I second this idea. I am so damn sick of wasting hours of playing time spectating suspected cheaters every day! My server attracts new users on a daily basis, and there's an average of two players a night that I have to spec. It's the same with my other admins (who are much quicker to ban than me). Lately I spend about twice as much time spectating than playing, and even after all that, most of the time I'm STILL not sure - not a very good incentive for someone to run a server, IMO. Many times I've been tempted to shut mine down, but the cheating is so rampant on other servers and it seems admins are never present when there are obvious cheaters, so why bother playing at all? At least I can GUESS that I'm playing with honest people on my own server. On-demand client screen shots would be the best thing ever to happen to any online game. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
