You both knew exactly what you were doing. While peter's position was visibly evident to other zombies, the method / secret used to access his position was not readily known. You both participated in giving away that secret while you were spectating and in turn exposed peter to zombification. In reference to the previous round, peter revealing your secret happened while he was alive and in-game as a zombie which is entirely different than doing so through spectate. You’ve both been around long enough to know the nature of the rules and abide them. All that being said, I have no authority here, just adding my 2 cents.

That's all fine and well, but the rules for ghosting say nothing about giving away a map secret that could compromise a living human. How far would you take this reasoning anyway? What if, as a spectator, I told some noob zombies to press E to pull/push a poorly set-up cade instead of just stabbing it like every noob does? Would that be "ghosting" too because you'd be exposing the human inside that cade to being tagged when they otherwise might have been safe? How about the trick to tagging a human inside a green cabinet on Desert Fortress? That's a "secret" too in a way. If giving away map secrets, hints, or whatever else as a spectator or dead human is going to be treated as ghosting on this server now, then the rules should be updated and players should be made aware.

When this all went down, by the way, there was at least one admin (Evil, I think) on who did not say or do anything in response. Peter didn't claim that what rofl and I did was ghosting at the time either.
