Let me start off by saying that we are always open to suggestions on how to make game play more welcoming to a larger audience. I am not sure you suggestions meet that criteria. The main reason for a significant number of the rules on JB is for consistency.
Alright I've been playing Jailbreak since CMM and staff on a respectable amount of Jailbreak servers and owned my own for a small period of time
We have had many, many thousands of different players come onto blackwonder JB servers (as of right now, JUST on LA JB, 41,040 unique steamids in the last 18 months or so) and with that, we need consistency.
1. Sticky Traps - it’s literally the only viable way to play rebelling demoman since you’re not gonna hit 2 direct pills on a solly or scout before you’re dead and no matter how much you break your m2 key it’s not gonna suddenly ignore delay. Yes sticky traps can cause freekills so just don’t let blues do it on normal rounds and if a demo is just camping one spot then they’re delaying they can be ghosted
But you could put stickies in the armory or medic and simply be in sight of it, not delaying. You could say the same for medic, unless you crit, it'll take two shots. And the stock launcher has 4 in the clip anyway. I apologize if I am wrong, but this sounds more like you have a desire to play a specific technique and are asking for the rules to be changed to accommodate it.
2. The baiting rule - If the reds don’t care I’m in the mini game and I’m not causing a commotion I shouldn’t get punished for it
You are talking about leaving a limitless number of exceptions to the rules. This would make it nearly impossible to moderate the server.
3. I only use Hyped Bananas as an example because he has an aura of toxicity around him that no one likes, and he knows if anyone goes against him he’ll just report them. To use the report system to make the server better is to report people causing ISSUES not having fun with other players. So the only fix would be to have a !calladmin feature and have the donors do their commands and have public reports still open but for when neither the one two work. Having multiple report on the top ranked players isn’t trying to make the server better
We have roughly 45-65 new players joining LA JB each day. The only way for these players to learn the rules, is to have them be consistently applied. One person's idea of "fun" may hurt the experience for the 41,039 players who just want to follow the rules. The rules have been adjusted many times over the years, but it is to bring an easier understanding to a broader audience, not to aide in how a few players may want to manipulate the game mode.
As for top ranked players being reported. No matter how many points you have on the server, you may still have a bad day and make a poor decision. Just because a player has days or weeks of time spent on the server, that doesn't make anyone exempt from the rules. Again, this would be unfair and would make it more confusing to newer players, who are trying to learn.
