I never play RMG maps, but when I did last week, I found out to my horror that skins with shaders GLOW in the fog. This is worse if you're sniping. I have reported this fact to Everbalance and it'll be up to them to treat shaders as cheats or not. I know a lot of skinners rely on shaders almost exclusively, but that's the way it is. Shaders let you CHEAT. I'll set the example by releasing all my future skins without shaders, and suggest that you all do the same. I will also re-release all of my best shadered skins without them. DEATH TO SHADERS!!!

If they have the shadered skins, make an unpure server, join it, quit and then join a pure server, it'll work some times.

Yes, they can. But that's like learning a kid can drown by finding one floating face down in the lake.

A well known fact to ANYONE reading these forums. Thanks for the heads up FRAGGER. It wasn't that long ago that we caught and banned a few from our server for using glowing green player skins. This helps to explain that even more.
