*punches you in the head*
To be very clear, our rules do state that ShowEQ, MySEQ and MQ are against the rules. I've never stated that they aren't, or that our stance is set in stone.

If we catch you deserving a punch in the head, we'll give you a punch in the head. That has always been my stance.

I think the important part here is that people, on their own volition, took "We're not going to be actively looking for map programs because we don't currently see a situation in which they'd be actively able to benefit" as "We're not doing this, ever. It's pointless." and that's simply not the case.

The posts here have kind of struck me as some sort of clamoring on the latter assumption, not the former fact or the rules themselves.

I would rather spend my time on fixing bugs and other development tasks post-launch, as spending a ton of time on cheat detection takes away from the quality of the server.

If cheating becomes a problem, I will make sure there isn't one.

Based on this thread alone, and the excitement of folks 'looking forward to' cheating, it's likely that there will be more work to do than what I have already done before launch.
