Why is using cheats in vanilla srb2 not client sided?

[Ceru1088]

When i was playing srb2. I wanted to go outside egg rock act 1. So i typed in noclip. Then i got bored. And joined a server. AND BOOM. it thought i had mods loaded in. I checked my srb2 folder. And i had no mods loaded in. I dont know if this is a bug or somthing to do with the game. Because i already completed the game.

cheats flag the game as "modified" so that the game won't save or give you unlockables after you cheat. (for example if you wanted to use noclip to skip egg rock, you could but it wouldn't save afterwards)

the fact that you can't join a server also applies here. the game doesn't want you cheating in a multiplayer server.
