It would sure be nice to know when Valve is going to get their heads out
of their asses.
Their API is useless. There is a reason nobody uses it...it has very
little functionality.
I usually dont post hate mail but this update is absolutely the worst
update I have ever seen.

"As you've seen noted on these lists before. Valve shouldn't have to hold
the hand of the 3rd party plugin creators if they are unwilling to create
plugins that integrate into the provided API from Valve."
That's exactly what all of us were doing. VALVe however just made their API
useless.

By all means - I utterly hate the little bastard admins out there who take
delight in client exec'ing bind all kill and so on, and by all means
clients
should have every right to block this. On the other hand, clients
misbehaving by rating - server admins should have the choice to exclude
these people from their servers.
I absolutely support having this command available, but it should NOT be
defaulted to 1. As I said in my previous post, if clients want to elect
not
to have my rates forced on them, then they can play on other servers - by
defaulting it to on, the average user on our servers who was quite happy
with having rates forced can't join.
Remember your average CS player isn't going to think to turn this off,
they're just going to join the server and find CVARX or zBlock or whatever
your plugin of choice bans them. Within 5 minutes of this update being out
I
had three angry emails accusing me of banning people without reason.
Leave this command there, but for sanity's sake, default it to be off.
