punishment for zombie quitters?

[Vicious]

It tends to ruin the fun and overall point when people rejoin the server just because they are the first zombie. I really havent seen any punishments or even warnings being handed out for this. Just wonderin if we can do something about this to keep people from having to find entertainment in sabotaging their teamates in place of the actual game.

It's a bannable offense.

Evading zombie by retry is bannable, and we do enforce it. Most of the time they do it and catch us off-guard. Ty for the heads-up we will keep more of a look out for zombie evaders.

Its difficult to verify who the culprit is. Console doesnt display every occurance of individuals disconnecting/reconnecting. I usually try to check to scoreboard when a zombie spawns to identify the player, but sometimes I forget.

I wish that Zombie Mod had an autoban feature (similiar to no-suicide) to discourage this activity.

A 30 minute ban is standard for rejoining as zombie.

I think it should be longer than that...it's not so much the fact that it ruins a round that's the issue, but the fact that sometimes when you rejoin it resets the map timer.

nah, i think 30 mins is reasonable b/c there are ppl with bad connections and if we were to overlook a zombie timeout as a retry then that person would get banned for x amount of time for having a bad connection.

If they are a repeat offender which i doubt they would ban em for 3 days, because 1 week seems a bit harsh for retry lol ^.^

in the new zombiemod 2.0 S this is fixed.
I run it aswell.
When 1 zomb as first quits it automatically chooses another person as zombie.
Or something else so it dont get bugged as well.

This was to stop those noobs from quitting all the time.

maby the admins should put a new zombiemod version on ;)

If they time out, it'll say X timed out, if they disconnect then it says Disconnect by user.

i know but on a few occasions, admins wont look at the text on the screen to see a timeout, you'd be surprised on how many occasions i've seen a person timeout and the majority of times the ppl on the server would say "HE RETRIED BAN HIM!"
