Admins using exploit?

[killamaninthehead]

Recently in source, I saw a full admin getting killed early in a round only to disconnect and reconnect to be alive again in the same round. I engaged this admin in private chat to question him on why he was doing this. He stated that there was no rule against it. Personally I believe this would be considered an exploit considering the developers never intended this to happen. Just because they haven't bothered to fix it doesn't mean it isn't an exploit. I would like your opinions on whether or not you would find this acceptable in an admin. And whether or not you believe this constitutes an exploit. Thx.

(no I will not name the admin because he is a good admin)

explains my reasoning on the matter.

personal judgement would say its not allowed as its not intended. If they do it once, hey maybe they didn't know and they aren't really hurting anyone. Multiple times is a problem though.

That was my thoughts and maybe that is something that should be either conveyed in admin training or in a thread better defining this exploit.

I don't think there would need to be a rule against it, an exploit is an exploit.

not everything is going to be explained. we're expected to use good judgement and common sense to make a reasonable assumption on grey area stuff that isn't ok.

 

[c-whit?]

who was the admin?

 

[Dr. H@ckf3$t]

Exploits aren't allowed in the MC division, so consistency would say that they shouldn't be allowed here.

There's nothing wrong with it.

It's almost like dying in CS:GO on our server, then pressing "E" (or whatever your use key is) to take over a bot and play again. Nothing against that.

 

[Dr. H@ckf3$t]

Yeah, that's not an exploit for CS:GO, and i think it just depends on if leadership wants to term that as an exploit for CS:S. I personally don't think it's an exploit.

One is intended and implemented by Valve so bots aren't a complete detriment to your team. The other is an unintended side effect of allowing late joiners to spawn in before buy time ends. The two aren't really comparable.

You're not actually allowed to leave and rejoin the server as explained to me by leadership and the AT's this is actually a W/K/B if done constantly since this prevents them from losing score and also gaining an extra life, It's also the same in JAIL where you cannot leave and rejoin for a better cell. There should be no admins doing this

You lose score the instant you die

Its disruptive to the server and i believe there is some way to not lose ur score if u leave or something along those lines

If you leave and rejoin, it resets your score. To the extent of what I know.

Score is bit the issue. If you are getting two lives in one round it's not fair. Good player or bad player, two lives per round is not good nor fair. I know O's who do this and I don't approve of this but I don't say anything either. I've had to ask about this and was told of it is consistent to use the w/k/b procedure

 

[killamaninthehead]

my thoughts exactly ..... thanks for the replies next time i see the admin i will redirect them to this thread

 

[XxDoomxX]

There is nothing like the DropBox to solve this issue !!!
