Spawn Bug
I did a brief search and didn't see anything on this topic, forgive me if it's been covered.
Last night I was on Gold Rush on an Australian ETPro server (3.1.0). The Allies had a few disconnects so I swapped teams to even the numbers. As soon as I joined the Allied team, I spawned, even though reinforcements weren't scheduled to deploy for 14 seconds. I ventured out, died a while later, and respawned instantly once again, this time with 8 seconds left on the reinforcement clock. It took a minute or so for me to realise I wasn't spectating people and was actually getting consistently respawned whenever I died, regardless of spawn times. By the time I tried to get a demo the map was over.
Of late, I've actually had similar things happen quite a bit. This is the first time it's happened repeatedly, but there've been quite a few times I've joined a team and spawned instantly and then followed the normal reinforcement timelines. It's happened on Gold Rush, Oasis and Radar that I can recall. If it happens again I'll make sure to get a demo and post it, but I thought I'd raise it in the meantime.

Some people play tennis, I erode the human soul.
i experienced a similar thing recently. sadly i forgot the map and the exact circumstances and/or etpro version (it was etpro 3.1.x or greater though), but my first instinct was to come post it here. then i thought maybe i was losing my mind and decided to save myself looking stupid ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
guess i should have mentioned it afterall.
so ya, it happened to me. basically, i was able to /kill and instantly respawn, just like during warmup, except it was during a round and the respawn timer held no sway over me.
very strange.
it stopped on it's own after i sat there /killing over and over for a few minutes with a puzzled look on my face trying to figure out if it was really happening.
should be looked into in case it's an exploitable/reproduceable bug

i've done it (in rtcw) when joining a team... generally (for example) on beach i'll spawn on beach even if the forward bunker is taken then look at the spawn timer and have 4 secs till spawn... so i /kill, also when switching teams (for example again) i'll go to axis and spawn in the forward bunker when allies have the flag

Speaking of spawning and bugs, does anyone else suffer when they connect to a server and are prompted to join a fireteam and there's a vote in progress? I say yes or no to the fireteam and then can't register a vote for the vote that's been called until I /kill. Voting no does nothing whatsoever, whilst voting yes puts you into any available fireteam, and subsequent yes votes result in the warning message "You are already a member of a fireteam." being spammed. If there's a cvar to not get asked for fireteams I'd gladly use that but I was under the impression it was server side only. Either way it's kind of an annoying vote, the most important votes (shuffles) take place in warmup and to be unable to vote is to the detriment of not only yourself but the server at times.

in RtCW on the map te_ufo it happens a lot when you play as allies and the flag is recapped
