Thing is, it's not really a good idea to base a player on the amount of items that they have in their backpacks. Many players delete/craft/trade their items, therefore leaving their backpack quite minimilistic making it unreasonable and unfair to kick/ban/whatever becuase of that reason. annarack ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ross Bemrose [[email protected]] Sent: 24 June 2011 19:29 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Free-to-Play and hackers...
