Killing the enemy in their own spawn (the place(s) on the map where the players start) is NOT allowed and is considered as Spawnkilling (SK), this includes; walking into enemy spawn, shooting from a distance into enemy spawn. This rule applies on ALL weapons!

Spawnkilling is a serious offence and will most likely result in a warn possibly followed by a kick, temporary ban or permanent ban (depending on the situation).

[...]

Exceptions:
The SK rule does not apply to capturable spawns, such as flags or commandposts. As long as you are trying to (re)capture the spawn, only SK with light weapons (mp40, thomson, knife, handgun, poison needle, grenades) is allowed!

nope it aint sk. the map was created to defend the hill through that gaps in the (west-)bunker. otherwise the axis were spawncamping as well

so this aint sk if youre trying to hold them down to cover an engineer that constructs an assault ramp.

but it aint fair if you lay somewhere with a granade launcher and simply throw nades inside in order to whore frags.

yeah thats right. DEFENDING THROUGH THAT GAPS

but like sammos wrote when you lay ON THE GUN. then you can direct shoot at the flag and kill the fresh respawned players (that are no players that defend through the gaps) and i think that is SK.

To illustrate this with a little picture;



Green Area:
- No Spawn
- Sniping (as allies) from the outside/distance is allowed

Red Area:
- Capturable Spawn
- SK only allowed when you are actually trying to capture the spawn ( + only light weapons allowed > see Rulebook)


About lying on the gun; read what Zielobjekt wrote. Its hard to resist the temptation shooting axis players around the flag, and is considered SK

Shooting from a distance (sniper rifle, rifle nade) into a capturable spawn is NOT / NEVER allowed since you are not trying to actually capture the flag (but I agree its a bit of a 'grey area', its hard to see and determine when admins are playing themselves)
