Thats a real bad idea if you look at the bigger picture. Cheat coders would simply run local servers and attempt to figure VAC out or if their cheats were detectable or not.

Are they being put on the global banlist? I think with the earlier VAC2 betas there was some false positives being generated and banned globally and I believe there was a warning issued to those running VAC2 beta to be aware of this. If it does generate false positives what can be done about it? I'm keen to run it but I'm a little scared of finding users screaming at me because they've ended up banned globally when they weren't using a cheat. Perhaps some kind of option could be added to VAC2 to have a local ban only - i.e. VAC2 still runs but when it bans a user it goes into the server's local banfile, giving admins the chance to remove it if it was indeed a false positive. Maybe an option like -vac2 or -vac2local? Just my thoughts. -Scott ***************************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are confidential and are intended for the above named recipient only.
