Talk:Exploits

Typing

Stuff like "click jump" or "click crouch" does not sound right. You don't click keys on your keyboard. You PRESS them. --Sadface 00:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Outdated?

Many of these exploits are patched but they are still present on the page. Ond kaja 20:08, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

If an exploit has been patched, please move it to the "Patched exploits" section -Firestorm 20:16, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Documenting current exploits

...it looks like there hasn't been a problem with it previously, but how do other people feel about it? Personally, I'm torn; yeah, we should be documenting as much as possible, and yeah, it is relevant, but we shouldn't be providing potential 'sploiters with ammo for their arsenal. I dunno. Thoughts? ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 01:36, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I've always wondered why there were step-by-step tidbits on how to perform these exploits, or mention unpatched exploits. Civilian I'm fine with but others just don't need to be revealed for information's sake. Same for glitches/bugs. --Vaught 01:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure we should be documenting how to do perform the exploits until they are fixed, but I don't see why they shouldn't at least be reported here. Usually the server owners report the bugs quickly to Valve and anything of a significantly game-changing nature is usually fixed within a few days, so harm would be kept to a minimum. Also, anything written here will have likely already done its tour on SPUF, so I doubt we could spread any information as quickly as they can. -- -- 02:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 I agree with this solution. Note that they exist, without posting specific instructions on how to do them. ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 02:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose If we say "these things are exploitable", some users are going to find out how to do them (whether by searching or experimenting in game). We don't want to be responsible for certain players having a bad experience because of information we've decided to list.-RJ 02:18, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 Comment So your opinion is that we should leave current, active exploits out of the game (at least for the PC version) entirely? ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 02:20, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 Comment We can't really document past exploits since some tend to make their returns, such as the sentry exploit. --Vaught 02:22, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 Comment So you're saying we should delete the Exploits page entirely? ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 02:25, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

 Support People will find out these exploits one way or another. I figure it's reasonable if we document them, but not how to do them. TheMedik 02:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

We shouldn't list active exploits that can have a negative influence on game-play, that's my opinion. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by RJackson (talk) • contribs)
