>"Removed the disconnect REASON from the message when players leave the server" > Why on earth would you do that? Ancient ancient ancient ancient issue where they (the game) pass this through a format function and can crash through arbitrary memory reading. The string was localized too to the client disconnecting which was even more neat. It's beyond well documented how this has been abused for well over a decade. > Numerous security and stability improvements Can we for the love of god please get a CS:S sync. There's so much bad stuff out there now and keeping all the other games vulnerable doesn't help anyone. I'm happy to spend an hour reviewing the changeset or whatever it takes to help this stuff land. Kyle.

So when a player leaves after being moderated they do not have the ability to spam their Discord server (which sells cheats/hacks/etc) or use it as a final parting blow to send more harassment. This is a pretty common vector of last-minute abuse/spam that a lot of trolls and bot accounts use.
