For what it's worth, I hate how your servers score kills/points.
One time, I was a sniper, shot a sniper, got three points. Shot his friend, who was also a sniper and got three points.
While I was busy shooting Sniper #2, sniper #1 respawned and was able to target me before I could retarget him,
and he shot me and got like 10 points. I find the way the scoring is done seems unbalanced. We may be shooting
a lower tiered contestant, so we get low scores, like 2 pts, but losing 10+ (upto 30 once omg!) just seems a bit
unbalanced.
Anyway, my two cents.

The more points you have, the more they get awarded for killing you. {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name
Jessica343: so I can get heals
{pDs} Lead Salad: oh damn good idea
{pDs} Lead Salad has changed their name to {pDs} Lead Salad (is a girl)

Understood. Just seems unbalanced. Perhaps twice the amount they would normally get, or... SOMETHING!
Instead of 2, they get 4. Instead of 3, they get 6. Just not 30 or 32. That's just waaaaay too much.
Or a couple extra points. Like 1 per rank above you? Yeah that would rock. The way it is now, just doesn't
seem right. I was play a bit ago, and had just started. Spawned, walked out the door, and got killed by a soldier
camping the spawn and lost 23 points. Now, I don't mind dying, but...
Well, figure I just started and already have to get like 12 kills to make up for just logging on!
And have to do it without dying, or I lose more points. /bog

I don't like how the scoring works either, but I learned to live with it on the other servers. It makes it really hard to keep your points high because you reach a point where you need to kill like 10 people before you die or you will be losing points. In my opininon it encourages camping for the high ranking people if they don't want to lose points.
But on the flip side, this community hosts fun servers that are noob friendly. This scoring system is definetely a noob friendly system. If we were a top competitive clan and all we cared about was winning we would probably have a different scoring system, but thats not the case. We are about having fun, and once you get over the whole "i'm losing points god damn it" you will start enjoying the game a bit more.
tis my 2 cents.

I was hoping this wouldn't become an issue. As llenta said, it's a noob friendly set of servers with noob friendly ranking. I also had hoped that people wouldn't focus too much on their ranks. I can disable the point stealing, but I find it's not as fun. I could also just disable in-game reporting so you don't know what happened unless you check the stats page. I can't fix the fact that lower point players take more from you. It's part of the challenge of being on top. I'm sorry you're not enjoying that aspect of the servers and I hope I can come up with a solution that works for you.

First, I love the servers. Good group of people here.
Second, a lot of people that come here are not newbies, but good players that simply haven't been here before.
and lastly, doing away with the negative hit totally would not be good. It's just that it seems a bit too high.
As I suggested, a slightly less painful penalty would rock. Such as twice normal points, or point loss of one (or two. eek) for each level difference between ranks.

Tha Sharp has Spooken............. I said that line on day 1 release, its a good one and is very true ! ! Its not MEFortress.....
I too enjoy the servers and the people and the community, its intact, its enjoyable and there are regulars, thats awesome.
As for the point system, I agree is is more HIGHLY competitive with the point system, the thing that I hate about it is the 20-30 pt loss to someone WHO SUCKS and got LUCKY!!!! Just kidding, just kidding.
But none the less, I enjoy the competitive nature of the system and respect it - Hell I just end up dominating their the sewers on the opposite side and try to get much more kills than deaths. So beware when Whoopsie is near 'cuz
YOUR SEWERS ARE BELONG TO WHOOPSIE ! ! ! !

Love don sharp
50 pts for a cap = T and A for ME Fortress 2 (that creates "team fortress 2" as well as describing it as the tits and ass of the stats sys (for the denser gamers))
