LANDSHARKING
Landsharking is when a player uses a glitch in the map to their advantage. Usually the person will appear as if halfways underground. This will also not be tolerated, as it is taking advantage of a flaw within the game, and is considered cheating.

If you are found to be landsharking, you will be warned. If you do not stop, you will be kicked, and possibly banned from the server.

😱

I remember this from my MOHAA:S days.

Landsharking is when your character model is actually moving in the ground, as viewed by other players. The model is hard to see and kill, and is therefore considered cheating. The model usually pops his chest up from the ground when it shoots, etc. When you are landsharking, your vision is normal, just as if you were not landsharking. It is usally acheived by some sort of ladder-glitch (MOHAA:S) or by finding a hole in the map and jumping down (MOHAA:S as well).
