Actually this update is pretty good, I like the small but good QoL changes to improve our chances against cheaters.

This.

Thank you for saying this. Why would someone build a business that doesn't make money?

If people don't play for money, why not take some of that profit to, I don't know, compensate those who are literally running your league day-in-day-out?

Apologies for misunderstanding. Your point of running a league is completely true. If you cannot dedicate your time and effort to run what would be considered a business and manage volunteers then you should leave for someone else to step up to the act, and if that person can't, and so on.

This is false, and keeping this mindset is what is preventing people from working together. You all assume no one likes each other or that the capable people just don't care.

You know what? Most of those positive bullet points are achievable very easily. There's many very talented and committed developers in this community, and furthermore, there's many tools available now that can significantly help with creating these.

I don't understand why it's a fucking burden for sigafoo to update his site. How is it that your site from 2017 is as bad as one from 2008? How the fuck is it possible for someone to create a company and not put effort into it once it works?

The site isn't bad because it's written poorly- it's bad because it's neglected. No one that I know of is updating the site except when sigafoo needs to add some tool for the admins to (ab)use. It's sad that a business someone created is not being updated because they'd much rather sit and cruise while not earning a profit off their side business, rather than trying to improve the system for the community and pioneering it to become profitable (it's certainly possible!).

Also, I agree with trippa. Ringer fees are kinda fair, and even if I hate paying to play for an rgl game, it's still quite good compared to what we had in the past. No reason to shit on them for that, in fact, it's quite petty to do that.

it wasnt an anti-cheat to begin with

Everyone here who complains about RGL decisions but decides to continue and pay and play are part of the problem. If you don't like it, don't pay and start playing pugscrims or scrim-only teams if you say you don't care about the money.

Order doesn't matter as long as it doesn't break your game

I'll bet that if I was a Valve engineer working on tf2 and I had to stare at my screen at that code for any more than I already had for that day, I would probably say it would be time for a vacation.

Ported over the website to React and deployed it, moved repo to an organization.

Word around the block says Discord has something in store in mid-late June, waiting for that release to update commands. In the mean time, I'll be working on some basic dashboard functionality.

If you like my work, consider supporting me on patreon.

reasons this couldn't be ported and supported first party by demoticks.tf?

You know what, that's not that flawed of logic for me to be at least semi-content with that response. They did kinda give you why, the what, and how of your ban, sorry it had to end this way.

i.e. they had rules that stated what is considered cheating, even if I don't agree with it, so it makes sense why the ban was placed.
