Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This is honestly an obvious answer in my opinion to whenever someone asks "Is this base camping?" because truly the answer to that question is always "Well the person is purposely camping in an area to attack people who have only recently left base, sooo..." - and this rule change would simply make that a defined reality instead of just a possible issue.
The following is the spawn camping rule:
1.18 Spawn Camping - You may not kill someone directly outside their spawn or base, or within their compound, unless they interact with you in combat or roleplay. If you are actively raiding, you may only kill someone directly outside their compound or base, and not their spawn (unless attacked first).
This suggestion is to add an addition to this rule that also classifies spawn camping as
Now this wording probably is not perfect, so I would find it completely reasonable to have it changed but the general gist of it is to reduce the amount of times people are able to purposely watch someones spawn / exit to someones base to purposely target them when they leave - as they know for sure that is one of the only exits for them."Purposely waiting outside of a persons spawn or base to target (kill, attack, or kidnap) them a short time after they leave. Unless actively entering the base during a raid"

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Less "Is this really base camping?" questions / ideas, as purposely doing the things that are often titled that would be added to the rule
- More interesting freedom when leaving base (mostly for Foundation/GOC, as CIs base is limited when leaving a bit) as people aren't instantly called out and targeted when walking 3 meters (9.84252 feet) away from base,
- People (CI mostly) will have less of a hold on enemy bases on surface (is perhaps a negative for the people trying to hold),
- People will not be instantly kidnapped outside their spawns because they "entered RP outside" as people will no longer be able to purposely wait their to kill / kidnap them.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- People who do this will enjoy the server a tiny bit less,
- May be a fairly large rule change (for UK at least), people camp around bases a fair bit,
- Sniping people from inside base can be fun, and this would reduce that.
