I've run into a few hackers running my TF2 server. We as server operators must work together to get rid of the riff raff. To accomplish that, we must be willing to trust each other.
"Proof" is nice, but the moment you put up a video, you'll have people (just for the hell of it) saying "Some people are just that good.", "LOL, you're just a noob.", "U Mad.", "Could you run these commands and check ...", etc. The ONLY thing that gets you banned from my servers is hacking (including exploiting maps and trying to exploit the server). I find it is best to deal with these people swiftly, and without recourse. I do not engage them in conversation, nor do I tell them why they were banned. If I am not sure they are hacking, I observe them. If I'm still not sure, I assume they aren't. Usually, hackers just hop from server to server causing shit. It's unlikely I'll see them again, but I do make a note of them in case others encounter them. And before the issue is raised - I fully support public display of the hacker's IP and Steam ID. > Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:44:36 +0000 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Hacker > > Why should we bother to ban someone if you can't be bothered to provide > evidence? > > Ben B wrote: > > people were leaving in droves, i wasn't going to waste time recording a demo > > when it was so obvious. > > > > http://gs1.1.fpsbanana.com/psychostats/player.php?id=2051 > > > > look at this stats, 50 snipers kills in 16 minutes, 25 rifle kills, all > > headshots > > > > On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 5:20 PM, Ferenc Kovacs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > >> 2008/11/20 Ben B <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> > >> > >>> So I wanted to play on my server, 18 poeple on it, filling up... so while > >>> > >> I > >> > >>> load, this hacker gets on with his aimbot/speed hack as sniper, and > >>> basically makes most people quit, there are only 5 people remaining when > >>> > >> I > >> > >>> get in game. > >>> > >>> You have no Idea how enraged I was over this, I told him I was giving his > >>> ID > >>> to anyone I can find, so here I go. > >>> > >>> nicknames: Pitty: like 1000? lol, [COTB]austantacious > >>> Steam Page: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197997419331 > >>> STEAM_ID: STEAM_0:1:18576801 > >>> IP: 24.2.199.151 > >>> > >>> Please ban this pile of crap from all your servers until vac gets him or > >>> something D:. > >>> > >>> -- > >>> From Ben B.
