Specify Friendly's as being against the rules

[Pat]

Seems as though its not clear enough to some people its not like it would be too hard to edit the server rules post to include "being a friendly" as an example under greifing, I'm aware the rules already say refusing to help advance your teams position as being against the rules but it couldn't hurt to be more clear IMO.

Not a bad idea, but the more we specify, the more people who appeal for other issues will say "it's not specified in the rules".

(Off topic, why such a huge sig? ö)

+derp The amount of appeals we get because of it not being specified is getting annoying. This will keep idiots from argueing that it isn't in the rules.

It's already been brought up, many, many times.

From the rules and I quote:
Server Rules

Harming your team for an extended period of time.
ex. blocking sniper views, teleporter traps, refusing to help advance your teams position

Nothing else need be said, why not list every single reason? Because trolls and idiots will use every single word they can to twist the rules and extort them, just for the sake of being batshit stupid. Using examples of Harming, which can be labeled as Griefing, is just that, some examples. No need to add every single one.

I like how I can play on Skial's servers without sensible bullshit. Let's keep it that way.

But it's the internet... people are destined to be fucking stupid.

It's already specified. People will always claim they "didn't know" about a rule when they get banned. They will always lie and say "my brother did it" or "I didn't do it." They will always say they weren't warned when they were.

The rules are fine. We don't need a new "specify this" or "specify that" suggestion every time there is an appeal.

Just kill them if they're friendly. Just because they say " i am friendly sandvich heavy pls dont hurt me XDDDDDD" doesn't mean you can't kill them.

That's not the point. They take up a spot in the team, and they never come alone, so that's minimum 2 people less in your team which creates an inbalance.

Friendly Heavies, Spycrabs, they both fall under the category of griefing. What they're doing is worthy of at least a warning, and further action if needed.
