Yeah no. Sorry but if I get attacked from behind while harvesting some well needed soulsand. Guess what. If its a pigman, I will try kill it. If its a player performing a rdm. I am going to log out to denie him a cheap kill since I never agreed to pvp with anyone in the nether in the first place.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but this server isn't a PvP server; therefore this idea has been rendered pointless. Why would we need a logging penalty? Sure, it gets annoying when you lose a kill to logging, but that's why it's PvP. It's not supposed to be easy. What good would a logging penalty bring to the community as a whole? How unfair will it be if a random game crash occurs in the middle of a battle? Consider my previous post's hypothetical example.
This is completely unnecessary. If you want the kill so badly, set up a trap for when he or she returns (if you can) or just camp his/her log spot. It's as simple as that.

If someone can answer all my questions and counter my arguments with valid points, then I'll change my vote to yes.

You talk like random crashes happen to everyone all the time. If your harvesting soulsand there is a very small chance someone would actually find you seeing how must pvp is at the main portal. Logging out in pvp is just a low thing to do that should be bannable. If your sole purpose is to go into the nether and pvp then you clog how is that fair to the ones attacking you? It should at least be allowed that if someone gets a video of you clogging in obvious pvp then a ban be given.

Two things. One I hightlighted and increased the size of the most important thing you said in your post to show others what kind of server this is and second. ain't it illegal to set a trap where someone logged out at like a lava pit, tnt pressure plate, etc?

Traps are only forbidden within 50 blocks of the nether spawn portal.

Spoiler:

[Edit] Apologies, I thought I read somewhere that it was 15.
[Double edit]: It is 15 according to the rules on the forums. [Triple Edit] I'm stupid....Got it, Rokkr.

If you don't want to fight, then you shouldn't have to fight. There is a low chance, but there still is a chance.

Also, with the nether being incredibly laggy, it's natural that people experience crashes, for example, Chubsy experienced numerous crashes the other day just bay standing in a spot hundreds of blocks AWAY from the hoards of PvPers. Its natural to crash. Point countered.

Let's also say that you're hunting with your friend in the nether nearby lava or even fire for thay matter when he accidentally hits you while trying to kill a pigman. You are lagging so badly, you didn't even see what hit you, but you assumed it was your friend's accident. Being incredibly laggy, you decide to relog so you don't accidentally lag your way into lava or fire. You relog and die. Your stuff flies everywhere and some lands in lava and/or fire and burns.
Happy now?
Your point has just been countered.
You still have yet to answer my other questions.

I said "to set a trap" didn't state where at though. XD but thats something I didn't know about traps in the nether.

Abuse of logging is already bannable.

[Double edit]: It is 15 according to the rules on the forums.

We are also now enforcing a 15 block radius around all spawn portals. Within this 15 block radius you may not build anything for the purpose of PVP. This includes portals close to Roanoke, Abyssus, and Spawn City.

Cube that is the initial blocks around the portal not traps, traps themselves are 50 hence why I edited it. Me and Intelli have discussed it before it's two separate things.

Which reminds me I should probably add that in so it doesn't cause confusion.

Edit: I fixed/updated it for better understanding/clarification.

My apologies again. I hit the wrong button. My fingers are too fat for my phone. I'd appreciate of these posts could be quietly deleted.
