SOPA and all the rest are just beginning. Wait 10 years and all the
hardware you have has some sort of ID that can be traced or even
deactivated remotely.
But scifi aside, punkbuster has some sort of hardwareban thing. It
doesn't work that much. VAC could have the same thing but better would
be just improve it. Atleast the employment position from Valve website
for anticheat engineer has disappeared. Might have found someone.

Hardware ban? How would that work, serial numbered and trackable computers?
Just think about that for a second. That would mean EVERYTHING that you do is
trackable, traceable, databaseable, reportable, and searchable. That's the kind
of power that makes SOPA look like chump change. Even better, how about
Internet Licences?
Instead of making cheating a user/admin issue, how about making it a developer
issue and refusing to buy games that are easily hacked.

I agree. A hardware ban stings much more and would be a great addition to the

Dont agree with banning the credit card, there is no use. Most just buy an
account from some website.
I'd be way more for a system where one could ban their COMPUTER that is used
to cheat. So server admins can ban that. You wont see the hacker back then.
The 5 dollar account that is bought is no counter vs a 500 dollar pc.

"whiney little girls" I would bet my entire familys lives, that this is
coming from someone who would use a cheat if they knew they could get away
with it. A 3 month ban woudln't do anything, especially when it only costs a
few dollars to buy another CS 1.6 or DoD 1.3 account.
IMHO, if you get caught hacking by VAC, you're entire steam account should be
shut down, No mater how many games you have not cheated in.
That being said, Valve must have a fool proof way of detecting that a person
was in fact cheating, and not using some tool or mod that gave vac a false
positive. I absolutely hate hackers, and they compltetly ruined gold source
mods. Now anyone who is good and gets a 3to1 KDR, gets called a hacker.
If Valve is serious about stopping hackers, they should simply tie the VAC
BAN from one account to the credit card purchase of the next account that
hacker is using to purchase new accounts with. Ban the credit card, and you
stop the hacker.

I don't think it's fair for Valve to ban people from all Valve games
forever, because not only does it nullify all the hard earned cash
they used to buy the games, but it makes Valve look like a bunch of
whiney little girls.
Don't get me wrong, I am not VAC'd and I have never been VAC'd.
I just think a 3month ban would suffice, with repeat offense being the
only thing that gets you banned permanently.
