Oh, and when I said his ping was fine and pointed out the numerous threads about this on the forums, sn0w replied "what about you let me decide what's acceptable on MY server you f**** ******" :o

If that's the case then it really should be implemented. I've ran into a ton of people today glitching across the map with nearly 400-700 ping. It's just not one person. It's usually a whole group of people. I understand it's an international server but honestly there are people who connect from the same area with lower ping. It really does disrupt game play and is quite aggravating. I also understand where you guys are coming from when you say "There would be less people", but there will be more satisfied people who can enjoy their favorite server without any disruption. My two cents from someone you've never seen before on the forums ^_^.

Funny, lots of the time I see people with ~100 ping, and still skipping across the map. You know why? Well, it's because of rates, rather than latency. If your rates are set accordingly, then you should have no trouble. It's peoples rates not being set that causes their lag, rather than their ping. Lowering the ping limit wouldn't fix skippy people.

Maybe I should post a screen shot sometime of 13+ people have 400+ latency =\. Yeah rates could possibly be another thing but when I see people skipping around I always check latency first and that's usually the case. You're right about people having -100 ping and still skipping around, that's just terrible internet and needs to be resolved. I also have to change my rates from 67 (Guessing server settings) to 100 every time I go into the Awps server.

tl;dr Rates could be the issue.
