that should be up to server owner no??
what was that tool called when u fired a nade b4 the set time , u get capped or auto kick or something like that

Not many AA players come here and realize the work that's being done, because of this, they probably don't even know about spam protection. I say set it by default to 15 or 20 seconds. Let the server owners change it if they want but make it enabled by default.

Oooh, so the 203 is back again?

Hue hue hue hue. History laughs.

That has been included since a few version.
We call it spam protection, it separates nades and 203's, so it's up to the server owner to set what value(seconds) the rule should be.

from aa25.ini:

Code: [Select]

spamprotecttimenades=0
spamprotecttime203=0


there is no clear majority decision untill now
Two big camps
so camp 1 - spamprotecttimenades = 0
                           spamprotecttime203 = 15
so camp 2 - spamprotecttimenades = 0
                           spamprotecttime203 = 300 << 5 minuts to the whole time

I can play this map with or without..

The original developers created this map with 1 m203 in any SF M16 rifle, so it's should be back without any spam rule..

lets have a "anti camp rule" auto-kick to any 1 who sit in the same place for more than a minute and half..

I think it's important to remember than the anti-spam rule was largely introduced onto servers that were SF-modded. When everyone had 203's, spam became an issue. It was also helpful on servers that ran urban to prevent mid-alley 203's.

I think something important to remember about spam is that it's just that - blind nade firing. I realize that the general argument made against 203's in the past was either spam or scaring away new players. Without some sort of quantifiable data on the second point, I feel that it is moot - it's just conjecture at best. At most (without data), it's a thinly veiled way of whining about the first point. If you just sit back and wait for a few seconds, let the nades land, you can rush as you please. In any and all cases, spam puts the spamming team at a deficit if the nades do not land. Conserving the 203 until later is much better for actually playing the map so you can use it when you actually see an enemy, and keeps the enemy guessing as to whether you have nades left to use.

Merlin, how the spam rule works right now (if I remember correctly from ELiZ's original posts) is that it won't actually let you fire a 203 before the time is up. It will just disappear. So you can't really violate the rule as nothing happens when you do.

Antispam should not shake.
