pegusus123456 04/28/24 3:05:15 AM #2:	I'm not positive, but I would imagine it is. I think you can talk about the exploit itself, but you can't explain how to do it. So in your example, you could say that there's an exploit that let you launch sticky bombs into the enemy's spawn, but you can't explain how you would do that. --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Purple_Cheetah 04/28/24 3:50:25 AM #18:	Yeah, it's definitely been there and maybe I've just skirted around it somehow. Not using an actual game as an example, but it probably exists somewhere. Explaining to someone that's confused as to why they're getting destroyed in a game is due to an exploit that causes immunity would be fine. However, if you were to also include that it's by shoving an oil drum into a pillar, while holding B until you clip through the wall. Then it'd be moddable, as now you're spreading how to do it to on-lookers, who will only spread its use. <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:980133444] in Has it alw...
