:Well it's pretty self explanatory. point_clientcommand makes whatever client that triggers it execute commands on themselves. So if the client is in SP mode, they can run both server and client commands. If the player is on an internet server, they're limited to the command list that the server allows. So you aren't going to find players banning other players with this on an MP server (unless the server is pacsteam based or other such warez, in which case it's unknown how it would work.)
:One exception would be if the server has cheats enabled. With cheats enabled, clients could find a way to use point_clientcommand maliciously. It would at most be limited to the victim player disconnecting from the server with possibly corrupt config files. point_servercommand could be exploited the same way, but the malicious user could use it to basically take control of the server.

Could we see a list of what, if any, client commands are/aren't allowed to be run on a player? Fry 00:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Well it's pretty self explanatory. point_clientcommand makes whatever client that triggers it execute commands on themselves. So if the client is in SP mode, they can run both server and client commands. If the player is on an internet server, they're limited to the command list that the server allows. So you aren't going to find players banning other players with this on an MP server (unless the server is pacsteam based or other such warez, in which case it's unknown how it would work.)
One exception would be if the server has cheats enabled. With cheats enabled, clients could find a way to use point_clientcommand maliciously. It would at most be limited to the victim player disconnecting from the server with possibly corrupt config files. point_servercommand could be exploited the same way, but the malicious user could use it to basically take control of the server.
