Hello, Thanks for your hard work on cs:go, we all appreciate it. Unfortunately, the public knowledge of mp_warmup_start/end's unrestricted availability to all connected users to a server is now mainstream, and the result is a widespread problem. We run one server that has been brought to its knees by troublemakers who seemingly do nothing but join various community servers and put them into warmup mode.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem? I have read about an "optional" hotfix, mentioned in this email list on I believe the 9th or the 10th, but it has not been implemented by most of the hosts such as Gameservers. It does not appear that they are aware of it, or that this exploit requires prompt attention. We have seen a massive influx of new users from other clans' servers as well as unassociated people as a result of this presumably being a showstopper at other servers. Of course, then someone joins and repeatedly executes the command, effectively making everyone leave. My point is to highlight that it is happening at most if not all of the more popular community servers. I have heard of a Sourcemod plugin called Command Blocker which may provide a solution, but I am surprised that any sort of fix would not be mandatory and of high priority -- this was discovered 3+ days ago. I presume you have a good reason, but what is the logic behind making it optional? Is it a matter of minimizing the number of major bugfix releases, or something related to quality control (ie, more testing needed before implementing)? Not knowing anything low-level about your source, my first thought is that surely this is just a permissions flag for the command... but what do I know.. Anyway, hope that you can prod someone into action soon. The game is unplayable at preferred times.
