Looking at the server rules.

They differ slightly to the ones found on the front page

http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/content.php?186-server-rules_1

1. You Must Join a Squad
2. No Spawn Raping Uncapable Bases (applies to all modes except SDM)
3. No Spawn Camping (this will get you kicked if you do it too much)
4. No Vehicles until Server Reaches 5v5 (this is designed to help seed the server)
5. Once there is >12 on the server (ie: 6v6) - Move to separate TS3 channels

1. You Must Join a Squad
dMw is a Community based on Teamwork. Joining a squad is essential to facilitate good teamwork.

2. No Spawn Raping Uncapable Bases (applies to all modes except SDM)
Constantly shelling or firing into bases without MCom stations or ââ,¬Å"flagsââ,¬Â is considered Spawn Raping. Not only will it annoy the opposition it is bad form and unacceptable on our server.

3. No Spawn Camping (this will get you kicked if you do it too much)
BC2 is an objective based game. When attacking, if all you do is sit on a hill and snipe for frags then youââ,¬â,,¢re not completing the objective. Do this for too long and you will be warned. Fail to heed the warning will get you kicked.

4. No Vehicles until Server Reaches 5v5 (this is designed to help seed the server)
This is straight forward. When the server numbers are low, the use of Armour will only turn the battle into a one-sided slaughter (in most cases). This will hamper server seeding and may result in publics dropping from the server.
In certain circumstances the use of quad bikes for transport may be permitted. This is at the discretion of the Admin(s) on the server at the time.

5. Registered dMw members should use TeamSpeak3 whenever practical.
Due to the poor quality of in-game comms, registered dMw members should join the TeamSpeak channel before joining the BC2 server. The use of TS3 enhances Teamwork, Communication and Fun; Three of the essential and fundamental characteristics of DeadMen Walking (dMw).

Once there is >20 on the server (ie:10v10) ââ,¬â€œ You may be moved to separate TS3 channels

1, ok
2, ok, But if it does not apply to SDM then that is now classed as Spawn rape (Not relevent though as we don't run SDM)
3, Define too much? After talking with the other admins who are in agreement, and seeing whole rounds become inactive due to sniper fest, I would like us to discuss implementing for example a max of 4 snipers per side rule.
4, Each admin enforces this rule differently. ie one will say no armour... one will say... no chopper. etc etc We need to come to a set standard.
5, Never have I seen this enforced. And the two conflict.

Cheers.
