For me, the old rules were perfect. A little strict on the boundries but it kept people from lonewolfing or hunting.

From my experience on the WaW server, there are a few ways to take care of the lonewolfers. First and foremost, peer pressure works wonders. When you see a member of your team on defense, moving too far forward without a called enemy contact or orders from the team leader, tell them to come back. Let them know that they are more valuable to the team alive and defending the objective. From what I have seen, this works most of the time with regular players on the server. This can be expanded upon by letting the lonewolfer know that they are the primary reason your team lost the round (if you team indeed lost the round). Of course, when using this tactic, be sure to be polite and courteous.

Another non-admin way of handling the lonewolfer is to ask them to stick with you (if you aren't a lonewolfer yourself) to see how the defenders should play, good spots to set up, and where to expect the enemy to come from. Tactics are contagious!

The next way to handle the situation requires an admin to issue a warning to the offending player. This generally lets the lonewolfer know they are doing something wrong and they will shape up.

If that doesn't work, generally, a kick without time is in order to grab the offenders attention. A reason of "Tactical Flanking is acceptable, your lonewolfing is not. Please visit TacticalGamer.com for rules." or something similar.

If they come back and continue lonewolfing, a timeout is now warranted. Several hours to a day timeout lets them know we are serious. The offending player usually gets the picture at this point and straightens up or doesn't come back.

If they still don't get it, send them on their way with a permaban.
