Enabling Sprays
Enabling Sprays
This might get shot down in flames but can we have sprays enabled? Maybe use a plugin to allow those only who register? It might even drive people to sign up on here.
Pretty please?

Re: Enabling Sprays
There's plenty of good reasons why sprays aren't allowed. One of the best reasons; if you open a VTF editor (VTFEdit for example) and go through the directory that saves sprays from other people (steamapps/common/team fortress 2/materials/temp), you'll notice a good number are pretty offensive considering our standards. My own directory has several that are suggestive or involve cuss words and at least four of them are outright pornographic. I know there's mods that display players' names that sprayed sprays when you look at them, but it's fairly difficult to enforce offensive spray images and it's better off to outright restrict them.
I also noticed that close to a third of that temp directory involves MLP-related sprays. As if ponies aren't everywhere already.

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

Re: Enabling Sprays
Sprays are absolutely prohibited due to the seriously offensive nature of so many that get used. I don't imagine this will be changed unless and until the culture of the internet changes. They add nothing to the game, and can turn a server in to a fetid heap of garbage with the press of a key.

Re: Enabling Sprays
But yeah, pretty much everything Alizee said. They really add absolutely nothing to the game except offensive, immature crap.
I am the 1%!

Spray something that gets attention then backstab
In almost every server that allows sprays, I see anime hentai

What about as a supporter perk?
Just throwing it out there to try and at least give the suggestion some merit-- though, I very much agree with most, but I would like to think that at least supporters would know better.

Re: Enabling Sprays
Our servers are sv_pure 2 which prevents all custom content, including sprays. To allow sprays, we would have to switch to sv_pure 1 and add an exception, and there's really no good reason to do so.

Obligatory gif:
Sprays add nothing of value to the game and open the door for a plethora of rule violations.

Re: Enabling Sprays
This is really the only reply you need. The gifs, while funny and apropos at times, feel rude and almost hypocritical of the thing you are denouncing. Love it or hate it I don't think gifs are really the way to go about it.Stevo wrote:Our servers are sv_pure 2 which prevents all custom content, including sprays.
