Vanilla to me is standard rules of play. Maps don't matter IMHO. Instant respawn is NOT part of the rules of play IMHO as well.
That's the issue. Perhaps I'm coming down to hard on a server owner who advertises Vanilla with Instant Respawn on by calling him an ass, but I can also see several owners complaining about traffic and doing the exact same thing screaming about how those servers without vanilla tags are "Doomed to fail". *sighs* I am sorry I called Dan an ass. Perhaps though you can remove the tags you don't actually use from the server? Dustin Wyatt wrote: > That's the problem with "vanilla".
