It's annoying when people friendly in a non-trade server. I want to play, not have people on my team being completely useless because they'd rather conga around the map than actually shooty mc shoot shoot.

First off, thanks for hanging in and keeping your head so the rule can be discussed. A lot of people prefer to just leave some rant posts and log out, and that gets nobody nowhere.
Second, I think the rule is reasonably enforced as-is. Most people already post demo evidence of at least 30-90 seconds of people being friendly, and most admins spend at least that long spectating or warning people before banning them. And speaking strictly as a player, after that long I start to get annoyed that I don't have a contributing teammate using that slot instead.

The point is, 32 player, fast respawn Hightower isn't a "normal" round of TF2. 32 player, fast respawn, any map, isn't "normal" TF2, its Call of Fortress 2, Deathmatch with Hats Edition.
The only difference I see with Hightower is that people generally don't like to cap, they treat it like a death match map. But that's the thing, death match is all about killing the other team which makes banning friendlies even more justified.
You can argue that there is no objective to advance because players don't like to cap on hightower, but that would still be beside the point. Nearly everyone joins to shoot each other, even if they don't want to play the objective.
I personally enjoy playing friendly occasionally. However, when I do I do it in the right place (such as idle or trade). These servers are meant for a regular gameplay experience with some twists (fast respawn for example) that some people enjoy. I can see why people dislike our no friendlies rule but like Bottigger said we make our rules based on what the majority of people enjoy. For now you will have to not play friendly.on Hightower.

I quit the tomb stone builder job months ago!
A month, close enough, I ain't going back into Sourcebans just to reduce it by 9 days, especially not for this fgt.

I came here for a serious discussion about friendlies.
Then I remembered that this is Skial forums.
