Hello people,
first off, we definitely need a plugin which either makes it so that class limits work in BLU as well on Arena maps, OR have a plugin that makes it so that we cannot even be BLU in VSH in the first place. Until then I would like a bit of feedback on my policy which I have been enforcing.
Whenever we are on watchtower and the team goes to BLU, the amount of Scouts immediately skyrockets to 9-11. This is NOT acceptable. The class limits are there for a reason, and we cannot have approximately ten Scouts running about. That is no fun and it is only annoying. To Hale, but also to everybody else. Whenever we are on BLU I usually switch to a different class myself to make sure there are not too many Scouts, but then there are still ten others that are still Scout. What I do is this:
First I make sure that I am VERY clear that I do not want to have this in the first round on BLU. I put messages in the centre of the screen, clearly stating that the class limit does not work on BLU, but that I do NOT want this to be abused. I clearly state I do not want more than five Scouts, and that if there are more I will slay until we have five Scouts.
Needless to say, into the next round there are still around ten Scouts, even if I have switched myself. So then I slay Scouts until there are five left. I used to just look at the scoreboard and see who is Scout but this is a flawed system as I would only be slaying the better ones and not the ones that are too low on there for me to see. So then I started slaying those whom I saw first (I look around for Scouts and the first ones I see I slay).
Even more needless to say, people get mad. Today was worse than normal (a guy saying that I was "noob", didn't know how to do my job etc.). I told him I had been very clear on my policy and he should not complain. Then I asked what he would have done in my situation, which he failed to answer three times. Of course I should not be all too worried about these stupid people that do not know what they are saying, but it had me wonder if there is a better way to do this. What do you guys think? Is my policy too harsh? As I also told the guy today, what else should I do? Just say in chat "Oh hey, can 6 people switch off Scout please? ". That will NEVER work, this is the only method I found effective.
As I also asked Kevin, we admins need to be able to respawn people. That way, I could tell the people that I slayed to switch classes and then respawn them. That would already be a lot better. Though in the end, the best solution is to prevent these things from happening in the first place, AKA working class limits. I was just kind of wondering what you thought of how I do this.

Sorry for the long post :3
