Author Topic: Cheater Ban Times Doubled Unless You Provide Info (Read 17214 times)

jitspoe · « **on:** March 03, 2009, 11:50:21 AM »

I've decided to make a slight change in the way ban times work for cheaters. This has been done in the past with a few select people, but I might as well make it standard. You must be willing to provide some or all of the following:
- Demos of matches in question.
- All of the cheats you've used (don't send these to anybody but me, obviously, or put them on public download sites - cheat distribution has a stiff penalty)
- Any other files requested (textures, etc.)
- Who/where you got the cheats from.

Failure to do so will result in a doubled ban time (currently, a first time offense will result in a 64 day ban unless the info requested is provided). As always, ban times are subject to change. Also, don't lie. I log a lot of information and can usually verify the information given.

Was this shall i say "put into effect" because of what KIES posted in increasing ban time?

Sounds good to me. Time to bring down everyone associated with cheats/distribution.

The increased ban time for not giving your source of cheats should definitely help.

- Who/where you got the cheats from.

If people actually were required to share who/where they got their hacks from, I believe it would tremendously help. Hip Hip Hurray to Jits :]]]

I have a question. What is going to be the point of reporting people after we lay down the modified map list...Detection will pick up everything (but ratbots? I think this is actually detectable). Therefore it is pointless to report people. We have already seen that ratbots are not viable in most cases.

I remember some Quake2 mods had ratbot protection. I wasn't involved much with servers and such back then so I have no idea how it was deployed on the server.

Currently that may be the case, but since new variants could always come around forcing folks to give the cheat over could help with future detection or help Jits see the trends in how developers are trying to modify the hacks in the hopes it will be undetectable, etc.

And the ratbot example is a good one for forcing demos.

By the way, you mention the modified map list, which I assume is a list of cheaters who have been detected using modified maps. Is there actually such a list confirmed by Jits or the committee, or is this an assumption based on the fact that Cuso was caught?

you can always look at it this way. You will get a 64 day ban. If you come clean and give us the info before you are caught, the time will be cut in half to 32. This of course is to all of the modified map hackers, since your time is limited, come out now or be prepared :X

That is at least one committee member who believes in the list.

This will enable the comitte to find and bring down distributers of hacks even faster. If this sounds like a bad idea to you then there is something wrong with you.

All who cheat, can he get automatic ban?

firstly, it could be a she

and secondly, yes.

I think it's brilliant that people are getting punished properly for cheats! I'm presuming this doesn't apply to multi-accounts as some people just simply are n00bs and will just ignore the rules/forget them.
