-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I don't think cl_restrict_server_commands is a mistake or bug. If there are exploitable client cvars that need to be monitored by a server plugin, those exploits need to be fixed. Officially supported fixes (not Mani-mod client cvar enforcement) carry the benefit of games that are harder to exploit out of the box, and we don't have to worry about malicious server admins having unwanted access to client settings.
Think of a web-page that has the ability to change your web browser settings. It might be nice for a web designer to stick his site in your bookmarks or make sure you don't set your font size too large and break his layout, but, it's your web browser and your browsing preferences shouldn't have anything to do with the web-page author. I wouldn't address Valve like morons or cowards, it's impolite. Your point has some merit but the new cvar is hardly an outrage: why can't admins just use Mani-mod to kick/warn users who set their rate too high, instead of setting the rate for them?
