That is an exploit. However by the time I got on and was ready to take care of it, he left. Go ahead and post a ban request with the pic as proof. If you need help making a ban request, just send me a PM either here or in steam.

Well... The other team could have a demo spamming into the spawn point from the outside and get it with some splash damage but it'd be really hard.
In other news...
Oh No! Yahtzee!!
Medic! Oh dear... J-Bizzle burns to death!!

In order for it to be destroyed in this case, someone on blu must be holding the spawn door open while a red demo attempts to take it out. But with the door closed it CANNOT be destroyed.

i'm not familiar with that spot, but if thats true, then it means its a blue teleporter held behind an area controlled by blue, and would have to have the door opened in order to be blown up. so i don't see where the issue is? its not like you're teleporting into a red controlled area that red cannot destroy the teleporter.
please enlighten me.

Well, this teleporter entrance is in BLU's spawn. Put simply, building in spawn is generally not allowed as the other team has no way to take down the building.
That said, this might be a question that an eG or above to should ask in the Q&A section. While I think we all know what the answer will be, it might not be a bad idea to get an official answer to back up our administration decisions in game. I'll let one of the Warpath regulars ask the question since I haven't played the map in weeks.

essentially, the entrance is in blue territory, and you can throw the exit anywhere. as soon as you spawn you can hit the enemy base, essentially. if someone puts an exit there, that's even worse. griefing AND map exploiting.

Come on guys, use common sense here. How many maps on our servers do we allow people to legitimately build in spawn(ie: Where you actually spawn to life)?
That teleporter is in the middle spawn point for either team, this one in blue spawn where it cant be touched by any legit means from the red team. Do we really need to ask if its a legal spot to build?

It's on Warpath2, specifically BLU's forward spawn when they control 4 points. There is a door that will only open for BLU. Thus, it is an area that RED cannot freely access, and we have a general rule against building in such areas. Unless otherwise noted, if an area cannot be reached by members of both teams, it is not a legal build spot, regardless of whether the map lets you do it or not.
The reason I originally posted is because the engineer in question built an EXIT at that forward spawn point... either he stayed in the spawn and waited or went afk and returned after we had taken the bridge. After we took the bridge and were pushing the 2nd to last control point, the blue team started pouring out from control point behind us and easily over ran our team.
I really don't care quite as much about the entrance in the spawn point, although I do believe its unfair since spies don't have the ability to disrupt porting forward if that entrance is "protected".
