Title. I don't think I need to explain further the context & background of this situation so basically a Yes/No, should it be bannable if it's dropped out of bounds purposefully or accidentally. The major consensus after 48 hours will determine the resolution.

It should not,although it can be a bit annoying to deal with for some other players,if the person has it then it's their right to do as they wish.

The question is does this also encompass people intentionally drop it in areas where the rest of red can't get it (whether that's due to a lack of respawn, a timer on a coin, or intentionally dropping it behind the motivator etc) because while there may be an argument to be made that dropping it is your choice but dropping it in an area where red can't get it deprives other reds of the chance to do so and should still be a pretty cut and dry case of griefing. And what I'm asking will these two different actions be distinguished in being ban worthy or not, for example in this report the person in question was intentionally going out of their way to grief by blinding red during the minigame by dropping nuke during it multiple times, would that same person still be banned under the new rules?
 
no, just make the coin respawn quicker or instantly after its dropped
That could be done with a stripper configs if that was something the mods wanted to do if this change doesn't cover griefing to help alleviate some of the damage.
 
Are people actually creating a poll for this? this is such a shit reason to be banned.

Imagine we lose many players, notable or not because they lost a goofy ass coin bro, find better possible bannable offenses, for fucks sake man :/

sometimes i wonder if thats why we're losing players..

I might keep a neutral perspective

I do think its an asshole move to troll players and grief the coin to prevent people from respawning(Unless if its a good reason like if you want to 1v1 the hale on a minigame or play solo). However, I don't know why would they ban it if they allow the PlayStation cards to get shredded because of "map intentional" which is the same thing and 6 month BAN for dropping a coin is VERY BRUTAL!(Unless if the person done it multiple times and does not learn their lesson then that's excused)



However, i do not blame the players or skial for this issue! This is nothing but Death Experiments(a bigoted liar shit ass playtesting server) fault. They were the ones getting annoyed when people resorted to auto respawning or button toggles, so they thought a intel respawn would be a VERY SMART DESICSION to make respawning people more "interesting". Well, look what we got now thanks to them. A Huge Issue in the DR Community!



If mappers don't like auto respawing, then DO WHAT BITS HAD DONE!

I agree with Blood, I'm going have to vote No. It should be not a griefable offense, therefore everyone has right to do so whatever they wish if they get a respawn coin. However, there is a good 50/50 chance that someone wants to respawn everyone, or not. Every respawn coins should have a kind of countdown, that usually respawns after the time has passed if no one got it. Someone can come back, and get it back. I do not see a problem with this.

Furthermore, what blood said is indeed right as there isn't a better alternative to pressing a button to respawn everyone. Sure, It's boring and unoriginal but having a respawn coin causes more issues aswell too.

If people don't like someone dropping respawn coin, well then I may aswell fake freerun and ruin everyone. Same thing

In the end I'm going have to vote No and everyone should advise new mappers, to not implement respawn coins.
 
- Cream Tea constant moan.

You're losing players because there's other things to do besides play Skial team fortress 2 custom modes.......
Please stay away from Deathrun. You have nothing to do with this, plus your constant trolling isn't helping us either. You don't play Deathrun also.
