I had seen some plugins like https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=252815 saying it was violating the Valve rule.

I want to ask will
Code:
SDKHooks_TakeDamage(g_iFarmer[client], client, client, 1337.0, 135270528, Activeweapon);
TF2_RespawnPlayer(g_iFarmer[client]);
//loop..
violating the Valve rule?

and how will violating the Valve rule "cheating without hacking"?
What Valve think "Cheating" is?

Maybe something to do with boosting TF2 stats or levels etc. etc. using server mods.

Apparently one fellow from Facepunch had modified this plugin to make it work for listen servers. Somehow, that modified plugin lightly DDoSed the Steam servers because of how many people were using it and all the duck levels being saved to the servers.

Because of that, combined with his using a SteamBOT to spam the comments of specific people's profiles that he had a grudge against, he earned himself a lengthy Steam community ban which was recently removed.

I've been told that Valve views this plugin as a form of cheating without hacking, and they are apparently pissy because they can't fix it. Because I'd rather not get myself another community ban (been there, had one that lasted a year due to having "FuckMaxOfS2D" in my Steam name which is a long story) I am removing the download of this plugin as well as my duck spawning snippet.

I am abiding by Valve's wishes, and I suggest you all do the same.
