Bleeding is when you deliberately firep on your team mate but don't actually kill hm. Most times it is people who can't wait for ammo or for that guy in front to run faster or sometimes just because they are bored. Either way deliberate bleeding if it's persistant will get you banned from the server.

Scenario:
You are driving on the free-way. You decide to change lanes. You observe traffic, signal your intent, do a shoulder check, begin to make the lane change and Speed Tard from Hell slips into your spot doing twice the speed limit.
Do you, A. Calmly pull out your magnum 356 revolver with mercury-tipped rounds, roll down the window and proceed to stitch a 'heart' sign on the trunk of the offending car?
B. Accelerate rapidly and attempt to ram the offending vehicle off the road before he/she does any more sneaky lane-changes?
C. Pull the pin on Mr. Grenade, count to 3 and lob it at the offending car?
D. All of the above?
E. Curse, display the length of your longest finger and enjoy watching several miles up the road the offending tard pulled over by a cop?
Scenario 2:
You are at a bank, waiting patiently in that mental state somewhere between formaldahyded brain and drunken stupor without the giddy affects when suddenly, 3 people in front of you, the guy with the bad toupee and trench-coat whips out a sawed-off shotgun and screams: "EVERYBODY DOWN THIS IS A HOLD UP. ANYONE MOVES AND I'LL BLAST YOU TO HELL."
Do you, A. Grab the pee-dribling taxi-driver in front of you, using him as a shield as you launch at the gun-toting bank-robber?
B. Launch yourself onto the closest dumb-founded security guard, tackle him to the ground, wrench his weapon from him and begin fireing rapidly in the general vacinity of the bad-toupee?
C. Continue mentally tabulating your bills and general out-going expenses with expected income and wondering if you should have the mutton-chops baked in fresh Brazilian mustard-seed or the free-range chicken baste-broiled in your new hand-cranked rotissarie barb-b-q for dinner....
D. All of the above?
E. Lay down and take this rare opportunity to answer a long-wondered question regarding statistical comparison of the amount of dresses worn with the amount of under-garments worn.

I think the admins here do a good job and are quite fair.
That being said, it might be better, even if a player is clearly wrong, to use /pm a bit more, instead of using the big hammer right away. Call it "diplomacy" or "public relations", or whatever. In my life experience, I've found that talking respectfully to someone works really well.
Something about catching more flies with honey than with vinger.
Just a thought.

I have a question...is it technically "bleeding" if you shoot a teammate when you have the spawnshield? I was banned last week when there was 3 seconds left in the round, and we were a newly spawned allied in the bunker, with no hope of winning. I shot my teammates who were also freshly spawned, time ran out before our spawn shield was expired, and then I was immediately banned without any warning whatsoever. There wasn't a previous problem on the server, as in nobody was tk'ing, nobody was complaining, and I didn't even know the admin was on the server.
Goofing around for the last 3 seconds after spending the past 24 minutes and 57 seconds helping my extremely noob team did not seem so bad to me. Certainly not bad enough to warrent a lengthy temp-ban with no warning.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if there are ban-worthy behavior ECGN's server that is common and accepted on other servers (such as what I did, or retaliatory tk'ing), please warn people BEFORE banning.

What name were you playing under? Assuming that the admin who banned you didn't know you from adam how do you expect him to distinguish between you who knew that the spawn shield was on and John Q mcnoobypants who doesn't understand spawn shields and was in fact trying to kill his team mates fo fun?
The name I was using seems irrelevant to me...I expect the same treatment as Wolfplayer. However, I was using a colored name with a tag on. And I was leader in scoreboard by far. And there is no doubt in my mind that I would have gotten top kills as an allied medic.
Even if I was using a whitename, which frequently do, how hard is it tell me not to do that? Takes more time to ban me than to tell me not to do that...
I realize that tons of noobs play on the server and they may not understand the spawnshield or that you can't run through the trenches, reach the wr and transmit the docs with 3 seconds left in the round. They may think tk'ing is ok. I realize this...but a warning is all I ask, because I had no idea it was a ban-able offense.

It's whether or not the admin recognises your name that matters not what colour it is. The point I was making is that if you play under an alias and never let the admin see who you are he will assume the worst of your behaviour. In the case above for example the admin clearly thought you were trying to kill team mates not just playing with the spawn shield. Admins build up a picture of a player over time and are more likely to take time to try and understand what you are doing if they knows you and have seen you to be a good team player. If you played as nofx he would probably have assessed the situation to be fairly harmless and, knowing you to be law abiding, have let it go or pm'd you with a warning.
For the record (*edit and you just posted so I know you understand this) shooting team mates while they are protected by spawn shiled is not ok either. New players to the server may not be used to the spawn shield and will think you are trying to kill them and it will (it happens sooo often) end in either you or him getting tk'd. If you are bored in the last 5/10 seconds of a round don't shoot friendlies just jump about a bit.
