Disabling VoxelMap radar: did it work for you?

[HBY]

I'm not trying to start another discussion whether or not VoxelMap should be included in Feed the Beast modpacks, there are too many of those already.
I'm just wondering: did you try to disable the VoxelMap radar and cave mapping using the MotD and did it work?

The MotD-way: http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/1aavqe/disable_voxelmap_radar_for_pvp/
I tried it, and for me it didn't work. But apparently for some people it works, for others it doesn't, and some people even report that it suddenly started working after a while. Just trying to get some numbers using a poll.

Works for me (after a while), see here for the original full discussion:

Strange: I tried that before. Didn't work then, after several hours of playing and several server restarts, and now it works right away.

Works for me, in Essentials (the Bukkit version)
