looks like the ban times are the same regardless of admitting it or not. hm..... weird.

i believe that "knowingly" crashing servers falls under the hacking category. although i don't entirely believe a 32 day
ban is the best solution. but, crashing servers hinders the ability for people to enjoy the game, such as wallhacking and speedhacking. there is currently no sub category for hacking bans that let the culprit off easy by openly admitting what he has done.
i know that this is a new situation that has come up hard and caused some trouble. but, by only banning sonny and making an example is just wrong. sure the way he used this "exploit" was poor judgment on his part, but lets not forget that he wasn't the founder of this exploit, nor was he the first to release the info to others.
if you are going to ban anyone, track down the the person who first discovered this, and make an example of him. not someone who was given the information and used it for his own entertainment.
everyone who used this on a server that was not their own, whether it was for "testing" or not, deserves the same ban time as the others, period.
i have to admit now(not because i want to be let off easily, but because i want to leave with a clear conscience.) i used this exploit to crash around 5-6 US servers, that had atleast 10+ people. so i will be expecting a ban anytime soon, and am anxious to see what the ban time will be for this infraction. i also, have to admit that i used ZGH and this ban will be on top of the 32 day ban i will receive when jitspoe gets settled and checks his logs.
that is all for now.
