This is NOT intended to be a PRO or ANTI scripting thread. This is thread is only to put a spotlight on what only goes on in the dark corners of the community and game servers. I hope this thread wont baloon up to something negative. I am only sharing here..
I am a server admin for the I AM servers. As of recently someone had posted in the I AM community boards that I use "hacks". This person had carried some grudge with me and had posted some cvar stuff from demo recordings citing that it was evidence of me using hacks.
The forum thread
The "evidence"?
Full Version: Scripting Prejudice

What that person didn't know was I had setinfo junk cvars written for fun, and [he] thought these were signs of an aimbot, wallhack, or god knows what else. The thread is open for all to see.
So.. I don't shy away from something I consider as a small hobby in the world of FPS games. I don't mind sharing what scripts I use, but this is evidence of scripting prejudice that untill this moment, I haven't seen first hand and only read about in the forums here.
I'm not trying to win any hearts by airing server drama on the official boards; no. I just wanted to share a prime example of script prejudice that I assume happens all the time.
Lol, good job on the junk cvars! 
setinfo hungry "Get A Snickers"
Certainly worth a chuckle. ^_^
On a side note, try setting your cl_updaterate a little higher - it could smooth out your gameplay.

Problems with joining passworded servers can occur if you have too much information stored via setinfo, though. Does anyone know exactly what the limit is?

Definately use a higher rate, cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate if thats low aswell and you have a good connection.

seriously though.. my net settings work just fine for me.
Do I have to be afraid now because I use -setinfo "s4" "p0kemon"?
And for the updaterate, everything _above_ 30 lags for me...

s4 pige0n must be the most absolute crappy joke ever to grace the ns cal community
dammit, I don't understand what the s4 pige0n thing is about!
I know it has something to with a certain hack that's name is same
as the sound emitted when a fly is flying, but what the hell is it?

s4 pidge0n is a 'key' - a line of code that can be added to config files. A certain hack used to add s4 pidgeon to your config when the hack was run. However, that isn't the only way for a key to be added to a config. You can easily make your own keys like Mr.RadicalEd did (this is the 'proof' of his hacking). I know some people who added s4 pidge0n to their configs just to freak out nubby admins for grins and giggles.
