7.2 RCON usage
Leaders should avoid using RCON, most commands needed are issued by TF2Center, and unruly players may be removed via !rep. RCON may be used only for the following:
-
changelevel: to set the map back to the one the lobby was started on.
-
sv_password: to set the password back to the lobby password (note: you may use the re-initialise lobby button on the page to expedite this).
You may use rcon kicked/banned only if accompanied by a ban request on the forums. Misuse of this may be met with a ban.
PS: on an non-offclassing lobby, if a player that is offclassing is already reported by the auto-monitor, if the player refuses to change back to the class and/or you are not able to manually report him, the leader can rcon kick the player.
vinti will be getting a warning regarding the rcon usage. however, in the future, refrain from offclassing unless it's to defend/push last if offclassing is disabled. you can offclass as much as you want on offclassing enabled lobbies. if you intend to constantly offclass, don't join non-offclassing lobbies, that way this kind of situation won't reoccur.
