New kind of "Spawn camping"...
Note that this is not a report per se, since I couldn't prove this with pictures, but if you must know, the player caught doing this was Evil_Snowman. It is just sometyhing for admin to watch out for, as this should not be allowed on ANY server.
OK, I was playing on Strike at Karkand, and about halfway through the map, We take back Hotel, so I spawn there. I die almost instantly to a claymore. I spawn again, same thing, and I see several other players doing this.
It took me a moment to realise what was happening; a player had put several claymores on spawn points. This is worse than any form of spawn camping, and in fact is blatant stat padding, and even on servers that allow spawn camping this should get you kicked/banned. There is literally no way to fight this, unlike a jet or APC attacking your spawn, you cannot blow it up or remove it. The second you move, you die.
This strikes me as fallign DIRECTLY under stat padding(Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.). You are essentially abusing the fact that claymores are unstoppable.
I highly suggest that any admin seeing this kind of activity kick or ban on sight; you do not really even need a warning, as it should be obvious that this behavior is not acceptable.
