You sample randomly to discourage cheating. not because they think those people are cheating, but to make the risk higher of being caught if you do.
A simple example is a cashier asking you to open your backpack if you took it with you in their store. They don't think you stole anything. They ask it to make sure people who intend to steal are discouraged to come into that store and fill their backpacks

As setsul mentioned, exceptional treatment happening is like half the reason RGL threads are made. If he'd not have been banned for this, a thread might've been made of someone complaining admins are giving exceptions while their own teammates got banned for it

I made that one. It was based on his diabotical crosshair. Dropbox link was dead but here's a reupload of the folder I sent him.
The VTF file is 128x128. Any weapon you want to use it on will need its corresponding weapon .txt file edited because most (like the ones from cfg.tf) are 64x64

(or you can just copy this entire folder into custom instead of whatever VTFs you're using now)

30cm/360. my cool round number > your number (less cool and less round than mine)

A quick necro to point out an issue I had, but also fixed. In case anyone else runs into it in the future.
AVIrecorder stopped launching saying "No compatible games detected" or something along those lines

The program makes a txt file "games.kv" in the same folder it's placed in. I moved most of my steam library from my C drive to my D drive a couple months back. Changing the GameDir and Executable to reflect TF2's new directory fixed the issue.
CS:GO's lines remain unchanged so you can see what the issue was before with TF2. AVIrecorder kept checking my C drive for TF2 because of the <library> variable like with CS:GO

Also for anyone who hasn't used this program, it skips having to stitch TGA files together with virtualdub if you record through Lawena. I highly recommend it if you're still using vdub

imo simpler is better. You want it to be clearly visible at all times, but take up as little space as possible. much like any other HUD element basically.

crosshair3, crosshair5, crosshair6, crosshair7, brackets. All fine
If you're looking at custom ones you can consider outlines or shadows
Stuff like pilot crosshair or giant crosshairs just add clutter

If you go more obscure than a variation of a dot, cross or bracket you're probably overthinking things (and I say that as someone who has made and used some very questionable crosshairs in the past)

Just gonna post these bits here for people who don't want to read the article

limitations already were in place

now they're even stricter

solution found but I'll just give this tip to people who might still read this.
When there's a lot of quotation marks, split it into more aliases to make it easier on the eyes. Makes it easier to find bugs and helps with editing things later on

Missed an exam to go to i61. Wasn't even playing at LAN. I just wanted to meet my friends. Best time of my life

My only regret is leaving i61 a day early to study for the other exams

fixed it up for you :)
