Note - The following would be an option when creating a server, it would not be a change that affects all servers, only servers that have the options enabled.
I've noticed when I'm playing through in killing floor the increasing numbers of higher leveled players in normal mode and level 5's in hard mode, in some cases, even beginner servers.
I mean lets face it, a person spawning in with a flamethrower on wave #1 in normal and hard mode is a bit pathetic and it would limit people who want to use their level 5 perks to actually play more suicidal mode servers and if they're not good enough to do so, well thats their fault for using mutators and custom maps for the sake of leveling when they should be getting better at the game.
What I'm suggesting is a server option that limits perk levels over or under a custom value from being used on that server. If your perk level you select is over this value, it is set to the highest value the server allows for the duration you are on the server.
For instance, standard values (But not limited to)
Beginner - Perk level selected level 0 - 1 only
Normal - Perk level selected level 0, 1 2 and 3 only
Hard - Perk level selected level 2, 3 and 4 only
Suicidal - Perk level selected level 4 and 5 only
