It seems to log when it feels like it - got 3 last week that psychostats picked up on, then no more. It did the same about 2 months ago, picked a few up then stopped.

Maybe VAC just doesn't detect a great deal of anything anymore and is just a waste of CPU cycles. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian A.

Valve may think a 1 week ban is the appropriate punishment. I may think a 1 month ban is a better punishment. Since I provide the server and make no money from it I should have a right to refuse service to anyone I want, including those detected cheating. If valve is going to include anticheat technology in their software they should allow me, the server admin, to decide what to do with the information it obtains. A global ban system for cheaters is cool but also allow the server admin to do what they feel is the correct course of action as well... When Valve pays me to run a server they can tell me how to run it, until then I think its my choice on who may and may not play on my servers and for what reasons... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
