IMPORTANT NOTE: ALL READ

[s05aa]

Everybody is thankful for everybody their work on catching a cheater. Since we as CB can't be there all the time, we do need these extra set of eyes and ears which can help us identify suspicious players so that we can make sure of they are hacking or not. We greatfully thank you for that!

 

At the same time we do have some points in which we think things can go better. This is not just for catching the cheater, but also for the continious visitor flow on our server. Below there is a list on how to act when you catch a cheater and what you should and shouldn't do.

 

1. When you think you have a suspicious player:

There always comes a point in which a player joins the server and you think; "hey, there is something fishy about this dude/chick". In this case you do make a demo and get his userinfo (READ PLZ). This is all needed for our process.

Once you have recorded the demo, you will post this one in the correct section. PLEASE NOTE: Look before posting. There might be already be a topic about this player. In that case just add your demo to this topic with aditional information. Double posts will make the forum less clear.

 

2. You have uploaded the demo:

After you have uploaded the demo there is nothing more you can do. As long as the topic hasn't been moved, add more demo's to the post so that we have more material to analyse. Don't overdo it, since we got a life besides this aswell

 

3 While we are analyzing:

As we are all checking the demo's it migth occur that the player in this case joines the server. Since there is no desicion, there are no actions been taken towards these players. This means that they are still free to join. What we do see in this case is that members tend to go in spec all together and spec this player and talk about him/her in /mc or pm. DON'T do this. When everyone joins spec the map will be empty which can effect the attractiveness of the server. Even when it isn't fair in your opinion because this player is playing like a star, don't stack spectator.

We are making sure that we come to a desicion asap, so that the correct actions can be taken if needed.

 

4 When the desicion is made public:

When we came to a desicion, we will take actions and make it public. This might take some time, since it needs to be sure that a player really is hacking. Even then some players can come back by some different types of backdoors. Just make sure you tell an admin so that they can do whatever these can.

 

 

Some things which you should NEVER/NOT do:

- NEVER talk to a cheater about his cheating or his cheat, not in mainchat nor in pm. Not even when this player speaks your native language or one that you know. It is up to the CB to deside if a player is cheating or not.

- DON'T sit spec and spec that player for like forever. Even you might get owned by a cheater, try to play as much as possible. Last thing we want is a server getting empty. So ensure that a 'wallhacker' is not a camper/leaner and 'mortar cam user' is not a guy who shoots the same coordinates all the time.

- DON'T yell to all members that there is a cheater. If you think someone is cheating, then just go spec or ask an individual if he is there (e.g. higher admin, CB, Recruiter) if they want to check someone out.

- DON'T spec with with all of TM members on the server. When you are playing with members and you think that there is a cheater we just need one player to make the demo's. With all of TM sitting in spec, people get suspicious and might turn off their hack of just leave. In this case the demo could get to short for us to watch it. Besides, this makes the teams less full, which could result in players leaving.

- DON'T keep spamming that someone is cheating. You are NOT always right! So if you see someone cheating, post demo and wait. There is no need to spam it to other members and get them to think that someone is cheating when they might not be doing it.
