He's talking about this. Afaik it only took a screen of your TF2 & whatever a cheating client would show in the game if one was injected, not anything else on your PC. It caught out a lot of people playing on any servers running the plugin using wallhack etc. like https://imgur.com/B9UjE or https://imgur.com/CrJOb.
Valve patched out the method at some point according to AnAkkk, likely due to the privacy concerns.

I've been trying to access the comp.tf wiki since yesterday, but I'm only getting host errors.

Hey!
As an EU observer/producer I'd like to ask for feedback on the current state of watching 6v6 matches in EU/NA/OCE/etc., for both online and offline productions.

What makes a match fun to watch in your opinion? Is there anything you think could be improved, or are there any specific things you like or dislike about the camera work? Perhaps some things were done better in the past that you miss in current broadcasts?

To the play-by-play casters who work with the observer feed whenever it's available: What can the observer do to make casting easier for you? Do you have any gripes when it comes to the camera work?

I'd like to work on something related to this topic, so any feedback would be very appreciated.

I'd say it affects us too as in the past few months there have been multiple instances of individuals using bots to mass invite spam players/streamers to freeze their game, forcing official matches to be rescheduled and casts to be recorded offline.

According to the Twitter account in the OP, the game was originally inspired by Half-Life and Portal aesthetically, probably back when the project was still called Citadel. It was changed to Dota/fantasy because of "bad feedback".

I recommend reading through the site's TOS. I don't know enough about gambling laws, but parts of it read shady and it is riddled with grammatical errors. https://www.tf2easy.com/tos

Some highlights:

I can also faintly remember that tf2easy used uberchain's art at some point without crediting her or asking her for permission. I cannot use archive.org atm to check for an old version of the site, but I was able to find these after some digging:

Where have you got this from? At least during the time I helped out at RGL, AC admins have had zero access to player behaviour reports nor discussions of the RC team. So even if they wanted to, AC cannot provide any input on those types of bans unless RC requests their help to identify an alt or smth. The staff members who can ban people iirc are limited to head admins, but they only ban after an investigation was made by either the RC or AC team. It very much happens like stated in RGL's FAQ: https://docs.rgl.gg/league/faqs/misconduct/

I realise you want to keep it 'casual' and all, which probably means no class limits or weapon restrictions, but:

Please consider replacing all payload maps. It's just not fun to play in 6v6 and I would suggest putting maps that are both played in leagues and were put into the game officially (https://docs.rgl.gg/league/map_history/6v6/).

Haven't tried this myself but might be a fix.
