Walkthroughs for custom maps.

You don't need to ask me. Simply presenting a position in the spirit of "let me just throw it out there and see how it sticks" doesn't make it more convincing.

And I don't have the goal of trying to convince anyone of anything. I expressed my opinion and that's it, I moved on (yeah, I crapped in your sweet honey pot). Sorry, guys, for barging into your cozy and chill topic where people start playing with visited tents, win on the first day playing as Red, use cheats, and call it a "Walkthrough." That word triggers me. It's absurd to me.
These are critical bugs in the game mechanics. Critically important. It's good when you're a tester in game development. But come on.

And then nwcredpill is also considered a Walkthrough. And anyone who talks about it seriously should also remember to take their pills.

//I understand.

with somewhat out-of-place mentions by respected people in this topic

But in my opinion, it's very much in place. And it's more about the era itself than about specific people. Back then, there was a culture of offline play. And you wouldn't even think about seriously talking about completing a map with cheats.
(And moreover, even for discussing bugs on the same forum, you'd get a slap on the wrist).

I still understand when complaints are made to players if they are unable to complete a map without using bugs, there is some reason for that.

But I don't understand how this can be called a Walkthrough in principle, regardless of whether the player is able to complete the map or not. It's just /trash

In that case, let them make Walkthroughs, even if they're standing on their heads, it won't say anything about their skill level, and even less about the skill level of other people in the topic.

Well, everyone does as they please, as they say, but it's not a Walkthrough.
"Just for fun," "for the lulz," or "mom, mom, look, I completed the map in one day," etc., but nothing more.
Put a disclaimer so as not to get confused. That's all from me.
