Clients can protect themselves better by making their config.cfg read-only. Bind or unbind all they want, but upon exiting the game their config.cfg is restored to normal. Although I agree the ones below should be removed as they are pointless from an admin stand point. volume gg startmovie gl_log alias The others should remain. What I don't want to see is the same "dumb" down effect HL/CS has been doing since its gone retail. Fact is you got thousands of admins who do not even meet the age rating (mature) of the game. Why take away functionality from all admins, because of the child admins who are abusing it? Just my 2 cents. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Mitchell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 10:16 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_apps] Server-Side Bind Abuse > You can undo the effects of people changing your controls very easily > with just re-executing the scripts before exiting, because they won't be > modified, until you leave, so if/when it happens simply type "exec > valve.rc" i think its valve.rc but you get the idea. > > Thanks, > James Mitchell > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mehmet > Aksakal > Sent: Friday, 22 November 2002 12:45 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [hlds_apps] Server-Side Bind Abuse > > > Here's a list of command which I strictly disallow to all my admins. > > bind > alias > quit > volume > gg > unibindall > startmovie > sensitivity > gl_log > > I'm sure that these shouldn't be accessed by any admin.
