For the record, I am not a bunnyhopper. I've even tried to do it to see how it works but clearly don't have the phearsome l337 skilz!!1! required. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
However, I did once do it accidentally, and I've never heard this particular form mentioned before, so I thought I'd report it so it could be dealt with appropriately. Also, it can only be done in a few places so isn't likely to cause major problems.
In ns_hera there are a number of sloping vents that a marine can get into (e.g. from the cargo room next to marine spawn). I was in there once, crouched as you have to be in a vent, slowly climbing up the slope. I heard a skulk nearby so turned around and continued backing my way up the slope. Just out of curiosity I tried to jump and to my suprise I shot up the vent at high speed each time I hit jump. No tricky mouse-work, timing or strafing against walls involved, just jumping backwards up a sloped vent while crouched (I said it was in pretty rare circumstances).
If this will be caught by the anti-bunnyhopping code, fine, but if not should it be?

It aint gona be an fn stamina bar, probably simply going to cap ari accel or something like that
I remember flay saying that there will be no stamina bar style thing in NS (this was pre 1.0).
if marine bunny hops you can
1. as skulk bunny hop after them AND faster
2. as gorge web them
3. as lerk shoot of fly faster than them
4. shoot them with acid rockets or blink
5. charge.
