Today, I was slain on jailbreak for exploiting by jumping through the ceiling to see players in different parts of the map. In all the time I've been playing, I've abused this exploit numerous times, as have many other players, members, and admins. The general knowledge seems to be that it's allowed. It's not written explicitly anywhere in the rules, ingame or on forums, that exploits aren't allowed.

I suggest that if the exploiting isn't allowed, a rule that I think would be totally reasonable, it should be clearly outlined in the rules. It's clearly not obvious to most members that it's not allowed, so I think that putting it in the rules should make it more clear.

It's not immediately obvious to a player reading the rules or to a player who has played for a long time. Would a clarification hurt?

It's not obvious not to cheat and exploit a map?

My 2 cents is I don't get why the responses here seem forceful, but I understand where this guy is coming from. Yeah, common sense proves that you normally wouldn't try to exploit a map on purpose, but sometimes people are like "oh cool, i didn't know this existed" and might use it without knowing that it was specifically banned.

But that's just my opinion.

My 2c
If you cannot use clipping edges to look at poorly designed maps, then you should not be able to shoot through walls not intended to be wall banged (i.e lego jail pit) either. In a game mode where T's literally have to find "secrets" to gain advantages against the CTs, it seems like it fits right in when these things exist, just like missing textures making you invisible and other glitchy hiding spots that aren't banned. Making something like this illegal seems pretty petty.

Just for the record, even in competition games I remember shooting through the roof on cs_italy being allowed.
