Author Topic: The "its extremely abusive" argument is terribly invalid.  (Read 2119 times)

Agreed.  Calling something abusive is just a simpler way than describing the actual problem.

A host has to make a conscious effort to download said addon.  Most hosts then go on to host a TDM or a Fort Wars or something, and are either too lazy or too stupid to turn off the addon.  Their server then degrades into stuff as every player uses that addon while other players call the addon abusive.

The creator of the addon probably knew how over-exaggerated the features of his addon were when he made it.  It in fact was probably the reason he made it.  It is the fault of the host for not realizing this and turning it off.  Therefore, the host is abusive, not the addon.


If its abusive in one server it will be abusive in all of them!
If the server has an abusive host, Why do you go there and have the add-on spammed?

All of these "abusive weapons" used in the servers have the host held responsible. If the host is dumb, why join their server anyway?
Edit: I think this should be moved to General Discussion.

yes anything can be abusive.
but most of what people suggest are features that play more purpose to grief then anything else.

"hey guys can u make a gun that rapedly shoots mininukes?"



Extremely abusive things shouldn't be allowed in game at all.

It's a perfectly fine arguement, I don't want to join some server only to find he has insta death laser cannon that gives lewinskys to admins enabled.

"Hey guys! I just downloaded the default gun!"
"ONRELAY FIRERELAY ONRELAY SPAWNPROJECTILE DEFAULT GUN BOOLET SIZE 20000"
"ONRELAY FIRERELAY ONRELAY SPAWNPROJECTILE DEFAULT GUN BOOLET SIZE 20000"
"ONRELAY FIRERELAY ONRELAY SPAWNPROJECTILE DEFAULT GUN BOOLET SIZE 20000"
"ONRELAY FIRERELAY ONRELAY SPAWNPROJECTILE DEFAULT GUN BOOLET SIZE 20000"
"FFFFUUUUUUUU-Lag and crash."
Showing that the default gun and events can be abusive.

You can't crash a sever with events.


You can't crash a sever with events.
You can't crash a sever, But you can crash a server.
Examples: RYNO-V.
The RYNO is a stupid weapon. The lasers are horribly inaccurate and the missiles have crappy homing/are too weak.

Mininuke and ryno-v and all those would be fine in a server as long as they aren't being spammed by groups of people simultaniously.

This was initially posted in drama, but it has since been moved.

Guns are abusive in real life, but people don't freak out about selling them.
You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.
