  • CS:GO Player Uses Exploit to Spam Chat and Avoid Kicks

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]11344[/ATTACH]
    Reddit has made the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community aware of a player (or players) that has been going around to servers, spamming chat, and avoiding being kicked.

    The user is on some sort of crusade to make Valve aware of cheaters in CS:GO by going about it in one of the most ass-backwards ways possible. All that Valve has done so far is provide a small solution to mitigate the exploit that the user is making use of. In the longer term Valve is "working on a solution" but they do not yet have an ETA on when that full fix will be deployed.

    The user has been going around and spamming walls of text in chat through the use of bots, similar to the screenshot shared below by pitatoide on Reddit.

    Because nothing gets Valve to do something more than exploiting their game and spamming a poorly written comment with opinions that were pulled out of your ass. You did it, dude!

      Are cheaters in CS:GO that rampant of an issue? I haven't played online in a while, so I don't actually know.
      I don't play anymore, the only CS:GO i used to see was when jackfrags played it, and cheaters are one of the reasons he stopped.
      Either cheaters are so incredibly rampant just due to the high population of the game, or Valve are failing to prevent them, either way i think it's important for events like this to create public awareness which then pushes Valve into taking action.

      The only action Valve were pushed into was efforts to stop the lobby invasion exploit. Otherwise, people like anomaly and nickbunyun come with their "fix csgo" efforts, but with no actual good ideas, just rhetoric.

      Cheating has always been a big issue in CS, and in no way am I brushing it under the rug, but all this accomplishes is annoyance at the exploiters not cheaters. In my opinion Valve being soft on cheaters to sell games and skins is ludicrous.

      I see cikame. So VAC isn't reliable enough at this time. Nuts. AzaleaBC and Zips has a point too. If you're raising awareness, this is counter-productive and accomplishes next to nothing. Open the discussion in public forums, play in private games (or servers with active admins), or quit completely if it's too much of a problem.

      Are reserved slots still a thing, or did that die off after CS 1.6?

      Traditional Community servers are very much a niche thing in CSGO, so other than matchmaking there's third party PUG services such as ESEA, FaceIt and CEVO which tend to have far fewer cheats (apart from free FaceIt).

      More options than I imagined.
