What could be construed from a player being pb kicked for "Cvar cmp_wall = 0" ?

Assuming you got syntax wrong, players will get kicked for such cvars = 1....Usually for cheats 0 means "off" and 1 means "on". This cvar is from an old cheat released over 9 months ago....it has since been long since detected... Today if players are kicked for cvars that are related to detected cheats, it can mean one of two things:
1. They downloaded the cheat, attempted to test it and was kicked for the cvar before PB had a chance to detect it.
2. They are using a config from when they used the cheat, or got the config from somebody else who used the cheat at some point.

Case #1 is what you want to avoid. This is why admins should not check for cvars of DETECTED cheats. Players kicked for such cvars and NOT by PB do not make it to the PsB AMBL. PsB doesn't ban for cvars because of Case #2, so it is best to wait for PB to detect the cheat. PB will detect it only a fraction of a minute later than the cvars...but the cheater is then added to the AMBL.

In either case, a player kicked for such a cvar should be banned from as many servers as possible.

thank you for such a detailed and enlightening reply! 'less its a "canned" response

Neck does not use "canned responses" and neither does deadmeat. Both have made a HUGE impact in q3 as to the number of cheaters that slime their way into the game. Nothing is 100%, but these two guys have done more for the q3 community in the last year or so, than any before them, in cutting down on the haxor slime.

Ban that fook if you are an admin, and if not, contact him/her and ask them to do so.

i still think case #2 is bs....cvars should make the MBL....IMO its just an excuse around case #1...LOL

but none the less....i agree with the above....

For those that are having difficulty following what neck and deadmeat are saying, if you are a streaming server admin, pm us for a list of cvar checks to run. We do not check for cvars like the one above, which PB already detects because as neck explained, the only way a player like this will get added to the MBL is if PB catches the cvar-- not YOU!!!

Having a ton of old cvars in your cfg will strain the server and result in kicks that never make it to the MBL. If you still insist on using old detected cvars in your cfg, then at least pm us with violations and complete info on them so we can ban the idiots too-- and get yourself added to our mailing list! We share kicks like these with streaming admins to get around the fact that they are not making the MBL. If you do not stream, do not bother asking.
