back to topic: I like that idea with a [hax]-tag that is only visible for other players. Each serveradmin can decide for himself to let him play or not, but why should the [hax]-tag be time limited ? Everybody should be able to see that he cheated for the rest of his life.... Cheaters are destroying nice and funny games -..-

 

 

But what if it was due to an error (such as accidently having an aimbot, or a false-positive)

I don't really see how you can accidently have an aimbot. But I'm guessing all of the false-positives will be fixed in the future.

Well for me this is enough :>

 

Why can't we see it? We could make an third-party server plugin which checks the 4D1 account for this and if cheats are used, the player would not be able to play.

Uh because bansystem isn't meant to be public?

I totally agree with this idea. May not be perfect, but it's a step forward to detect and punish cheating losers properly. Sometimes i just cant play, with 50% or more of the users haxking, so nobody complains... And when a good player shows up, people start accusing him of hax... abuse of the /votekick leading to servers disabling it... to the delight of cheaters :evil:

I have a different idea, hackers/cheaters gets banned forever! without any warning.

And this must be advertised very loud so nobody would complain they didn't know.

They want to play again, they need another account...but then again, cheat=dead account

Wouldn't be a bad idea, but then most server owners might just ban people who have the [HAX] tag even if they aren't cheating, causing them to basically be perma-banned from most of 4D1 anyway.

So, will this be implemented?

case AuthenticateResultBanned:

Com_Error(1, "Could not authenticate to NP server at " NP_SERVER " -- banned.");

break;

 

This is enough for me.

CUNT would be better

I don't like this idea

People will just not play with the tag until it goes away rendering it pointless

 

You forget the stupidity of the majority of the players

And definitely the stupidity of the majority of those hacking kiddies
