There's no way to make that less stupid than it is. I'd really like to know when a server is running such stupid rule so that I avoid it in the future.
Well, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't happened..It's not hard to not shoot your base..Do it the proper way and don't get yourself in trouble. If you want it done fast, ask others to pitch in and help then.
Please, it's not because there's some griefers that we must ban any "different" behaviour. What next ? Griefers use weapons to destroy buildings, let's remove them from the game. Griefers use telenodes to join the game, telenodes are evil ! Let's ban anybody that uses one !
What about the poor newbies who are still learning the game. They'll play it and because they misfired a grenade or went a little too trigger happy with the flamethrower they'll get banned from the server and probably leave the game never to return.
I have once or twice killed a building because of a missplaced grenade before. Would I get banned for that too ? I'm hardly a griefer or a newbie although that use grenade bind is awfuly close to the use medikit one but those are urgent situation binds and that's why they are there.
Automaticaly banning abnormal play is stupid if there are some good legitimate uses for such actions. Automaticaly banning low quality play is elitist and stupid in a game that begs for more players to join. Griefers can use all form of "Negative" play to mess with a game. Like spawn as alien and feed the humans with kills, would you ban feeders too since it's obiously disruptive play ?
