Disallow Bind Tests

We all know what I'm about to say is true, and we all know why this suggestion is being made. 99% of the time, "bind tests" and adverting "false" are simply minge/troll/loophole-y ways of being allowed to advert things like "Overthrow", and "I challenge the PK order". While it might have been funny when the first person did it, it has now simply become a loophole in the rules. Garry's Mod has an EXTREMELY easy method of testing binds properly (without having to abuse advert chat) by typing key_listboundkeys in console. This lists all binds you have properly defined by using the Garry's Mod console.
My suggestion is that we disallow the use of loopholes in advert chat. This would mean disallowing the use of "false" and disallowing the use of "bind test" in order to get around rules. If you have an overthrow bind, you can test it via the aforementioned method. If you have a bind like that, you should be careful to not press it. If you are someone who has the authority to even call for an "Overthrow", you should be responsible enough to not "accidentally" press your bind for it. It's quite simple, actually.
My suggestion for getting past this is to simply render the use of "bind test" and "false" adverts as a void advert. It should not affect the adverts you have previously stated. Hence, if you were to advert "Overthrow" then "False", the latter would be rendered void and you would have started an overthrow.

This at one point was banned, I dunno what happen to the rule. (Pretty sure it was because we were all saying "Overthrow" with binds as the OP says)

Jake if you advert overthrow and say false or it’s a bind test it’s in character either way so he can be exiled or something even if it is a bind test

To my knowledge bind tests arent allowed, I dont a low people to do them when I am on anyways...... so not sure how it has changed recently, but I won't punish someone for accidentally hitting a darkrp bind once in a year, as for the whole bind test thing, yeah it shouldn't happen, will look into it though.

Theres people on the server that do bind test and theres people that follow them and start doing there bind test as a meme, it happened when I played at least.
