standby = mild form of cheating to get ur rank high. u tend to see it more when u get into the 30+ ranks. it gives the host a few seconds to run around and kill people. it puts everyone in a blue screen except the host, but if the host does it for more than a few seconds, he risks being lagged out himself.

It's not as easy as it sounds... I personally think that it's not worth getting banned for a stupid symbol.
