There's one person who has been abusing the hell out of it lately. Can we put a rate limiter on it too (in case it is a hard fix)? As I usually play medical roles it's ridiculous. Thankfully one of those rounds was an antag round so I could just throw them in a locker instead of cloning.

Has anyone had success reproducing this locally?

[xRiriq]

Yes:

1. start local debug server
2. start 2 local debug clients
3. punch one client to crit

4. punch that same client to dead

Seems pretty straightforward to induce the state in question.

Ok, so it's dead players still being able to point, before turning into ghosts. OP said it was ghosts pointing, which is not the problem.

My mistake!

My mistake!

So if I understand correctly this has nothing to do with ghosts and is just about incapacitated players. In that case this is a duplicate of #2774 so closing this.

and as for @xRiriq's comment:

Can we put a rate limiter on it too (in case it is a hard fix)

pointing already has a 0.5s delay limiting the rate, which is fine IMO. Or was this being bypassed somehow?
