    I was playing VSH today for the first time in a long time and the admin @Fox Populi@Fox Populi informed me that being inside the water towers pictured below is not allowed. Under the rule,
    "§1b Do not use glitches/bugs/etc of any kind (e.g. empty name exploit, map bugs,...)"

    If this is really the case it doesn't make much sense, these towers feature on many VSH maps such as Top Arena, Military area and VSH Lake to name but a few and the VSH rules themselves state that a spot is only glitching if the hale can't reach it, which in the case of the water towers is not true. It's in fact trivial for the hale to reach you, the fact it helps conceal you is the only advantage of the spots.
    I think this ruling should be rethought, it's inconsistent with the current rules and is needlessly limiting a decent sniper spot.

    There's a box you can hide in inside another map, which is dumb to kick/ban people for imo

    In every case, server-specific rules may override global rules if they fall into the same category. For this case, being in that spot would actually be allowed if the hale can reach it.
    Marking as acknowledged.
