4) Slow the hell down when driving a tank in an area with alot of friendlies in it
5) If there is more green than red under your liberator, take your finger off the trigger
6) Bake at 350 degrees till golden brown

In just 30 minutes you have a lovely golden brown lack of grief.

I have no, nor will I ever have, pity for the players who get weapons lock. There is nothing wrong with the grief system for those with a little common sense.

Nicely put, the onlything I don't like about the grief system is when I'm running, and a veh hit's me, I get grief. I know the servers keep track of who's on foot and who's in veh's, so IMO, that could be an easy fix.

Good point, why do pedestrians get grief for getting run over? Most of the time, it's the vehicle driver that needs to exercise a bit of caution.

because people can jump infront of moving vehicles just to give other people grief, and/or to damage their vehicle.

That, by far, is one of the best posts I've ever seen.

To prevent smacktards from running infront of vehicles for the purpose of giving the driver greif.

When has the grief system stopped someone from jumping in front of a tank...

I'd hope to think it stops people from running down the middle of a road, especially in infil suits

But really I think the only reason you get grief when a vehicle hits you is because you caused damage to the vehicle.

Its never physically stopped annyone no, but after a while of jumping infront of vehicles you get weapons lock. Something that should be a deterent for all but the hardcore greifers thats aiming to get banned or something.
