***WARNING*** STRAFE JUMPING/AIR STRAFING NO LONGER TOLERATED!

Aug 24 @ 4:29am - verbal.NuffSaid

DBAD is Player Supported via Donations. Everyone is welcome to play here with only one enforced rule since its founding...DON'T BE A ♥♥♥♥. Most principled, responsible and conscientious people understand wtf D.B.A.D. refers to. Players from around the world have regularly visited the DBAD family server to relax and enjoy the social ambiance, the fun and thrill of our style of Counter-Strike 1.6 gameplay for nearly 15 years. Our banned list has grown full of ♥♥♥♥♥, pricks, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, cheats and trolls, and will continue to grow in the effort to keep DBAD's +reputation clean. Ever since allowing unlimited multi-jumps during gameplay about 3 years ago, several players have taken advantage of this DBAD server game setting by the OBVIOUS use of advanced variations or hardware aids, where the line crosses into "Exploitation", which is why these techniques, including b-hopping, are not allowed in so many CS 1.6 clan servers.
If you would like to have a better understanding as to why this has become a "major" issue worthy of expulsion, may I suggest jumping (no pun) to the in-depth "EXPLANATION" section following this very bold and loud statement. So, keep reading and become enlightened.

THIS iMESSAGE APPEARS PERIODICALLY AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN WHEN PLAYING OR SPECTATING IN THE DBAD SERVER....
***WARNING*** AIR STRAFE JUMPING NO LONGER TOLERATED / PERM BAN!
AS WELL AS THIS SCROLLING MESSAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN WHEN PLAYING OR SPECTATING IN THE DBAD SERVER....
***WARNING*** PERMANENT BAN! AIR STRAFE JUMPING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED / PERMANENT BAN!
ANYONE WHO ENTERS THE SERVER WILL SEE THESE ***WARNING*** MESSAGES. . . .NO EXCUSES CONSIDERED. NO APOLOGIES, PERIOD.

EXPLAINATION:
These techniques are recognized as fundamental, skill-based movement mechanics inherent to the GoldSrc engine. Air strafing is the base mechanic of changing your direction and gaining speed while in the air (using a sideways movement key and matching mouse movement). Strafe jumping is a specific, chained-together sequence of jumps—like bunny hopping—that uses air strafing to continually build speed without losing momentum on the ground.
While these mechanics originated from a Quake engine bug that bypassed the maximum speed cap, they became a defining element of the Counter-Strike skill gap and are considered basic "advanced" gameplay. GENERALLY.
Ever since allowing unlimited multi-jumps during gameplay, there has been obvious abuse of this game setting. While basic air strafing is considered "legal" when done manually, it is very obvious that is not the case most of the time, considering the ease of using advanced variations or hardware aids as described here:
>Automated Scripts & Macros: Using a script or macro to perfectly time multiple strafes or bunny hops is universally considered cheating. You must input the mouse and keyboard movements (A or D synchronized with mouse panning), ENTIRELY MANUALLY (not easy).
>Ground Strafing / Russian Walking: Binding duck to the mouse scroll wheel to perform Ground Strafing (SGS/GS) allows players to glide silently at extreme speeds. Many competitive 5v5 local servers ban this specific variation because it breaks hitbox configurations and removes footstep audio.
>FPS Manipulation: On standard 100 FPS servers, bunny hopping and multi-strafing have built-in speed caps. Altering client settings or exploiting high FPS (e.g., 1000 FPS) to artificially multiply your airborne acceleration, and WILL BE TREATED AS AN EXPLOIT & SERVER OFFENSE!

**NOTICE** A few players that have recently been banned have been unbanned due to the fact that the ***WARNING*** MESSAGES were not showing up on-screen for the past 30+ days as was intended to provide fair warning. I hope this helps you to better understand wasap.
HAPPY GAMING!

PROTECT YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT FROM SCAMMERS

Jul 28 @ 5:29pm - verbal.NuffSaid

DO NOT GET HACKED! Continue reading . . .

STEAM SCAMS have been around since Steam gaming platform began 25 years ago. They may appear as request from a "Steam friend" to assist them some way. They may offer something of value. Always beware when a "friend" ask you to click on a link to vote for their team. It may provide you with a URL link that requires using your Steam login to access a website. The friends message may look harmless, yet that friend's acount may have already been stolen, meaning the entity sending the message is NOT your friend.

DO NOT USE YOUR STEAM LOGIN TO ACCESS UNKNOWN or UNTRUSTED WEBSITES - EVER!

DON'T RISK COMPROMISING YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT!
What may seem like a harmless request from a Steam friend MAY ACTUALLY be a friends' compromised Steam account in the hands of a nefarious entity attempting to steal or hack your Steam account.

DO NOT GET BAITED - BE SURE TO USE DISCRETION WHEN ACCESSING A STEAM MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE IN YOUR FRIEND LIST.
THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED.
THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.
