Ban Box Trot from VSH

+1

what we really need is a plugin to sm_beacon any taunting player (and clearing said beacon when the taunt ends), thus alerting Hale to an easy kill

or slowly draining the health of players using a continuous taunt

No please
Players already get a huge downside from taunting why give it something like a beacon.
And continuous taunts aren't mostly used for friendlying but for the mini-crits.
The only taunt that should be banned is the boxtrot as it disallows any attacks and makes the user less active
(so +1)

the Box Trot is a continuous taunt, as is the Rancho Relaxo, Conga, and Russian dance.

and all item-taunts make the user unable to attack, not just the Box Trot

Ik but the others are mostly used for the mini-crits (thus being something useful), and you said drain the health of players that are using those taunts
 
I'm not saying I'm all against this suggestion, but I'm definitely not all for it. People get banned for taunting for an extended period of time, why do we have to ban the item as a whole? If we did it for VSH, it would only make sense to do it for all Skial servers, right? Same with the conga, russian dance, rancho, high-five, headbutt, any continuous taunt. Seems like a bad idea to me, just follow regular procedures. If there's a friendly on a server without an admin, make a report. If there's an admin on "Hey guys, don't friendly for too long, it's not helping your team and you may be banned for it" then just tell them when to start playing, they ignore you, ban them, I don't see why we have to ban an item.

I'm going to have to -1

-1. People shouldn't have restrictions on things they bought if used properly, like at the end of round or after a kill.
 
Disabling taunts won't stop friendlying. Discourage a little bit of it maybe, but it certainly won't stop it. So far on VSH I've only personally ran across two people friendlying with the new box taunt. The actions of the few shouldn't completely ruin it for everyone else who use their taunts within the confines of the rules.

Like fooling Hale, even though it rarely happens, I've seen box trot spies use the taunt to get away from Hale by hiding with it. Which is hilarious!

This item is broken for any map. Imagine a new player unfamiliar with a maps layout and general gameplay...as far as they're concerned the box is just part of the map. It has a play advantage which is something a cosmetic/taunt should never have. It's the closest to a weapon a taunt has been, and needs to be blocked on all servers.

If they are last, don't the crits kinda make it obvious that they are there? Last I played VSH was when the Box Trot first came out so I don't remember. :I

I don't think the box gets the crit-glow but it would be awesome if it did

If you get rid of one continuous taunt you have to get rid of them all, and it has been made quite clear in the past that Skial will not do that.

If you're talking about vsh then
There are many things that give players an unfair advantage like the dark models (which makes it harder for others to see the player) or continuous taunts (which give players minicrits at the time needed)
If not then
Many others do know the map and the spy will most likely be terminated by the those since the box barely looks like a regular box

That would just turn VSH into Hide and Seek.

only if the entire arena was full of boxes. it's more likely that just a small room would have less than 10 boxes in a pile and having solid brushes in them to prevent players, especially non-spies, from hiding in them (since the model itself has no collision)
