lp was probably the best fun ive had in gaming across the diff servers but getting banned from ww3 was the best thing that happened in my life lol it ended my streak of playing 12+ hours a day for 3 years

wonder how many others were doing it

i remember only seeing you get banned for it
yeah there were a bunch of people using/knew about it on both factions from what i remember and thats just people i knew. it was only a thing for like a month though before i got banned idk if they patched it after

wasn't the most op thing, probably deserved a couple months tops, half a year for suit zooming was a bit silly

it was hella op imo with how accurate the guns were and you only needed a headshot to kill

i cant imagine why holding T would get you banned

suitzoom's always been part of the base gmod

either disable it or let people use it imo

it was disabled, the exploitative aspect was using a roundabout way with aliases to enable it. I remember that you could also scope and shoot while zoomed in that way

oh right yeah illegally viewing people's monitors

its worrying how many servers do that
it was a thing with serverguard; i think new serverguard still has screencap but the steam overlay thing was apparently caused by a gmod bug which was patched a while ago and so it doesn't happen anymore

not like it matters to us mind, we haven't had screencap on neb for years

Basically.

I have a personal disdain for it myself.

i remember on another server an admin was browsing through screencaps and found another admin browsing gay porn in the steam overlay

and thats how he found out the other guy was gay

Yeah the overlay thing was a Gmod bug (which was patched out) and/or the result of using an older version of Serverguard, which some communities still do (though the reality is a lot more complex and you actively have to fuck with Serverguard even then to get it to work something).

On LP it was used pretty often by some people to catch cheaters/metagamers.
