From my point of view, a sniper server with deemers is a curious thing.
Our sniper server have deemers in most of maps, so is a curious thing for me, but I accepted it, with no complaint since the first day I entered to play in the server. (Lot of time ago... 🙄 When I was only a defenseless guest... )
The DOU sniper server is not the only one having such a weapon. I know others.
Discussions, respect if that is good or bad, are old and will never have end...
Personally, I prefer sniper servers without deemers. But I have no problems if a server have it.
Anyway, if a server have deemers, like ours, I use it. No matter for me if there is playing in that moment, a clan member or a guest who hate them. Like boots, life kits, shields and other stuff, they are put there to use them... and I use it.
Is a simple thing... It is necessary to be pragmatic and not a whiner.
Just as the rules, we have to adapt ourselves to the circumstances.
But rules can be discussed and eventually changed. So deemers could be discussed also. Anyway, in our case, probably this discussion will not have any effect. The deemers will continue there. Old members know why. It is related to our brave and beloved leader...
At this point I want to say I prefer our sniper server continues having deemers.
It is very funny to throw a deemer to another player occasionally. Especially to those that presume to be very skillful...
I do it all the time. Sometimes I kill myself with the deemer, and that's funny to others...
In real life deemers are not funny, but snipers are not funny either...
My conclusion: deemers haters need to search for other server, or play here with the mouth closed.
We have deemers. Every family have a black sheep. No matter for me. I love my family including the black sheep...
Deemers can be fun most of the time....sometimes they are a pain in the rear. Surprisingly deemers don't bother me much on most maps because I know that they are around and I know where to hide from them. Sometimes I get caught off guard, but its way less of a worry to me since I'm more likely to be close killed verses getting killed by a deemer.
Keep the deemers :peace_v:

Agreed. They add an interesting twist to the game and keep players on their toes. Additionally, as R Mad mentioned, not all maps have deemers.
I always say:
Deemers are bad & ugly :loco:
But for sure I will not complain if I kill someone with a deemer 
Oops, did I say something wrong?
Deemers are an option in maps. You can put them in the map or not.
The first map I did, I put deemers. In the others, I did not.
In the future I will never put a deemer in a map. Sorry Nuker.
On the other hand, from RSA we can deactivate deemers in all maps. Is a server option.
As Kitty said, most of time we know which maps have deemers and where they are, so we can protect us very well from an attack.
From time on time we are victims of a deemer. No big deal at all.
Probably the statistics say that more players die falling down from heights using the translocator, that whose attacked for deemers...
Deemers....hmmm! I have no problem with the deemers. Actually i like them! It is amusing to run, duck, and hide from them then taunt the person who cant fly it anyway. Also, it keeps people from camping the same spots every time. If i must say, when I get hit by one, i like to shoot the next one down to redeem myself ( no pun intended)! Only the strong survive!!!!
I like the deemers we used to have that had the larger blast radius.
Then we switched to these different colored, faster models. What I really don't like about the current deemers is that you can pick up a target regardless how far away you are.
I'd like to see a switch back to the original version where you had to be within a certain range to pick up a target. You had to work harder to get kills with them.

What map have these colored models...?
When we switched the deemer model change? Before I was a clan member?
I remember only playing with the same deemer for years.
I'm interested in your point Cyggy. We would came back... to a better deemer. 😀
Tell me more please.
I hate deemers, but I will use them sometimes.
And no, they dont have to go. Its a bit of a love/hate thing I guess.
In reply to Cyg. I think the deemers with the greater blast and reach are pretty cool, but I agree with the fact that you had to work harder to blast a target, because of the smaller range with the deemers we used before. I wouldnt care if they come back, but I understand the point of view.
Reply to R_Mad. The deemers with the smaller range were here allready when you were a full member.
The different colored deemers are only used in TDM if I'm correct, to see if its friendly fire or not...

It's the same one as is used on the multi-server.
It is very funny to throw a deemer to another player occasionally.
This is to me the key-point on having deemers on a server. Yes, if you're not skilled enough to shoot with a sniper you could try to take someone out with a deemer to kill them.
Sadly enough though, most people with deemers are hogging the deemer-spot. If you're continiously shooting with the redeemer, then you shouldn't be on a SNIPER CAMPER server, but in the ROCKET ARENA. It annoys other SNIPERS and you will be annoyed too because some WILL try to come up close and kill you while you are shooting with the deemer. 😉

Keep or use all of (something) for oneself in an unfair or selfish way.

There's no need getting annoyed when you are close killed when using a deemer, because it is alowed!. 😉 Shooting a player closeby, who uses a deemer isn't regarded as a close kill. You can even back off to kill someone who's flying a deemer, when you are nearby his spot, or spawn in the players area.
This exception in our rules is because we consider the player using the deemer being at the place where the deemer is at that moment and not on the place he uses it.
