POV Demo bug that may cause your POV Demo look like your using cheats (Explaining the bug, showing example etc.)

So there was hour ago post saying that this dude got disqualified because his POV demo looked like he had "r_drawothermodels 2" (which is basically a wallhack command for CSGO, protected by sv_cheats 0 command so you cannot use it in public servers) on even tho he didn't have it. Luckily in his case they anyways lost the match so this disqualifaction didn't change the out come of the match but in future, it may cause player to get disqualified wrongly unless it get fixed.

Video explaining and showing the bug

If you dont mind watching me speaking shitty English for 9 minutes here is how you can test this yourself in 2minutes:

1.Go to basically any server, MM, Faceit, FFA, KZ. (At this point, you can check that sv_cheats is set to "0" and r_drawothermodels is at "1")
2. Start POV demo recording by typing record demonamehere
3. Type any sv_cheats 1 protected command (I haven't tried this with any other than r_drawothermodels but i'd believe this works with all other also for example fov commands), for example r_drawothermodels 2. Your POV shouldn't happen anything.
4. Type stop or exit the server to stop recording demo.
4.1 At this point, you can confirm that your still on sv_cheats 0 and r_drawothermodels 1.
5. Go watch the POV demo and the command should get activated in demo even if it didn't in your orginal POV.

Like said, luckily in this case the bug and disqualifaction didn't cause any huge disaster as they had lost the match anyways in overtime, but in future this can easily cause wrong disqualifactions etc if this doesen't get fixed.
