I got banned from Spawns server today.
For those of you that want to here the story, those of you that don't, and those of you who have no opinion, here’s the story.
I was playing XMP in Spawnies XMP Server today with Challenger and there had been multiple good maps in a row (for once) and we were having fun pwning everyone. All of the sudden I see "Loading next level XMP-AMP-Overlord-Alpha2" and I decide that my good map streak is ruined. Also, for the record, I start off the map like any normal map running around shooting people and hacking stuff. Then, since I'm so bored and It's such a crappy map, I flag down Challenger and we decide to have a little fun. The deploys on the map take 1/1000000th of a second to hack (one of the reasons I hate that map) so Challenger and I start hacking. We're hacking the deploy really fast and it's spamming on everyone's screen and we're having a good time until Spawn(H&W) says "stop that or i will ban you smot." I believe it was at that point that I got my first kick from the server. I quickly rejoin and start playing like normal, occasionally sneaking over to the deploy to hack it with Challenger (slower this time so as not to attract attention) and I get around 10k so I start playing again. After about 3 minutes of playing I get bored once again so I decide to try to win a GVG using only concussion grenades. I'm doing pretty good, killing the occasional ranger and tech with them, but no gunners. I've conced every blue player at least 6 times a piece but I haven't gotten that GVG kill I was hoping for. I keep concing all the opponent gunners I see and spawn(h&w) starts getting annoyed. She says "stop being a dick smot" and of course I reply with "Sorry." "im tryin to win a gvg with conc nades" she says nothing so I keep going. I think I get her once (still not sure if it was me or something else because I was blinded when it happened but she fell to her death.) I keep concing every blue player available in hopes that I will get a gunner. Still nothing. Then all of the sudden spawn(h&w) spawns (no pun intended) right in front of me so I conc her. I get her with a couple of good ones the BAM I kill her. I leap for joy on the inside but two seconds later I see "Your IP address has been banned from this server."
The End.
Now discuss weather conc spamming is a bannable cause, and if it is does that make gas spamming a bannable cause? How about turret spamming? (It’s even worse, not only is it uber annoying, it also lags the server) How about deploy point hacking? They’re all parts of the game, so they shouldn’t be bannable causes. If you’re going to play a map where the deploys can be hacked that fast you shouldn’t be allowed to ban for people hacking them.
