So, there's a part of the map that involves passing three boxes that swing back and forth. Ever since the map came out, some players have gone as a Demo and put stickies on the boxes or one the bridge that the boxes pass over and have made them explode, causing the boxes to swing out of control. I've heard that they've been fixed but some people still are able to cause the boxes to swing out of control. The regulars and I have decided that anyone who messes with the boxes will get vote banned for it immediately but it doesn't always pass and they just keep doing the same thing. So, is there a way to keep the boxes from swinging out of control? That would really help because sometimes, the boxes kill other players who aren't even on the bridge.

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
Why not limit it to only people can be one class, and that class has to use the default melee weapon. That way no one has any benefits over Hale, or other players.
 
Well, it is technically against the rules so you can report those that does it. If they swing out of control because of a player, people cannot progress further, right? Then somebody harmed the entire team to advance for the entire round.

I would say that if someone does this it should be correct to report them for:

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

It's probably better in the long run to report the players, rather than voteban them (they'll just be back after 30 minutes and continue when the map is on again).

No.

Disabling the sticky launcher / projectiles that cause splash damage is far better.
 
How about only melee? Also on some other maps, spies have dead ringers and they use that to get out of the map and delay the game.

Again not needed. Spies and their knives have been fixed to keep from doing stuff like that.
 
I think it should be melee only or disable some weapons like the Dead Ringer for spies so that they can't mess with Death Run at all.

The answer is quite simple actually, just make the func_physbox non solid and disable collisions on the prop_dynamic.
No more stickies on the boxes.

Also, func_physbox on the bulldozer isn't non solid, stickies can stop the dozer from moving on.
 
If you're referring to the correct map that i'm thinking of I personally think its hilarious when the boxes go all wild like that.

It's not funny because it can kill other players and it's considered griefing. It's also keeping the red team from advancing.

As hale. But harming your own team as red to another red...

Doomer, griefing is not allowed. Someone was doing so several days ago in front of an admin that was there for another reason so he got banned. Delaying the round is against the rules aswell, that was the reason the admin was there, to ban 5 engineers that managed to get behind the "deathwall"/"blue spy" and delayed the round with doing not but running around in spawn.. just get a record/pictures and report it.. all you can do, they'll learn their lesson hopefully
 
If we're going melee-only, would it be possible to stop people from using the frying pan? Or maybe making it so that they explode if they swing the pan?
 
I don't know. I think the eureka effect or whatever the name of that engi weapon is that teleports you back to spawn, should be blocked. That's how people easily can grief.
