Alright, ok, maybe I am a little harsh in the way that I word my posts, but I'm certainly not trying to be.

I thought that was a small amount of information, especially in comparison to my previous posts. I was trying to keep it short because I knew people would skip over it. I guess I just can't rely on people to not skip over short posts.
I like to put in lots of detail because detail is important. Without enough detail, you could easily get lost. Which has happened to me numerous times in the past.

I do everything that you typed on a daily basis. -insecure, map <mapname>, whatever. None of it lets me be an admin in L4D2. I don't use lobbies because I find it to be easier to use "map <mapname>" instead.

Thank you for the clarification on why sm_admin doesn't work, though.
As far as I can remember, I never got a definitive answer for that.
As time goes on, I believe more and more that Google's just a load of garbage and doesn't understand what I'm searching most of the time.

Thank you for offering to help. I am sorry for sounding like a jerk, that was definitely not my intention.
