If someone on Jailbreak's last request was "Bumper Car Day" and a member of staff/someone who had access to the command was there, would it be allowed or not?

Here's my costume this year:

Your hair has a nice sweep bro

Ok, heres what I am understanding. Please tell me if I'm wrong information-wise: The one who "scammed" was being DEFENDED by this guy and HE got PERMED? First of all, someone offering Nothing for Something is NOT scamming. It's Sharking, and honestly not even a problem at all. Pretty much every TF2 player uses backpack.tf community-based prices. HOWEVER: It's not REQUIRED to follow these said prices. And the people knew what they were getting when they traded. So, not only +1 for him, but his "friend" as well.

You mean a bumper care freeday. Regular days won't work

Sorry, website went down before I got a chance to respond. To keep it simple, I agree that they both need to be removed.

I am more in favour of this being the solution to the spawn camping dispute; as opposed to, making it a ban-able offence that would drive more regulars away than it is intended to gain. Spawn camping is one of the core strategies of Team Fortress 2, granted, being a practice for Public/Valve/Competitive servers - that much is redundant. Trade/Community servers are an entirely different subject matter to consider. As others have stated, trade servers exist for wanderers to drop in and seek another individual or group of individuals to trade with in hopes of gaining profit/acquiring something of their own desire and then proceed to go about their own business. However, this ordeal says otherwise - If spawn camping is receiving this degree of notoriety within our community, then our trade servers are being utilised for something other than their intended purposes. Inevitably, players will grow tired of traditional TF2 gameplay, and will look elsewhere for new places to inhabit. Trade servers and community servers alike offer a new experience that typically do not follow said traditional gameplay, something unique/quirky, and are often the first servers to receive any form of notoriety from curious newcomers. Don't get me wrong, trade servers are intended for lobbying traders; however, said traders occupy themselves while they're lobbying and advertising for trades - this includes killing other players and other miscellaneous activities. As for the newer players, they're more than likely drawn in by their search interests while browsing for servers - often for specific reasons or random overall. Of course, we're a gaming community with multiple divisions and multiple servers - each accompanied by rules instated via a general consensus. Let me not be misunderstood, there will always be some tangent of factors to consider regarding a variety of scenarios that are worthy of addressing, yet there is also a line to be drawn between fun and something that is a nuisance within our community - that much is understandable. ========== I am still unsure as to how spawn camping came to be SERIOUS BUSINESS in the first place. We've the resources for players to carry out countermeasures to be able to free themselves from such a thing yet it seems that is too much work. The Friendly plugin and the Roll The Dice plugin - Godmode, Noclip, Lucky Sandwich, Toxic, Crits, Infinite Ammo, Timebomb, Homing Projectiles are all utilisable to aid in a scenario like this whether it be in the favour of the camped team and/or the camping team. Why was a last resort considered first; rather than, any input of reasonable solutions? It's ludicrous. At least now, the reasonable solution(s) is(are) being considered. There will always be complaining, yet only so much can be done to serve as an appeasement. We're striving to attract more players due to the loss of many of our regulars, yet we often resort to solutions that end up contributing to the problem - we want users to have fun and feel welcome, don't we? Banning people for playing the game is a bit of a rash decision. ========== +1 for that plugin Bach mentioned. ** I've been absent for a few days, so I'm a bit out of the loop - I may have missed some important information/changes. And also, I'm not degrading/attempting to degrade those seeking resolutions for the issues within our community. Just providing some food for thought. Also, it's 4 in the morning, and I'm tired as all hell.

I decided to be a vampire this year. Here's a selfie. @DrLee what are you going to be ;)

Okay so now that i got home, took a nap, i'm gonna comment. First of all, we have had this conversation before. multiple threads actually: Spawn Camping Poll. | Xeno Gamers Spawn Camping Removal Dicsussion. | Xeno Gamers Spawn Camping: Yay Or Nay? | Xeno Gamers An Upset Server | Xeno Gamers spawn camping | Xeno Gamers http://puu.sh/cwT3r/5b6cc5315e.jpg and probably more if i looked. now spawn camping is fine, the matter of the fact that this is a trade server, we have a server dedicated to 24/7 clocktown, and if you have ever played on that map, you would know that the red team has an unfair advantage because of how blu spawn exit is a small hallway that usually get them selves trapped. so, naturally if you ban spawn camping, we're gonna be banning so many people and which @Bach said "Then we'll ban them" well that's not so great seeing as how the map's spawn is so close together and that it will probably end up banning the regulars. so you're gonna be banning people in hopes that the people will repopulate. For pokemon trade, the spawns are so far apart, that the other team must build multiple buildings to actually get through with it, we are already dealing with body blockers and building blocking so it's easier to destroy them all. Any map can be spawn camped. Also these are trade servers and we have a friendly plugin which i barley see any other admin tell the players to use. As mentioned before, that we will have to end up banning multiple people for just playing the game how it should be. Also enforcing the rule is tricky as we don't know how we dictate what spawn camping is, the obvious one would be something like going heavy and being in front of their spawn, but what about the players who just hang around it such as scout, don't tell me a scout himself can keep a whole team spawn camped, same goes for sniper. The players are what bring people back, spawn camping doesn't me jack because people go around looking for a server to trade on. now the conversation i had with bach, when i joined the teamspeak room i was like why is spawn camping banned again? i'm greeted to, "it's now not allowed and if you don't like you can leave". (leave xG) we then go back and forth with little to no real reason on their side and no point that could be deflected on our end, he never contacted me about this sort of rule, so he knew that this would happen and still let it happen. after that, it just turned into "Moosty is more credible then you" which literally had nothing to do with what we were talking about, and then problems about my admin style, which again was deferring the actual arguments, insults such as, i don't give a shit about the server even though i have been here for over 2 years and have been admin in 2 divisions and one of the admins who helped populate TGH. and finally threats of demotion against me. @kbraszzz @Moosty were there. So if i get demoted, gg

Got some suggests to improve the new layout. Would be nice if... The emotions (ratings) were merged with the status bar. (ie post time, post # etc). Possibly with the checkbox, name and post time on the right and emotions on the left. The profile picture and/or name could have an toggle option for either steam or forum default. The forum tags (ie. member, donator etc) were placed bellow the name. The 'Forums' sub-menu (ie. mark read, search etc) disappeared when the client isn't hovering over it. Maybe at-least just an scroll feature. The green bar was merged with the black one. Maybe with the profile pic setup like twitter but with the mailbox, flag and credits bellow the name. The about us (at the bottom of the page in black) was moved to the far right. (makes more sense) The facebook, twiter, youtube, home, contact, help, terms etc was merged with 'about us' in the black (at page bottom) The style chooser put on the copyright bar. (remove the need for anther bar) The client status was placed bellow to name. (remove the need for the top bar) The 'XenoGamers' logo was moved to the top right corner of the screen The ad(s) were placed on the side of the page. (allows for 2 or more and reduces scrolling) p.s. I just used AdBlock on chrome to construct an more organized forum layout. Its as simple as right clicking on the form features you don't like and blocking them. If you think this looks good, it can be made even better with suggestions above.
