Spawn camping

Spawn camping is the practice of "camping" near a spawnpoint with the intention of killing any player who spawns at that spawnpoint. Alternatively, a proximity-triggered explosive (for example, a trip-mine) may be placed at the spawnpoint so that any player who spawns there is killed instantly.

Spawn camping is widely frowned upon as an unfair tactic, and in some servers it is enough to recieve a ban. Some games try to prevent spawn camping by instituting temporary invincibility after spawning. In such a situation, a player is invincible for a certain period of time (usually very short) after he or she spawns, with the purpose of giving that player time to react to any spawn camper.
