Why come into the TF2 servers unless you intend to play?

Server rule is no spawn camping- that includes both sitting outside the opposing spawn waiting to kill people, and sitting in your spawn shooting out. The only exceptions to this are, as Ayeaka mentioned, at the start of games with a setup time when you're pretty much forced to do so at game start (such as Hoodoo, Gold Rush, and Dustbowl), and maps such as Nucleus, where it's understood that the map layout is going to inevitably lead to people sniping from near (not inside) spawn, as well as inevitably finding yourself near the opposing spawn doors.

The rule has been brought up repeatedly, and the answer has always been the same: No Spawn Camping. Period. There is no debate, there is no revision- it simply is. That's just part of being on the TFP servers.

Ayeaka was merely making you aware of this rule, as you seem unfamiliar with it.

I'm fairly certain Witchie's also stated the 'you have other exits' defense is invalid. The offense is sitting outside someone's spawn door, waiting to kill them. Not that they come out and get killed.

That's like (as I've heard in game) arguing that the Pyro's flamethrower is a melee weapon.

record "name"

After that it's a good idea to type in

status

As that displays all players' Steam IDs, which helps identify who should be banned, and eliminates any arguments about someone pretending to be someone else to get them banned.

Once it's all done (personally I suggest not mentioning that you're recording a demo, but if possible get people to speak up about the problem- as this is basically asking people to complain, it's not hard to do) you can then type

stop

And the demo should be recorded with the name, in \tf2\<name>\ directory on your computer.

Didn't know it was a rule, sorry.

Could have been told, rather than insulted, though.

*will be more careful in the future*

I was talking about the server, not here.

HURR.

Hey, what happened to TFP #2? Yesterday there was horrible lag and now it's not on my favorites or history server list.
