Hey guys. So we were playing on Goldrush and the server was pretty packed. But we had a guy(Wooot) on our team(Axis) who was doing sk like mad, and sense I'm only level 1 and was like the only admin I couldn't even warn. We told him to stop and then he says ,"Guess what ." Then all of a sudden a lot of people got taken of the server with the message,"Illegible message." So I'm wondering did the server like crash or could it have been this woot guy just being a jerk? If it was Woot I would suggest taking action because to do that over the sk is just not right. Well that's all I have to say. P.S. In my defense, I don't know much about computers so if it's not even possible to kick people like that I wouldn't know.

Its a script that sends a message to the server, much like if you say someting in chat, but it makes a message that is too big for the server to handle.
The result is that the extra data from that message overflows into client messages (the things the server is sending to players) and when the client cant understand that data, it disconnects.
Haxkers used to be able to use it to clear or even crash a server.... havent seen it in years, as it was fixed in 2.60. It is the ONLY thing I have seen that causes that particular error message en masse though....

Zo, you say that haxers use it to crash servers. Do you think it could have been this Woot fellow? It seems like it because right before several of us got kicked he said,"Guess what." To me that sounds like he's guilty.

I know who you are talking about devil, he was on the server for quite a few maps as well.. not just one single map.. with a 150 ish ping. Just thought id comment on this because I also saw this WoOoOoOot guy. I have also seen people come in and BAN everyone on the server before.. spooky! EDIT: not qaw, but another server I use to play at a few years back.
