Is there a rule about using dragonfly's ultimate to intentionally crash the server?

[brett friggin favre]

from server rules:

II. Exploiting
1) The use of programs, settings, or scripts to crash or exploit the server
A) Hacking the server
B) Executing a script that can crash the server
2) The use of scripts to break normal functionality of a game or mod

my interpretation, yes.

[SCRIBBLE]

IMO it depends on obvious intention and lack of concern for server health. The following two rules will suffice to enforce some type of punishment.

II. Exploiting
1) The use of programs, settings, or scripts to crash or exploit the server

V. Glitching
3) Taking advantage of a mod
A) When used to break the normal functionality of the game

Applicable punishments:

-PUNISHMENT

I. Kicks
Should be given out to players to break the rules and disrupt the game. A verbal and admin say warring should be given out in advanced of a kick.1) If players fail to respond within a reasonable time frame they should be kicked for violation of any of the following
V

2) The following can be upgraded directly to a "short" temp ban with the discretion of the ADMIN. Remember that the player should still be warned before any ban or kick is issued.
V

III. Perma bans
This is the highest punishment a player can receive. It can only be granted by a relatively small number of Upper Level Admins. Perma bans usually require a demo but always require that the player in question, beyond a reasonable doubt, committed an offense against the server and or community. Like any ban these can be applied but require a 2/3 majority vote from ALL upper level admins. If the ban appeal is denied it can NEVER be made again.1) Violation of the following can result in perma ban without a demo. As long as there is substantial witnesses and physical log evidence

This race should not be playable if it can be exploited in such a way to crash the servers. I just watched the server crash 4 times in a row. I don't know if h4x0r is doing it on purpose or not. However, the race should be looked at.

i've seen people jump onto dragonfly to crash it when they go to a map they dont like and cant win the RTV

[Blackmage]

Don't forget we had a similar thing with Hell's Demon, and the ruling was "all admins should be keeping ppl off the race.".

Short answer, he does.

Long answer, he did it (Yesterday? Day before maybe?) on de_dolls when there wasn't enough people to rtv. It didn't crash though.

From what I understood from scribble, Maynard says that the dragonfly race is hereby OFF LIMITS until zero himself posts something about it and looks into possible problems.
Yes, for now this means that you can enforce admin commands mentionned by scribble above in order to maintain server stability if you suspect that dragonfly is indeed causing back to back crashes (not just a random one)
