It doesn't matter if you glitch to reload your weapon, take a piss, or kill mobs. Doing so will get you warned, then banned.

Heh reminds me of when my brother played WoW and raid was getting set up and one of the pallies wasn't responding, the guy had said he was tired I think and some of the people reasoned that maybe he fell asleep :P. Then a few people set their mics up higher and blammed some music into their mics :P. And as you can figure, he fell out of his chair :P.

Ok back to topic, maybe if they aren't too far away, turn mic really really high and hope the guy was using speakers and not earphones :P oh, might want to warn people who are playing to plug their ears :P. That would be funny to see and listen to.
Sometimes a crazy move is the best move.

Simple if you glitched and went afk then it's your fault for not seeing the warning since you knew glitching was against the rules.

In game this is how I'll give the 1 warning,

First I'll give a warning in general chat. Secondly I'll follow that up with a warning in team chat. Thirdly I will follow that up with a voice chat warning. Then I will log into admin and give a warning in the big white letters in the middle of the screen.

Next time I'm just banning the person.

I will wait until the current wave ends (or the following if the current is just about done) to give the glitcher time to get back into the map.

Now sometimes you may get lucky and I'll forget that I gave you the one warning (especially if it's a couple days later you glitch again) and you'll not get banned.

Case in point, you don't give them time to get back and just ban them for taking. Great job really...

You know the rules and you know the consequences of breaking them. Being afk is no excuse to glitch and you know it.

I posted that I will give them time. Either til the end of the current wave, or the next one. Depends on how close the finishing the wave we are. That's more than enough time to allow people to break the server rules.

So if I find you glitching I will warn you as mentioned before. End of next wave you will be kicked for glitching if you don't get back in the map. Next time I catch you (and remember whether or not I gave you a warning already) I will ban you for violating server rules.

One thing I noticed -

If you are trying to take a screenshot of some1 glitching, and you too are in a "glitched" area, all you will get a screenshot of is a black screen.

I found this out because I was taking screenshots of someone who whined about glitching, then in turn glitched themselves - they were standing on a flat area above the map on LimeArena - and I had unknowingly entered a glitched area of that map in order to get a better vantage point for my screenshots - yet when I went to send them to Zombie I saw that they were all black screens.

Regardless, it should be noted that this map has a MASSIVE glitching area above the map, covering almost the entire map, that you can shoot through but the mobs cannot. Perhaps this map should be pulled and those areas re-mapped?
I will consistently sacrifice political correctness for an attempt at humor. If ya can't deal, then ya need ta stop being ign'ant.

Sir, what kind of vid card you running??.........I know that on my 8800 GTX I get that and when I investigated, it seems to be a driver issue and UT04.
