I would agree that it's a sticky issue. There are a lot of ways to exploit traps that I haven't really seen, spending most of my time in RP servers where traps are hard for newbies to come by. I just never thought to set a trap right up on a goblin's butt.

I understand, though, that DMs have to look at issues like this from an admin standpoint, and whether or not they want the extra grief of evaluating trapsetting case-by-case. It occurs to me that since you guys seem to have the server fairly well in hand, a big factor in whether there will be exploiting is how easy traps are to get ahold of for new players.
