Hey guys,
Today I played again on our server. It was totally okay.
But later, a few people jioned with a ping of 250 / 200. And the server immediately began to lag... Coz of this 2 guys.

So, would it not be better to set up a ping limit on the server, which kicks player with a to high ping automatically?

As an example, could we set the maximum ping at 150 and all other player which have a higher ping will be kicked automatically?

This method is often used on servers, and I think its great.

So what do you think about it?

We already have a ping limit and it's 350.
Today you experienced lag because we were trying to change tickrate a little.
We were experimenting in trying to make a better performance, but it proved to be lagging in multiple ways for most players.
The changes will be set back to normal soon.

Your reasoning is excellent -- it's only your basic assumptions that are wrong.

Which doesn't work when people use the command to hide their ping. When the server was suffering high and long lag spikes, i was often the only one left whereas the whole serv has been kicked
