SPAWN CAMPING

Probably one of the most heated issues in the server revolves around spawn killing and thus spawn camping.   Some folks insist on imposing their style of play on everyone else - usually by denigrating "Camping".   Our server encourages all styles of play as long as the rules are followed.  Those of you who are not adept at the camping style need to find another server that is more to your liking.   We don't force you to enter our server so keep your mouth shut about those of us who find the use of clays and sniping as skill oriented as running and gunning which, after all requires less brains and more quick reflexes.  We who camp do not frown on the R&G bunch who periodically get frustrated when they are unable to function in the world of stealth.  

On the other hand, Spawn Camping is another matter.   Spawn Killing is not limited to the Camping community.  R&G's can Run to one spawn area to another and this is no less NOOBISH.  As an Admin, I prefer, not to kick or ban unless an infraction can be verified visually and aurally.  I would suggest that since the spawner has no choice that some consideration be given to that player.  "I'm not waiting for him to shoot me..." is a common defense for shooting into a spawn area.  I suggest that shooting into or outof spawn areas be considred kickable offenses.   Spawners should not be allowed to camp in a spawn area, nor shoot out of a spawn area... shooting into or out of spawn areas can be spectated by admin and is thus veifiable.
