Well I can understand why Valve did it, a lot of people were getting sick of abusive admins and rateforcers.
I have a pretty strict etiquette for admins (as you can read in my guide), as I think admins should be and give the example. That means they shouldn't go amok on people and change their names and stuff like that.
One thing that's been bothering me since the beginning is this whole rate crap going on. People just dont seem to realise what they actually are and imo rate forcing is absolutely unnecessary. I hate it when I join a server with rates of 101/101/30000 I either get kicked or they get changed to 66/66/10000, even worse or the old classic 25000 setting, I didn't set those bloody values for nothing!
I always say, CL stands for CLIENT, which means NOT for the server but for the PLAYER. Of course the sucky admins blew it for the rest of us, I much rather have the client exec commands to work so I can actually help clients that can't seem to get it working and stuff like that. At least it stops the abuse, but that's really all what's good about it.
