Hmm, i think the rules should be innovated rather than totally removed. I feel that a dead player shouldnt talk at all. The rules are particularly clear stating you shouldnt talk after death in the exception of a 2 second report. Unfortunately, with such a generally ruling, this also rules out cheering, which makes competitive games more exciting.

I will revise the rules with the community, as this was the first ever official release of a r&R on paper, it was designed for LAN tournaments.
What i think we should do is make separate rulings for online and offline play, since they have different styles of play.

Taunting opponents shouldnt be banned, but should be limited to undirected taunts. (standing up and cheering, etc etc) Although not directly related to taunting, it does affect and opponent when you do such things. Unless there is a more clear cut line about what taunting is (which is a borderline insult) it should be banned for now. (in sports, they do gestures which actually taunts their opponents indirectly, cheering loudly, parading etc etc, so thats a decision to be made by the community) Quiet games are honestly boring to watch...

So we've also got to think about spectatorship. We no longer play for ourselves, we play for the game too. (aside from wining cash that is)

I just hope teams dont get TOO tangled up on either side.

Well, you're not supposed to disrespect anyone really. So regardless, its a penalty.

Dead chat should be allowed from dead teammate to dead teammate but not typing. What the CS rules usually do is, they allow dead players to type but you can press enter until you respawn.
This should be closely enforced as if they become too loud, generally warnings can be given. Shouting especially.

i still think talking after death to a live teammate shouldnt be allowed.

Regardless of what players say, i still believe that there will be those who will abuse it and give intel to their live teammate. Even more so when they can flip through the screens. Intel is more important in CoD4 over CS (since cs has map bottlenecks in the map). If a dead teammate is allowed to firstly scroll through his teammates and also at the same time tell his live teammate what to do, i dunno.. you do the math.
