Summary
SCP: Secret Laboratory servers have multiple configuration settings that fine-tune how players can interact. Settings like spawn protection allow those who just spawned a brief invulnerability window so that other players can't wait and ambush various team spawns, such as Chaos Insurgents or MTF. This allows for a clean way to make matches more interesting without having to take drastic actions on troublesome players by Kicking or Banning them.
