Repeated glitching on Ballx. Will be lifted on 05.12.2011

Havent recieved any warning despite alleged claim of 'repeated'?

What gives

[Azarael]

What kind of glitch was used? Admins may or may not warn you if you're glitching - the more obvious it is to the player that they're somehow cheating, the less likely it is that an admin will bother to warn someone who knows exactly what they're doing.

Went through a mesh to the next objective /shrug

Used the vehicle exit glitch (probably) to appear on the other side of the cave destroyable, then camped at the outpost hold objective.
I have been noted that you were doing this before, but since there was no direct evidance I didnt take action.

[Meep]

Would of been nice to have some kind of warning though.

#10 Don't glitch, it's ruining the game and is annoying everybody

In the server rules.
It doesnt hurt to read and remind yourself that something like this exists from time to time.

[Azarael]

Agreed with this temp ban. It's obvious to anyone that that's using an exploit to bypass the defense.

Finally: If you are asked by an administrator to cease any activity, you must do so immediately or face being kicked or banned from the server!

My point is, if you'd simply said don't do that (in the 'first' instance), then I wouldn't of. Seems a bit harsh to just throw a ban without any heads up.

Nobody goes out of their way to read rules for a server before they begin playing, and it is naive to think they do.

[Azarael]

We don't expect players to come to the forums to read the rules, but the rules are also available by pressing the F12 key and I believe that fact is repeatedly advertised.

Additionally, this is common sense. You know when you do something like this that it's cheating. Sadly, thanks to the bad example set by Jolt Assault 2 and many other servers which ran unfixed maps and were either devoid of admins or permissive of glitching, many players seem to have embraced the mentality of cheating before someone else does. For the most part, we don't have that problem here.

I wont lie, this is how it was and it was considered commonplace.

I just feel it is a bit harsh to flat out ban for it without any further word on it. If I scan through the bans section now, I see alot of "ignored the warnings" etc. It would have been nice to have one.
