The Moment]

I say yea and agree with what TheDude said.

I think the issue is, that if it's a rule then the mods are expected to drop everything and go hunting for the player.

That said, if there's a serial spawn camper pissing everyone else off, a mod can still warn/kick if they choose.
