they do, really. they serve as an example of what is good policy.

Maybe someone else that has a strong opinion and cares to post can chime in here. Otherwise, i guess you're free to use the client. We have a weird process here on AC when it comes to issues like this..
edit: I just wanted to clarify that I don't agree with you using the client. We obviously have different views about what's acceptable or not, in this case. Your free to use it because everyone, especially those with authority, have definitely read this topic and don't care to reply or make any tough calls.
yeah, most of the people with authority are dense in the nostrils and unable to create structured arguments or consider other peoples' arguments critically. they simply don't listen or care to think of a proper response. i'd love to be proven wrong.
i had a discussion with larry over teamspeak on this issue.
he sucks at conveying arguments properly in a written format or he is selective with his information. i don't know.
he has a client. this client makes it so he ignore hit drops.
obviously, this gives a massive advantage over other players on non hit-fixed servers. the advantage is equal to that of a wall hack, spread hack, etc. in that it gives an extremely unfair advantage over the opponent. a player with equal aim to that of another will hit more bullets on average. all of his arguments and evidence to the contrary are bullshit.
thankfully, the vast majoirty of matchs are played on a hit-fixed server, rendering his client completely useless. unless..
in the situation where he uses the client on an un-fixed server, he has a clear cut advantage over everyone else, and is blatantly cheating, and this is the only situation where his client may cause an issue.
i suspect larry only made the client for servers which claim to be hit-fixed but in his opinion really aren't, in order to give himself a sense of security when playing. a player like larry, who is not at the top level of play and poor at critically improving themselves, requires that all variables that may be favoring the opponent to be either in his favor or on an equal playing field, which is an impossibility.
