good idea but one flaw is the rdm-newbies
aka the people that join and just rdm without listening to anyone, there should be more severe jail time for under 5 hours rdming

New players start with fewer weapons? could be a work around. If they don't respond they can be jailed for longer. So if the system detects they are constantly going to jail for killing players the time goes back to normal, however a popup would explain it to them.

That's a good idea

Will require a lot of coding

Hmmm, starting weapons is a value most likely that can be changed within seconds.
With the other bit, I'm pretty sure MyBack is very capable of coding such a thing, we're just going to have to wait and see for his response. :]

More optimization (and game balance) and less new components = September and October, the least enjoyable months on the server. People like Turtle and Epic get bored and quit when there's no new shit. There needs to be a simple balance. Not one side of the teeter totter can overwhelm the other.

Starting with fewer weapons takes less than a minute to do, while the other part of the solution would take around an entire days worth of time for me at least. I'm slow.

Fair enough, as long as we have a partial solution to lower leveled/newer players RDM, I guess that's fine. Just write it down in your things to do at some point.
