    Question on camping spawn. I was banned for standing outside the respawn as a medic. Why can pigskin pipe the spawn and say thats permitted.

    He pipes all spawns. Main spawn and sniper spawn. I don't want tit for tat I just want to know the rules that are real and true.

Like I said he claims that piping spawns is allowed I just want to know the answer from the right people.
Thanks

    So you can poison, pipe, etc at the respawn to the sniper deck, but not allowed to do so at the drop down and 2nd floor near the ramp room respawn. You can also do whatever you like to the basement resupply room.

Like English, there are twist to these rules. You can spam the forbidden areas IF a player is playing at the respawn exits, such as sissy demoman pipping while hiding in the respawn doorway; in which case spam away good sir.

Allow me to clarify:

The Sniper Deck door is "open season" on, because the dropdown is considered "protected", just like the Main Respawn exit(there's only one there). The basement room is simply a Resupply, so anything goes, there.

The "rule" is to not go for cheap kills from freshly spawned players. That's why the Main Respawn and Dropdown exits are "protected" by this rule. Any player that Respawns, should have a way to get "in play".

Like Help said, though... there are a few reasons that nullify this rule:

Copied directly from the FAQ:

2.8 - What constitutes respawn spamming/camping?

There is no fine line for someone to walk on this rule. The general rule of thumb is to not try to get cheap kills from people spawning. We want to provide protection from people sitting outside the spawn door with a pipe trap, but at the same time not allowing people to run into spawn to hide every time they might get killed or infected.

Accidents happen. People will get killed right outside the spawn with a grenade primed. People will toss a grenade at a sentry to have it bounce off an enemy's head and to the spawn door.

There are legitimate reasons to spam the spawn as well. A streaking or statwhorish player may be playing out of (hugging) the respawn, in which case attacking them there is really your only chance of killing them. The same is said for sniper spawn, as this gives people permission to jump up and hunt them down (so long as they aren't spamming all their grenades trying to get cheap kills from other people). Explicitly allowed is one spy grenade, as it makes a team paranoid about spies and reduces their effectiveness. Spamming 4 gas nades at the spawn is trying to get cheap kills, however. Even if this is a team effort (one gas gren per spy), having more than two gas grenades there is trying to get cheap kills and whoever adds to the spam is guilty.
IF someone is illegally piping, or spamming the Respawn, please, use the !report function. While an Admin may not be on, Drippy- gets the message directly, and can deal with it if he's around. If an Admin is on, we usually look into !reports discretely. Myself, I always !msg the person who made the !report that I'm looking into it.

Pubchat: !report <player> <infraction>

    Speaking of Drippy - anyone hear from him? Emailed him last week about my donation command. Don't think he's posted here in a little but but could be wrong.
