Dead Cheating

Sword_of_Light, on 25 March 2011 - 02:35 AM, said: Why is it acceptable in this game for the dead to inform you where the enemy is? I told a dead player to stop mapspamming - he was spec'ing another player, and posting warnings - warnings which were out of my radio range. How is this not cheating? Why is this not cheating - its not in the rules of conduct. I cant do this in other fps games - I cant watch enemy players in CounterStike and tell my team mates where the opposing team is. And frankly, I wish there were a way to shut the dead up even when they're not cheating. Having my map going boink boink boink every three seconds is distracting - having the dead whine about how I'm not playing the game they would is distracting. Especially since, being dead, they aren't in a very good position to back seat drive. Someone calling me a noob has little credibility when they do it atop the smoldering ruin of their tank.
Since I am a noob, I apparently cant contact the devs directly - say, hey, could you disable team chat for the dead, this is really killing this whole game for me. The reason I don't play CounterStrike online is because of the dreadful conduct of other players - I'm pleased theres more civility here than in other online games - but I can see this as the thing that gets me to stop playing this game.
