Flashbang restricted!

when i joined the server everyone was using flashbangs. 30 people flashing :shock:
it very much took away the fun. people stood against a wall for as much as 30 seconds waiting to see again.
it is in my best judgement to restrict the flashes.
what are your thoughts on this? is this the right decision?

I swear there was a teamflash mod somewhere for 1.6. That would reduce the number of griefers. Also, maybe there is a mod to reduce the amount of flashes maximum per team?

That plugin seems like it would help out. :)

That sounds like the best idea Sammy getting rid of the flashes would be bad but removing the team flashes would be great. I've had to tell people not to team flash and to be aware of their team dozens of times in the past few days since inter has been full most of the time and have also noticed that a team flash can also cause arguments and trash talking.

Also this would help against the kids trying to act funny that flash their team on purpose.

Restrict away,It does get ridiculous,especially in the intermediate server where the players are supposed to have some skills

Whenever I'm in game, I usually tell others to not team flash as that takes away the fun of others. Flashing the opponent on the other hand, is fair as they should be flashing then rushing at them. I suggest Lone's suggestion because a plugin can prevent teamflashing and that will make the game better.

Took it away definitely helps the fact from team flashing

But we might also hear something like... " oh, isn't this even an intermediate server? why the flashbang are restricted!" I meant while I was playing at beginner, and I figured someone who is oped for beginner server, I will suggest them to play at intermediate, and sometimes, they will ask "is flashbang allowed in there?"

anyways, it would be great if the plug in for preventing teamflash works.
:D

Good stuff, now I only need to worry about the 30 flashes from the other team :)
Also I think it helps if players no longer drop flashes when dead, only nades.
