If having a high ping is an issue that should simply be a kick. Most modern games generally have a way to prevent people with a high ping from playing. Lag compensation techniques also reduce the problem to some extent. I imagine OP is talking about CS in goldsrc which absolutely had bad netcode for high ping, still fun as hell though.

High ping / jitter could be used as an intentional cheating mechanism in the days of the lag switch through.

See my reply to your parent. You are spot on. This was CS way before the "I hate CS 1.6 and will forever stay on 1.5" days.

The kids these days don't know what normal pings looked like back in the day.
