disclosing stuff in this way is common for software vulnerabilities, and 3 months is a generous amount of time if the fix does end up boiling down to "add a signature file to check this file wasn't tampered with". more info keyword is Coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

there are significant issues with keeping issues like this behind closed doors and only essentially leaking this information to certain parties:

• what stops them from leaking it to others who don't have good intentions?
  
• what is actually the common knowledge in the community as it is right now? we already knew about sv_pure bypass stuff with muzzle flashes and the like.
  
• can you imagine what league bans would look like? "why was i banned?" "you used an exploit." "which exploit?" "well we can't tell you since valve hasn't fixed it yet"

all community leagues were and are ill-suited for popularizing tf2's competitive play, and that's why there's no investment other than minor sponsors, individuals and private capital. it has nothing to do with the meta excluding classes.

I don't see why. if you instead have a rubber duck in your pocket that reminds you of good times then that's just as useful.

when i stopped playing competitive TF2 around a year ago, everything initially just crumbled. i wasn't in the best state when it came to my identity, i lost most contacts around the same time, i had manic/depressive episodes, my college course was fucked, i couldn't keep my job so i couldn't rectify my college or my dorm room so i had to move back in with my parents.

got some professional help in the meantime, and while i'm still not completely sorted out, i at least know who i am personally now. got ADs prescribed which started kicking in about a week ago (took way too long to get them because i don't have balls), so i'm not constantly dragging my mind through the darkness anymore and i got accepted for a traineeship so i can actually continue my study while having a job at the same time.

however, the one thing that really got me sorting myself out is getting in a relation. i've been in absolutely horrible ones before, and this one when we started, everything just stayed the same except we have each other now. i can't really describe it, with other relations sure i felt attracted but the emotional happiness i get from being with her is just inexplicable. we've been together for nearly 10 months now, and it's just been such a positive influence on my life.

oh yeah i also went down from 105 to 90 kilos in about 2,5 months which is absolutely wonderful. still not my goal of 80 but with this speed i'll be there in another 2 months

Ask her, or her husband, directly if there's anything you can help with. If you can do something for them that they asked you to do, that's the best.

That's disgusting. I'm just not sure how the community could help you, if the administration is related to this person. Other large people / communities could denounce the setting, but what does that do? I don't know about Brazil Fortress, but I assume they'd just chug on and that anyone with a voice is kicked out.

It's ridiculous that we've gotten to a point where communities need to explicitly state that pedophilia is not allowed. This should by all means fall under 1. breaking local laws and 2. admin discretion. If it's not treated as either, which this thread is showing right now, it really makes clear how much of a shitshow the smaller competitive communities worldwide are.

he mentioned in the video that it wasnt going to stay up and this thread is a perfect example of why he would delete it

no mince here, no deep freeze pizzas here, at least corn flakes were untouched

it's weird how panic shoppers work "yeah let's get the food that relies on appliances to work 24/7 and leave the dry store food alone"

hope to see you back soon tyler, massive inspiration

What happens now? Are you guys considering adjustments of the bans given to Nyar and/or Houston, do you have no intention of doing so, or are you still discussing this? Both in this thread and on the news post there hasn't been much information for either.

A VAC ban is really only a formality from what I can tell; even if they get unbanned on ETF2L, they still can't play on VAC servers, so they can't play any offis.

although I do agree with a harsher ban for cheaters

not an etf2l admin but this seems like a case where the person who got banned can easily get unbanned, or at least their time reduced, by talking to the admins. they're regretting their actions, so if they just go talk to someone and say something like "i'm sorry, i said that because {whatever}" it would be totally unreasonable for anyone to say "nah 5 years is 5 years GLHF" to that.
