True, I wasn't trying to say he/she shouldn't be allowed to post, it's 
just the the post was pretty much pointless. I equate it as about on the 
same level as if someone just went around and posted "yoo ar dum" as a 
reply to every post they see. It was rather pointless. . . I hope the 
poster realizes that the person they're talking trash to might be a 
modder, , or might decide to NOT be a modder. I Mod for UT2004, and 
don't for CS:S just because of too many CS:S pricks that made me not 
want to waste my time and effort on a game full of assholes. Somehow, it 
seems CS:S babies have mostly grown up.

That's exactly what I was getting at. You see some players, you KNOW 
they have some auto-jump crap going on. You can tell because their jumps 
are SO consistent, even when they NEED to jump up onto something, they 
mis-time the jump UP, because it didn't sync with their jumping rhythm. 
A real person would have pause or whatever to make the timing for jump 
up correct. I understand that the name of the game is Unreal 
(literally), but it's just so stupid looking and seems so stupid. I 
understand the about jumping and dodging, but to be able to do so 
constantly, and so excessively, is just retarded.
