Kevin,

Could you please shed some light on this. I am sure there are several here
who would love to be aware of "situations" where changing your name more
than 1x per map would be necessary.

There are quite a few instance where that is not true. Please dont push your
arbitrary limits on the community as a whole.

1X per map is more than enough. If you need to change it more than that something is wrong.

Alfred, please put my vote in with for a threshold of 1x per map or 1x every 5-10 minutes or more. Perhaps a default value of 1x per map, with config entry to modify if desired.

I would say once per minute is plenty. If Valve could help us with that,
it would be extremely useful.

It's CS:S that is being referred to. One of the newly released hacks out
now is a speedhack that will also grab every username on the server, and
change that players name to a slight variation of each one, once a
second.

Something like a cvar that admins can set or something hard-coded to
where either 1) the name-change allowed every X seconds is increased
significantly or 2) only X amount of name changes allowed per round or
(more ideally) per map would be nice.

And here's hoping that VAC2 comes out soon - the hacks and cheats have
become very bad recently, and are now widespread.

What mod are you talking about? Counter-Strike: Source has rate
limiting on name changes (once per second), we could change that
threshold.

Subject: [hlds] Name change exploit

Can Valve do something about the name change exploit, where a player
can change their name extreamly fast (ie, no flood
protection/throttling) in a server and prevent them from being easily
kicked (as their name changes so fast, on a full server, its very hard





to match up their steam ID to their name - since its changed by the
time I read the status output!).

Can we have a throttle of 1 name change per round as usual or 1 name
change while in observer per reconnect etc

ATTN VALVE: response please

Thanks

Maybe we should be allowed to set this as a cvar. There are obviously
mixed opinions as to what the limit should be so maybe we should be
allowed to set it ourselves?
