TL;DR second page.
I think the pre-round slays are a little extreme, if they keep on doing it, maybe you should just say something to them instead of slaying them instantly. And if the player is new, maybe we shouldn't be so strict. Like maybe a warning/slap if it's there 1st-2nd RDM, depending on the admins judgement (As in, if they obviously just RDM'd someone and there's no excuse, sure slay them. But if its something like blocking a doorway or following someone, maybe give em some slack. The rules are pretty long, and they might be so used to things working differently in different servers that they think it's fine to follow or forget the rule).
Personally, I think the rules should just be a solid ground for the admin to know what right and what's wrong. But, if they feel like it's unfair to go as hard on a BRAND new player as you would on a regular, they should be able to SLIGHTLY change or bend PUNISHMENTS for the rules. Is he brand new? Does he seem like someone who generally wants to play the game? Maybe go a little easy on him, slap him instead slay for some of our more complicated situation based RDM rules and such, same for the <2 kills thing. If they're just bad players and maybe wanna be strategic about their approach, then why should they be punished?
In all, I think giving admins more power instead of just being able to enforce the rules that are set in stone, will benefit the server. Will it be harder to find good admins? Definitely. But it will allow those admins that have good judgement (Nexus for one, I'm not sure how many of my previous admin buddys have resigned) to really shine and make the server a much better place.
