What do I mean by this?

LOL I know this is a really old thread, but I am posting this as future generations who come across this, may benefit.
There's really nothing about lying or deception. Server browser of just about CS shows the bot tag or number. Just right click and enable it. Even if you just right click on the server info to see who are playing, it shows "-1s " for bots.
Bot ping is wrong only when used without mentioning the server has bots, esp in 5v5 pugs or warmod servers or any competitive game modes.
But it's just hilarious when used in DMs, GGs, & Pub servers. The reactions are priceless. These servers are more light hearted and I see no harm or deception in impersonating bots in this case. If you are noob enough not to figure out a server has a bot, then you probably should be bot pinged lol.
Moreover it depends if you want to be on Valve's master server list or not. As long as you are not on their list, you are not breaking their rules because they longer have any say on your server. I'd be happy for my "non-serious" servers to be on gametracker or setti lists. Lastly I'd like to thank alliedmodders for not taking down the plugin page completely. I saved both the page and the source code. A lot of tools, guis, skins and configs of that (CSS) era are vanishing. Those that are in active development are mostly Russian closed groups
.
Btw I am sorta of on a copy pasta streak about my views on this plugin. Pardon me.
Have a Good Game.
