I do not see the point in this rule being re-added, leeching does not effect the game as much as people assume, for 1 there are about atleast 10 people who bhop ahead of everyone and the people who do not know how to bhop would essentially be called out for leeching so it would look bad on newer players who could essentially be punished, in my eyes it is a useless rule and it would have to effect on the server.

That means if there is some shit that is confusing you about the rule you bring it up to be clarified dont be lazy and just remove it.

The Motd menu with the rules pops up on the players screen automatically when they connect so there should be no excuse for the users not to follow the rules as they're greeted with it when connected and if they have any questions or anything they need to complain about, they should notify us about said issue.

blue - Yes there is plenty of bhoppers on the server, so? It's not like bhoppers couldn't leech also, taken into account small maps or otherwise traps. It won't look bad on newer players and it never has. Last but not least, don't punish them then if they're not leeching.

Like I said before, the leeching rule has never caused issues in the past. All you're giving me is hypothetical nonsense that it will look "bad" on newer players".

purple - I think you need to re-read EMP's post.

I'd like to see this however when the rule was there nobody was getting warned for it and 9/10 staff members didn't care about it.	rroobbiinn10xx Offline Diamond Boarder Zwarte piet is not racist Posts: 4049 Thanks received: 1738 Karma: 42

I don't think you understand what I am saying, people mostly win from bhopping and I am on the server currently and I cannot see anyone leeching. If 2 players are left alive and they do not want to bait the trap that can fall into the delay of round rule, as they're wasting the round by just standing their waiting for another person.
There is really no use for this rule because you cannot fix leeching 100% and it will be hard for staff members to spectate a server with 30+ people to determine who is leeching and who isn't.

orange - explained in an earlier post.

blue - Not everything needs a slay or warn. The rule is just there to remind people that they're playing a game and they should try their own ability to win. As mentioned by others, the betting system allows for more leeching as people are too pussies to lose what they bet.

You're making this hard for every staff member by thinking adding the leeching rule will require them to spectate the server with 30+ people when in reality they should play the game themselves and act their rank when someone is doing something against the rules.

You shouldn't not add a rule because staff can't handle it. Rules are there to fix any problem that a user might encounter and to make sure everyone has the most fun experience. Rules are not there to make a staff's job easier. If there is indeed a problem and if this rule can fix that problem then there is literally no reason to not add this rule.

It does affect the game when people are just playing so they can win points and exp whilst leeching off other people's skill and effort. Punishing players who aren't trying to bait traps is ridiculous, but when it's obvious and you can see that they are doing it to an excessive amount then there's your answer. When someone is sitting on the very first trap waiting for the round to end so they can receive their 5000 points and a handful of experience points, it's stupid and just plain wrong.
Also what's the point of having staff if they don't want to enforce the rules of the server? Staff should be committed and attend to all rules of the server and agree to do a good job of enforcing them.

Bringing back the leeching rule isn't a good idea as there is no point. This is because there a lack of clarity over what the leeching rule is. Some people think it is where you wait for other people to finish the map and purposefully staying alive. Infact the rule is actually where you are the last person alive and you are delaying the round.

The rule is that you don't try to help trigger traps and therefore let the others do the work.

I know this and you know this but as Pitt stated there are some staff and players who don't fully understand the rule and is fairly unavoidable.

You could just tell them the rule or better yet update the rule list so it specifies what leaching "people don't know what leaching is" don't really seem like a good reason to remove the rule to me

And if a new player joins the server you tell them about the rule if they break it not straight up warn them then if they proceed to keep breaking the rules you can punish them what's the point in you being staff if your just going to remove the rules because people don't follow that rule or understand it. Seriously what happened to the staff team
