Ping Limit Needs To Be Put In Place

[Kermit (Frog) 0]

Hey Lotus clan!

First off, let me say that I'm relatively new to your server, but have found it to be one of the best in terms of cool people to play with and hit reg/accuraccy of server results.

That having been said, I was wondering if you could take a look at a really annoying issue with your servers. They are constantly populated with users from other countries (maybe even planets) with pings of 150+ (generally over 250!). This causes terrible lag on the server and makes the game unplayable for even those with 50 and below pings like myself.

I, and many others on the server have been making it our responsibility to ask players with high pings to leave. If they don't, we kick them via kick-vote and ask them not to come back till they fix their pings. If they come back, we generally voteban them for the 30 minute so we can get back to having fun. There has to be a better way though! I know that many other servers use an autokick setting for people with high latency. Is there some way you could implement a no pings over 100 rule on your CS:S servers so others don't have to play server sheriff all the time?

Thanks!

Officially valve says that Source can compensate upto 300MS even.

Anyway, not going to be adding a ping kicker right now. Perhaps sometime later though.

Officially, you only need a 2.8Ghz single core processor to run Crysis too...that doesn't mean it runs at a playable level.

I'm sorry to hear that you aren't going to take this issue seriously.
