OMG are you guys still discussing that matter?
I thought everything is clear now:
1. Joining spec is not forbidden as far as I know, if you want to go to toilet or take a short break or whatever. If you then get into another team it wasn't your choice.
2. Staying in spec for the first round is not forbidden yet as far as I know and you will not lose your multi, because you didn't spawn (don't know if that will be changed or not, I don't care). You only lose your multi if you spawned in a team. If you go back to spec then you will still lose it.
3. Joining spec, team, spec, team, spec, team is forbidden, because you exploit the bugs/mistakes or whatever in the bannerbalance system until you get into your team.
Anything else?
Now stop the discussions here.
If you see someone still exploiting the bannerbalance thingy just take screens and report him in bansection. Posting here is just useless and causes lots of bullshit mimimi arguing
But what I have seen is that most people stopped with it now, after the big ban-day
