Removing spawn points on OBJ maps

How would I remove spawn points on OBJ maps? I know how to add, but I'd like to remove some of the existing as well.
I've read somewhere that this can be done by spawning something else (like a crate) into the spawn location. is that the only way? If so, could anyone show me the code to spawn, say, a box, where a spawn point would be? (I can get the coordinates so don't worry).
Thanks!

Well, I dont know of removing, but moving is not a problem: Here is a mod to "The Hunt" I did to move the spawns around a bit to make the map a bit more balanced:

I see you also "cleaned up" the scripting for the Hunt. However I am tempted to ask what else you changed other than moving the spawn points (I'm talking about v1.0, not the one with CP mapfix).
Added: I see you removed "first", 2nd, 3rd and 4th threads... I guess they don't do anything?? I'm curious.

The cleanup only removed dead code. I suspect that "The Hunt" was an early map where the standard bombing scripts were still not created, so the script has a "raw" version of the bombing in it ( that does the same as using the
thread global/exploder.scr::main and
$my_bomb thread global/obj_dm.scr::bomb_thinker ).
Oh, and i added to things more:
* The Flak is fired when the map time is up.
* The breach text now says "Aliens" instead of "Allies".

Flak ought to fire at the town, certain spots like the road, aliies spawn area (get rid of those idiot spawn campers!!!

) some houses that are blown off.....

Using a big piece of hardware like a Flak to bombard close range like that seems a bit unlogical, I think that is up to the infantry ( but the spawn moving gives the Allies a chance to get out of that road before beeing pinned down by a rain of axis grenades and well positioned snipers

, so it should make spawn campers a bit less of a problem ).
