Declined Hi, I am Conan O'Fryin' (another sv_pure thread)

[Conan O'Fryin']

And today I logged onto the Texas Mountain Lab server (Pretty much the only Skial server I go on) to find out that the sv_pure setting has been switched on. "Outrageous" says an angry Conan O'Fryin' upon realizing that his custom mods that he poured oh so many hours into are now useless.

"Who cares?" asks the uncultured and bewildered reader.

Well, this reaction upon the server change is not just my own, nay, it is shared among quite a good number of people in the Texas Mountain Lab community. I am inclined to believe that it is just a mistake upon noting that other servers have been unaffected, and the fact that there was not a thread explaining that such an event would occur prior to me making my own. I would like to request that the change be reverted, or if that is not possible, give a good explanation as to why this was done

If we have sv_pure 1 (which we have) then you can use normal mods, which doesn't for example change the color of a cloaked spy or make all walls go invisible so I don't understand what the issue is. I can use all my mods nicely on Skial servers. (sound, models, lightwarp and some more)

Oh no, I understand what it does - I just don't understand why there is outrage that we have this on.

You'll find that, 90% of the time, it is, in fact, people who want to wallhack and say "BUT IT'S LEGAL WITH NO SV_PURE!"

OK. I'll just lock this again since Bott has spoken. I thought for some reason they had been set to 0 accidentally, but apparently that's not even the case so I don't know what the complaint is about.
