When should a match restart due to a glitch in the game??

Im sure we are all aware of the CTF glitch where certain dead bodies have a flag above their head, partly buried in the ground. Clearly, this does not affcect the flag itself which will be dropped, its just a visual glitch that needs to be covered in an update. Is this grounds for restarting a half in a match?? Can one team call a match if this visual glitch occurs?

Doesnt the flag disapear after a min or two? If allowed a team that is losing would pray for that flag glitch just to get a restart.

yes it does but that isnt the issue. The opposing team is arguing over the fact that a dead body had the flag still above his head, you know that annoying one that blocks your vision in tanks... They were arguing on the grounds that the dead body somehow disrupted the match.
Regarding the flag itself, another team member picked it up and ran off with it. There was nothing wrong with the gameplay itself, just with the A/V of the corpse.

sounds like they are just looking for out

now, i'm just a forum admin, so i can't speak for those who would REALLY make a ruling on this, BUT... this is my view:

the only arguement i would even LISTEN to, is if the clan thought that the flag was still there... but it either really WOULD be there, or they run over it and it says "so n so picked up the flag" or "the flag has been returned" so that point is kinda moot anyways.

it doesn't hinder gameplay at all, sure it's annoying, but what are you gonna do about it? i suppose you could set the # of dead bodies for your computer to draw down to almost nil and it'll be removed soon with the body (i think that works), or they can just not worry about it. once you start a match, you finish it. any problems with the match, keep on playing b/c an admin might not rule that the match should stop, and now you gotta play all over again, or whoever stopped the match might have to forfeit (Depending on the situation and whatnots). so yeah, the answer is no, that's not a valid reason to restart a match.

can we know who this clan is so that we can make of them for this? i'm not sure i've ever heard an excuse quite this lame to get a match thrown out.

so there's a flag there that doesn't function....cry me a river.
