We have sounded the alert and released a quick fix for an exploit that some unscrupulous players were using to wield items on invalid classes. I have considered an appropriate punishment for the good-for-nothings responsible for this horrendous breach of conduct. Death, of course - but death is too good for disappointments such as these. Instead, their unlockable items have been removed for a month.
To the majority of you who did not see fit to cheat, you have my congratulations: I await the countless other ways you will inevitably disappoint me in the future.

Lolwut? exploiting a harmless exploit = punishment?
Besides a scout with a flame thrower, i can't think of many classes whose weapons can do much damage in the hands of another. Might as well bar everyone who has gone civilian heavy from playing heavy for a month.
Has anyone been fucked by this?

Who was running around firing a blutsaugher, as a pyro, at
flamethrower speeds, reloading instantly. Made quite a spectacular
noise, and killed anything instantly.
Quite the opposite of harmless. Anyone who got "fucked" by it deserved it fully. Wish they had instituted something like this for the people crashing servers with the tampons and such.
This glitch has been around for awhile. I know quite a few of us have witnessed it first hand in the server. Why they would do something about it now I don't understand.
Coincidentally enough, I happened to get this glitch last night at TFT (was an engi with heavy weapons) completely by accident, and now today I was unable to access my unlocks. I don't know if this was just a problem connecting to steam or if they pegged me for "cheating" but if I can't use unlocks for a month I don't know what I'm going to do >

Because it's a different glitch than the one that's been around for a while.
+1 to Blues, it's a completely different bug. The old one was an exploit for the particular class limits plugin we use. The plugin was updated (though not in the main post) but I'm not sure if it ever got updated on all the servers.
I will now proceed to make fun of anyone that doesn't have unlocks because they're clearly a noob or a cheater.

Scout with rocket launcher, flamethrower, sniper, minigun, medigun, cloaking, or stickies.

Any other class with cloaking.

Wasn't she in Episode 2 as well? I remember them mentioning something in one of the commentaries about her being the only actor in the whole Orange Box.

And yeah, hopefully this doesn't fuck ppl for whom it occured thanks to the class limits plugin, because that'd happen at random to ppl sometimes.
