Player models are meant to be strictly aesthetic.
When individuals find - and abuse - exploits in them like Benny Bologna, it is ultimately staffs responsibility to make a decision between policing users and making sure they don’t do it, or removing the cause of the issue. Regulars and staff have acknowledged Benny for exploiting player models for a good amount of time now.
At this point, I consider what Benny has been doing to be intentional exploiting while purposefully gaining an unfair advantage against others. In fact, I believe the one of the coolest skins recently added, Spaceman, was removed largely to Benny exploiting it. I believe that some type of punishment should be in order and the availability of certain player models should be up to admins discretion.
Staff can either keep a watchful eye with the help of players while using Ban Requests to deal with issues that arise in further intentional exploitation OR the player models that can be exploited should be removed immediately which may adversely affect how player models are maintained/added to the server in the future.
Whatever decision is made should set a precedent.

If it’s a single model that’s one thing to look into and remove. Anything actually broken, and no I don’t mean whatever person 3246 claims is broken, should be fixed or removed where possible yet when it’s the same person going out of their way to break mechanics and models then the common issue really isn’t the model anymore.

I agree with most people that there must be some of punishment. We've seen this problem being abused with the spaceman and now that it was removed, we are seeing with the Chloe model. People, especially Benny, know what they are doing. I understand it takes some time to get these things removed or fixed, but it's also easy to put punishments on people exploiting them in the mean time. Obviously it's a server problem for putting this model on the server, but to full on abuse it is another thing.
Even if they do remove the model, what is there to say they won't find another model to exploit? I think it is just easier to make a new rule here or have this fall in the rule of exploitation.

It's fair to say that regardless of the potential fix coming to this model / crouch jumping, the model should be temporarily disabled for now. If the fix works/arrives, reenable it.

That's screaming it's intentional intentional
