    Hey guys,

    Lately, I've experienced alot of problems in our trade server. VIPs resize themselves to a smaller size and constantly annoy other players while remaining undetected due to their size. Not only that, but some VIPs resize themselves, while being a Pyro, and stand infront of the enemy spawn simply holding down m1 and making it impossible to play. I know that its a trade server, but this has become a huge problem I can't ignore.

    My suggestion is to force these players to become friendly. We already have the !friendly command, and it would be a simple and effective way to stop this, lets say, abuse. Please tell me what you think.

    @zefeel@zefeel "Not only that, but some VIPs resize themselves, while being a Pyro, and stand infront of the enemy spawn simply holding down m1 and making it impossible to play."

    Doing so is an abuse of VIP commands.
    Also spawnkilling is not allowed.
    Therefore I agree with your suggestion.

    I understand that as well.

    I remember back in the summer of 2013 on Achievement/Idle.
    A lot of VIPs would´ve changed class to sniper and go pygmy, and then take down players one by one.
    It was getting a Hell of annoying and after that i decided to take a break from there.

    I agree with you, Zefeel.
    Nobody should feel like that.

    Nice suggestion, myself have I been in a situation like that, and it's horrible, enough said - I agree.

    Also Engineers probably shouldn't be able place down sentries when super small, I mean. Mini-sentries are one thing but only Satan himself could visualize it so you also had combat an almost impossible to hit Engineer crapping the things out quicker than you could spot him.

    You can't abuse commands you pay for...
    the only thing you can do is ask them to stop or report them.

    The !resizeme command was introduced for VIPs to have fun, and not to be dicks to everyone else.

    that doesn't change the fact you can't abuse commands you pay for,
    and maybe the vips are "having fun" while the rest isn't.
    I'd suggest adding some VIP command rules.

    I'd just like to say that they don't pay for anything, donating doesn't mean "pay to unlock this ability".

    That isn't always the case.

    While obviously the video example is an extreme and the current issue is pretty minor at best, we shouldn't class donation abilities as "non-abuse-able" just because the player had paid for them. Since apparently some people still to this day, play legitimately on Trade servers despite the names implications of 'trading', and these people might find it a little daunting.

    I mean, it could be worse, we still don't have those Valve Weapons you could buy like Golden's Kritzkrieg thing. Do we?

    We have multiple of those insane weps around.
    I don't feel the need to change the way vip commands work but I do support some basic rules about the use of vip commands.

    This can be extremely annoying, since sometimes I see mini pyros, and I need to be a pyro to kill them.

    The difference is, that saigns does this on all of their regular servers, while the donator weapons are limited to trade only.
    And you can't really consider Trade as being "competitive". If they still abuse their Weapons (to spawnkill for example), they'll be banned like everyone else.

    I still think that its wrong to give someone an advantage if they have enough money, regardless what map or gamemode it is. I still remember how Misterxxx had one of these custom weapons and would make the whole server quit because nobody could play normally.

    Custom weps on trade have never made me disconnect from trade.. as for any other servers I couldn't tell you.

    Point is, theres been no report (as far as I know) over the nature of custom weps - if its just on trade then leave it be and stop even considering it a problem.
