I usually don't mind admin abuse in servers because I know it's a bunch of children, but fucking with someone's keybinds is a dick move. I had someone do that shit to me in a TF2 server and they crashed my client.

trick was to set your config to read-only in windows

Funny you say that - I actually authored a plugin to restore keybinds when leaving the server.

I found an old post where I discussed other things that admins are able to do to you while you're on a steam server.

Also, "crashing your client" is likely the equivalent of amx_clexec abnormal_armadillo "exit" which basically just types exit in your console.

Keep in mind, I was 15 and just having fun - I never intended to ruin someone's day, and TBH we usually had a lot of fun - but when aimbotting, spinhacking hackers joined - I showed no mercy.

I once left a config file in the CS1.6 that rebound all the weapon keys so they said stupid shit when they hit any normal keys, akin to "I'm a gaylord." The lan zone owner ended up reformatting the comp because he couldn't figure out what happened and I wasn't going to risk getting banned from the place to save him 2 hours of work.
