Now, people who hog cmd_rates etc do lag the server.
Actually, it doesn't really change much, because the PD server is locked at 33u/33d updates a second, barely more than the 25u/30d that is the CSS default. That slight change does help with hit detection though when you shoot, since there are a couple more chances per second for the server to acknowledge you have fired and register a hit on your target.

People should not be kicked or banned for having bad pings. If its a problem, they'll get owned and eventually leave. Don't get flipping mad cow because a 56ker owned you and ban them, gosh! Tater tots rule!
