Spawn cading => need good way of dissuasion?

Lately I've seen an increase in spawncading - that is the placement of cades right where a zombie spawns so he or she is stuck, can not move, and this is killed rapidly with no ill effect to the humans in the area.

Like so:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
or
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently this IS bannable as glitching, as some have pointed out, but as I point out to them [and they don't seem to get] is that clearly the threat of kick, or ban is not working - seeing it go on far more than I am used to in he last few days. 

Maybe a technical solution is to make it so thee is a collision check between the endpoint of the teleport and X object, and when somebody places a cade object in the endpoint of a teleport, it is either removed all together, or moved to be just out of the spawn area?  This is really fucking annoying, the spawn cading, and makes it really hard to play when continually [ab]used.

Well I haven't experienced it myself yet but it seems a very noobish way to get kills. It doesn't give the zombies a chance at all. I think that cading zombies at spawn should be against the rules. Plus more kids are gonna come in the summer so more people might use this technique/tactic so we should just do away with it.

If it is bannable to block a tele i guess this is worse...

The solution is recording people doing this and reporting or calling a VIP.

Doesn't help when some VIPS are in on it.

EDIT: But, IMO, the technical suggestion would be cool since it would alleviate the need to bother people about it - nevermind that dealing with this, like dealing w/ spawncamping, can cause person X to be the focus of some .. hostility about the complaint being made.

Record it, report it, they get demoted and usually banned.

You're sounding like the people who defend the glitch spot in cs_assault by saying "BUT ANYONE CAN GET UP THERE SO IT'S FAIR RIGHT???"

Just make it so if the player was just spawned, he is nocollided with all props on the map for like 2 seconds.
