Hello Rule,
After discussing the suggestion in question with other Community Team members, we have decided to accept it. I've also decided to take the server under my wing, for the time being - do occasional updates, patches, fix any issues, etc. I'll be integrating a ConVar (as instructed by the rest of the CM team) for the velocity restriction which will allow us to more easily re-enable it, should this accepted change fail to help the server (or alternatively I might just pull the plug, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
If anyone has any suggestions/ideas, feel free to contact me directly via TeamSpeak. Discord, Steam, or make a new thread.
Thank you.
