Team no-block would be fine, especially at spawn. Temporary no-block would be better but I have a feeling something would go wrong and people would get stuck together, so better to have full team noblock than none.
 
Before server slots are increased the server connection needs to be improved. When 28 people are on the server rates drop to 30-60, pretty stupid for reg.

Ok so after a bunch of thought I have decided to step down from my position as SO, It's been great with you guys and all that but I don't have as much time as I do when summer was going on. I have to balance school, football practice, football games, and a job all at once and I just can't find the time to be active on here like I used to be.
 
I'd rather step down now and leave the spot with dignity than be forced out of my position and be embarrassed because of inactivity.
 
I'll admit it was a short run but I had a great time with you guys and I still love playing with you when I can, I had a blast! Later guys

To clarify:
 
1) Collisions are on because they were traditionally on in WCS1. Changing them should be as easy as adding a plugin to the server or changing a cvar.
2) Player slots are at 28 rather than 32 not based on lag (4 players doesn't do much to the server...), but because most maps simply do not have enough spawn positions.

Sometimes it blocks you from escaping that crit nade as well.

this is a horrible idea, I've contemplated the idea but what would happen is that after the 10 seconds when everyone is running to the direction they need to go and no block is turned off, people will get stuck in one another. There's been a lot of discussion in the modding community about resolving this and nothing is as simple as just simply having no block off... if your teammate is blocking you then scream at him with your mic or have some patience. Sometimes its a good thing, sometimes being blocked saves you from that crit nade coming from around the corner.

I said no for both. Think the blocking can actually be some what helpful so we don't get people into the other teams spawn area within 5 seconds.

No for both.
 
And instead of adding more slots how about war3 #2 server? Shouldn't be too hard to duplicate the current server with just the starter races??? Although we would propably need another engineer for the second server... But anyways would be interesting to see where it would develop.

Add no block for 10 seconds after spawning.
 
Server should stay at 28 players until tick rate problems get solved. It's just gross playing when the server's rates are hovering around 30-40 instead of 102 during peak hours.

Well I admit I haven't played on casual servers in months so if some of my points aren't even issues anymore then I suppose going for team no block isn't as bad as I thought.
 
True that allies still eat bullets but with no block it'll be 100% more frustrating and I guarantee you that.  Imagine you're in a great position, and about to pop a headshot around the corner but no your ally decides to walk through you right at that time.. and this will happen a lot, especially in small maps like office.  At least with no block off you know when an ally will or will not soak up your shots.
 
& bro obviously the teams need a charismatic leader to get some organized strategy going, I've been MIA without a mic (I miss yelling out commands on cbble, or going "READ TEAM CHAT" and then everyone actually listens and wins the round together) and the ghoulsquad doesn't seem to have as popular a presence anymore
 
Also as a side-note, the zombie tank may or may not have to die fast.. it depends who's tailing him, and how much protection/utility they can offer with their current race.  lol even worse what if zombie is on CT and he just stands on top of an ally defusing the bomb so the enemy team can't stop it
 
EDIT:  SPEAKING OF STANDING ON TOP.. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE LADDERS OUT OF PLAYERS WITH NO BLOCK.. CAN'T CROUCH BOOST YOUR ALLIES IF THERE'S NO BLOCK.  SUCH A THING IS MADNESS.

Totally for no-block. So annoying having longjump or even just bonus speed and being blocked by team mates v.v...

If the player cap is raised, I don't see it being more than 32 if it is to stay fun. I don't play much but my first race I am leveling is human alliance, and it is the most annoying thing ever when some duckweed runs in front of me when I use my ult

And this is why I've hoped you become an engineer when you(more than likely) get in.
 
Noblock is a no, I see far to many negative things coming from it than good.

To everyone who says no block is good.. you're taking the current system for granted.  If no block is turned on you will all be crying about teammates soaking all of your bullets by walking through you, also you bet there will be some super gay tactics in play.
 
Example, someone goes infected.. get another person to literally follow infected (like 60%+ inside him) as a shield and kill everyone.
 
Lastly the worst thing ever will happen:  grenades getting stuck inside bodies, and getting yourself and team killed and/or flashed/smoked/whatever.
 
There's more, I'm sure, but I just can't think of it right now.

ye on the no block and ye on the increase in player slots but as b-rock said has to be playable 

No for both I have my own reasons.

Definitely yea for no block. Its annoying as hell to be a fast or long jump race then get stuck behind slower teammates at spawn.

NoBlock = Yes for me
 
Increased slots looks to be more needed, but it has to be playable. Don't need late WCS1 again.
 
 
 
 
Then buff takeno

I was on when the slots were changed, we were crashing every 20 minutes or so. Things have seemed pretty smooth to me since the change. Without much insight into the servers here, com past experiences I would say we either need to look at modifying some kennel parameters to increase efficiency or go the easy route and throw more resources at the problem. Obviously there is either going to be a man hour requirement or a monetary requirement to increase the slots without a repeat of history.
I don't care either way about no block so I won't speak to it.
To winter: it wasn't a lag issue, it was the game becoming slow until it had to be restarted. Probably something to do with the tick rate but I don't know for sure

Can we get an idea of how bad the lag would be? Say we try a slot increase for one day.

NO! lol
 
I miss playing Priest and being THAT healing-->team<--respawning and, somehow balancing teams. Yeah... I miss that.

If its a pizza I'll eat it. I personally think deep dish pizzas are better. For example, Jets makes a good pizza imo.

nothing, wcs sucked
