5. Do Not Sit in Unassigned/Spectator/AFK

When you join the server, you are expected to pick a team to play on, whether that be hunters or props, and stick with it. 

• Spectator is for staff only, please do not question staff that are in it. If they are here, it is for a reason.
  

It used to be back in the day before we had our Discord and Enhanced Prophunt, spectator was kept as a staff only team to give staff members a quieter, staff only voice channel to talk in and make it an easier time to find hackers and ghosters. Keep in mind that before enhanced PH, voice chat was team only.

In current day, voice chat is global, and we have a staff only Discord channel, so I'm not sure what the point of this rule is. Some argue that it's easier to ghost when you're in spectator, and while that's true, it's not like it's a crushing advantage to spectate in spectator as opposed to spectating.. well, normally. I don't think the marginal inconvenience to someone wanting to sit in the spectator team and ghost (considering it's easy enough to ghost as is) is worth all of the altercations and bickering the enforcement of the rules causes.

Staff have better things they could be doing than telling someone probably not even at their computer to stop doing.. uh, I'm not sure what they would be told to not do, since they're not really doing anything.. you get the point hopefully.

Anyway, my main problem with it is the bickering about it in chat. The more seemingly pointless things staff tell players to not do, the more players dislike the staff, and this rule is really hitting the mark on that "seemingly useless" part. No good.
