The only way you going to fix the settings people play on is with stufftext or what ever it is and people will not go for that, clowns will always cheat, you can't stop them, they will find away so why add crap that isn't need, just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to or should. How I like my game to look or run isn't anyone's business but mine, as long as it's not a hack, seen somewhere something about forcing rates to 25000 because that's what the server was set to, who cares what my max rate is set to? Mine's set to 15000 because that's the best my connection can handle, the players max rate doesn't have anything to do with the server, changing a pinger's rate isn't going to help his ping just make it worse, I can understand wanting to and in some cases needing to fix some things, like sv_pure fixing that alone will stop most things, but then people will stop playing because they like their skins, scopes crosshair and stuff.
