Out of curiosity, what's the admins turn on campers?
It's possible to @report someone for "massive camping".
What's concidered "massive camping"?

On the server I play, there's quite the amount of people (same people every time), camping every round at the same spot. I find it aggrivating and it quite ruins the game for many people. I have reported them several times, but nothing happens :(

What's OK to do and what's not?

Why does camping ruin the game? You're still able to kill the camper.

Many times not, no, since they're safe in base or behind things that makes it impossible to reach them.
If a played keeps his entire game at the same location, is that really something that's allowed?

Camping is not generally forbidden and everyone thinks different about when camping begins. It also depends if the player is playing in the T or CT team. What it makes harder for the admins is that most of the complains about camping are wrong.

If you really think a player is extremely camping than you can report him :)

I can give you two names right now of people who never leave their bases, always playing scout and always behind protective boxes which makes them impossible to kill.
One is a russian player with a blue photo of a shark, have no idea how to spell his name since it's in russian letters. The other one is called "Almotor".
I have reported these two continuately during the games, but nothing happens :(

Unfortunately we cannot do anything out of the forum, it is needed that you report the player while ingame :)

Then there was no admin online or the player was not classified as camper :)

I also reported massive campers several times on the server i mostly play. Nothing happens. Even when i know there is a admin present.

Isn't there some option, server side, that people that stay too long in some area are warned or kicked? I think there is.

Not really, because players could just leave this area and then come back. Also the system does not know why a person stays in a specific area so cannot distinguish between legitime and illegitime cases.

In fact, camping was never really forbidden, also, because the players opinions about that differ strongly. If you think a player shows unfair behaviour you should use the @voteban command because that is usually not an issue admins have to handle.

I think there is such an option. I ran a server in the early days and i could activate it.
I understand you don't want to ban paying customers, but other paying customers are irritated on the other side.

Then remove the option to report massive camping and just allowe it. So the discussion can be stopped.
Although I really hate it too when people stay shooting on the same spot for hours sometimes. It really does irritate and ruin the game for most people.

That is independent if players are premium players or not :)

We will do so, so players are referred to the @voteban command.
