just about cheating: we got 11 24-slot public servers and have much problems with cheaters the last weeks. hard work for us to be present on all servers.

All these new features and lock-down type changes are all good, however the biggest threat that I see at the moment, is cheating/hacking players. Since the rollout of the "Guest Pass" system, every single server I join will have at least 1 hacker/cheater on it at some point in the gaming session. I would think that more effort should go into cheat/exploit detection and correction (for which Valve HAVE been addressing - thanks guys), as this problem is what causes a server to go from having 20/20 players for example, to 0/20 players.

One is server forwarding. I've heard from people operating 50 servers that all forward to one, and I've joined many of these types of servers, so I'm not unhappy about this change at all. The other is changing players' rates. Since those can now be limited by the new cvars (which Valve provided in response to the original restrict server commands outcry) there is no problem there either. I can't think of another valid reason to use a client exec from a plugin. I don't understand why there is so much outcry. What client commands (other than those listed above) are you execing on players that you miss so much with the restrictions? Grant (L.
