Always makes me laugh when on a server and an Admin pipes up with "let them get out of their spawn".
So in a game where the genaral idea is to shoot the enemy until there are no tickets left they want me to stand around and do nothing whilst people drive/run past me even tho i can see them.
Once all flags are captured, enemy spawn is open game, Take Panama for example, if the opposing team are bad enough that they get pushed back to spawn when there are 4 flags widely spaced around the map, then they deserve to be shot over and over and over again.

Spawn raping is lame. Map design on some of them is just pathetic and the village level (whatever the hell its called, you start with an APC and some quads with the river through the middle) the spawning area is TINY with only 1 way in or out. Infact, its not even blocked off the ****ing zone which makes it even more stupid, there were literally people camped ON the spawn causing the entire team to leave, then the autobalance to kick in, then the entire replacement team to leave. The server lost 20-25 players in the space of 10 minutes.
Just because the game/map is badly designed to allow spawnrape doesn't mean you should.

Both teams spawn equal with no flags captured, if you dont capture flags you deserve to be raped,
If spawn rape wasn't meant to be a tactical option then surely they'd have greyed out the map like on rush.
Is there even a symbol over the base like in BF2 to show that its an uncap?

Theres a difference between allowing people into a base to kill a camper or whatever and allowing half a team to sit there at a bottleneck giving you no hope. This isn't war, its a game, the 'viable tactic' ******** doesn't cut it as a reason to ruin a server because i've seen several lose over half there players through spawn rape.

So the use of the word 'pwning' somehow invalidates the rest of my point? Well done, you just proved yourself a winnar!

Exactly.
The server admin's job is to try and make sure as many people as possible on the server are enjoying themselves, meaning that they will stay on the server and return to play on it again. Letting the 'leet d00dz' spawn camp for the last 50 tickets might be fun for one team, but it won't be fun for the people getting killed over and over again as soon as they spawn. Especially once half of them leave, instantly massively unbalancing the teams and then meaning the admin has to step in to resolve that issue too. This then leads to complaints from those people forced to swap to the losing side...
So yeah, great, carry on playing the way you want to Sgt Pepper. Just don't be too shocked when admins get uppity about it just because they want to be "lame" and try to keep everyone happy.

That is sadly often the temptation. I've tried to resist doing that kind of thing on the OcUK server so far though. Mostly because I don't have any kind of admin on the forums here
The game since the patch is horrible imo, they nerfed too much, impossible to get to mcoms in some rounds now, as you carnt clear the defenders out of the area, only time you have it easy is if most of defenders are wanna be snipers.
I mean since when does a 40mm grenade on target not take out defenders difusing mcoms, it's like their invicible to them now, I fire in three while they were difusing, I got the little cross come up, but not one kill, really depressing

People want to keep their server populated, if you spawn rape then it just causes the other team to leave, which in turn makes the population of the server plummet just because you want cheap kills.
Spawn rape is a legit tactic, but a hell of a lot of Admins won't tolerate it, so "piping up" about it to stop 1 team destroying another is acceptable. If my team is the 1 spawn raping and it's just on a random server i'll leave myself, because it's boring, and I don't see how anyone could find it fun, and at the end of the day people play this game for that purpose, not to get frustrated by some pre-pubescent kids standing around a spawn point in a semi-circle, shooting people when they try and play their game
Anyone seen this before, I got it just after a hacker was on the server that completly wrecked the game.
heres the hacker if you admins wanna put him on your lists
His attitude was, its only a game, get on with it, this was on a pb streaming server, pb on and all that.

The irony is that the only way that hacker could have avoided pb is by paying for the hack.
It could be that the admin has an auto-kick thing that stops people wandering off on there own (ie, lone wolf), which sounds a bit stupid.
I got it after I managed to switch sides and tag him with a tracer, lol, dont think it was that though, he then left
your nearly right, the general Idea is to have fun playing it. Which it never is, if you die the very second you spawn.

that is a server running wolfcon, it forces people into squads or kicks them, its an rcon setting and fully automated.
