I guess the folks reading this forum probably are NOT the target of this "advice". But for the sake of reiterating the obvious, do not just scream "building needs repair"- it is vague and creates a panic run by teammates all over the place. Save that command for when you need it.
All to often a player is screaming "building needs repair" over and over, and the whole team pulls back from the front line to protect the base, when I press K, I can see that none of the buildings are hurt.
If you are genuinely concerned about whether or not a building is in danger, press K and find out.

I know exactily what you mean. The first thing I do when I join a game in progress is hit "k" (well actually "5" on my numpad since i use the arrows) to see what the base status is. There's nothing worse than hearing "GDI Power Plant is under attack" while you're a tech inside repairing and someone on the other end of the map is spamming:
"Building need repair"
"Building need repair"
"Building need repair"
"Building need repair"
"Building need repair"
Also, good point by Blazer. I use the "j" ("4") alot, but I never thought of using it for that purpose.

This is all too true, although it is quite annoying whenn all Engies (includin Hotwire/Techs) leave the base for an APC rush while we are supposed to abandon our $1000 Characters and repair the base.

ok, i may have spammed the "Building needs repair" once or twice, but only when i am standing at the MCT, and there entire attack force it pounding that building, and the rest of the team is just off wondering around....
then... i spam it like crazy with a "refin" in there everyonce in a while, or "pp", just to kind of hint that we are getting our ass kicked

Ever thought about sending a couple of quick Ctrl+9's? Team message of "I'm in position." You should find that most people stfu after you mention that.
You guys should ALL use Renegade AutoComplete, no joke. You can fill the messages with relevant details of WHICH building that is under attack, instead of the vague "Building needs repairs".
I usually send a "repbar" command followed by Ctrl+1, another "repbar" and one more Ctrl+1. This works wonders, it's amazing how many people decide to co-operate because they know which building to defend.
