reasons:
  • a taunt limit is not stopping friendlying
  • the players get to choose (i believe that most players playing on skial aren't registered on this forum)

It doesn't stop friendlying entirely, but from what I've seen on Skial as well as other servers that do similar things, it certainly helps cut back on the amount of friendlying.

And you really have no reason to conga around on a normal server for more than 28 seconds. If you're congaing around for longer than 28 seconds you're entering friendlying territory.

-1 if you're not playing and just taunting, you're hogging a player slot, while this plug-in does not stop friendlying, it does discourage friendlies to not play on our servers. While we do welcome all players, if you're hogging a play slot, we've no choice but to handle you. This is the best way to do it when no actual staff member is in the server at the time.

i'm not always taunting because it gets boring

but 28secs is too short
28 seconds is roughly the time it takes to build an ubercharge for kritzkrieg or quick-fix if charging at max rate. Something that can actually help the team as opposed to just taunting and not helping your team. I'm going to say that unless you can get several vouches, this isn't going through. We've gotten little complaints about said plug-in and if it keeps rulebreakers from being rulebreakers, there's absolutely no reason to remove it.

ok let me sum it up
THIS is team fortress 2, a game with a BARELY existing competitive scene
and YOU are providing PUBLIC servers where are no major achievments to earn
in short: why so serious?

i don't see what the comp scene has to do with this

competitive ≠ casual competitive (skial pubs)


edit: skial servers are commonly endorsed by people that like to actually play the game just because friendlies get banned, otherwise shit gets to the point where it's just sandvich parties and taunt orgies

We've got two trade servers and an idle server where you can taunt for the entirety of your life if you want to.

Just go over there, -1

Just a few opinions is not enough to change this. It has been cutting down the amount of friendlies on the server.

Go to trade or idle if you want to taunt for more than 30sec that badly.

ok
so i see everyone on this forum is thinking about how to help his team the most
so why don't you remove taunts entirely?

What's the point of you going onto 2Fort or Dustbowl if you're just going to taunt the entire time? There's servers for that.

Because we don't mind of people do the occasional hi-five, dosido, or a taunt after killing someone. We just don't want people doing more taunting than playing the objective on regular servers.

edit: is anybody who voted no even playing on the 2fort EU server?

Talking to people on Steam chat really isn't going to change anything. If majority of people on the forums votes against it, it's not going to change. And it doesn't matter what server it is. The rules are still the same. There's no point in being on that server if you're just going to friendly the entire time. There are servers for that.

Nice to see skial caring for their players? LOL this is to help reduce the amount of friendlies. And it's working, why the fuck would we remove it? Go away.
