I have always refused to run PB. For the simple fact of the Manditory clan tag registry system.   Now if PB's aim was solely to deffend against cheaters. then fine. I would be behind them seeking Valves support. But as long as they package and slip in other stupid mandatory registration of names/nicks tags or anything NOT RELEATED to cheats. Then i say F*C* them. The only reason Ive ran hl/cs so long is 1) valves incredable support of theyre admins.(thank you eric and all your team)  2) i like cs. But the day someone starts dicktating to me, what names, lang, and behavior i must enforce on my server. is they day i close it and move to a less dracionian game.    To Valve. I would be in no extra rush to support a system that isnt dedicated to JUST removing cheats. You dont see admin_mod/halfd etc forceing unwanted opions or registry systems on ppl. And for so long as PB Bundles diferent registration issues, under the guise of cheat prevention. It should be placed low on your priority list.    This is not intended to promote an argument. Nor is it meant to bring up the long and hotty debated clan tag reg system debate. Just a statement of opion. As long as PB's focus isnt JUST cheat prevention. It should get no more support then any other mod/developer.
