!sync command misused

[bukka]

This is especially for hosts, I think you should disable sync or just give some rules for using it. 99% of host don't even know what does sync does. It really makes me mad, they just !syncmax at the beginning of the game, and when I complain about it, he just mutes the global chat(I am often at Scourge) or ignores me. And then when people lag they get killed. In this topic everything is explained: http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/topic,62383.msg199045.html#msg199045
and you admins and mods should put a rule for all host, or ban host that don't know how to use it.
Do something please.

i totally agree with u .. how many games actually we play 5v5 games till end? probably less than 50% and most of them (i can say 80%) 1 person actually dc after host type synclimit max .. and he actually dont care at all

most of hosts dont actually know what is sync max and after i tell them not to do that they just dont care and cant wait actually atleast 30 secs till the person is back but no host must go ahead and type sync max and then someone (trying to reconnect with gproxy)he die without reason like i did in this game

and for ppl who dont lag .. trust me it ruin game for ppl who rly lag

P.S in my opinion synclimit max should be 300 instead of 500 but thats up to myubernick but i rly hope him to reconsider this

I agree with bukka.
Many players/hosts don't know what sync/latency does.
I'm sick of telling them what sync does coz it is always the same:
1) Player X lags, game gets paused.
2) Player A,B,D,F and G start telling "SYNC HOST IDIOT" one by one.
3) I tell them that sync max will not help him.
4) They call me idiot.
5) Host set sync max, game continues.
6) They call me idiot again and tell me "C? Hes ok now"
7) Player X gets pwned and after few minutes he lags again or he leaves.

So I agree that !sync command should be disabled or so. In that topic "sync and latency explained" there is idea to make it bannable coz host sets sync max-->you can't do anything but game continues-->you get pwned and than you see the game fast forwarded. So it can be breaking of rule "Game ruining - Sabotaging Teamates."
Will it change?

and thats why my simple solution is making the synclimit max is 300 instead of 500
