PSA: Anti-Cheater Division

[Sirken]

Skope, the difference between Aug 2011 and April 2013 is that we have fine tuned it, a lot. the aug 2011 incident was the first time the staff tested that MQ detector, and had no way of knowing exactly how accurate it would be. furthermore the incident was used as a warning to the players, letting them know we actually could detect MQ now, and wasnt just blowing smoke up players' asses. most of the players stopped using MQ after they realized it actually could and would be detected.

we have greatly improved our tools in the last 20 months, and there is no longer room for error. (yes there can be false positives still, the difference is that we can 100% confirm whether or not it was actually used on p99, or simply was just running in the back and offering 0 benefits). we understand some servers allow MQ, and sometimes u may just forget to turn it off. and we can see all that now.

so while the attitude has not changed, the situation surely has

Names please. Reputation concerns were a classic experience. Also I was told perma bans are actually only 6 months. A ruined reputation lasts forever.

perma = forever. if it was 6 months, itd be a suspension.

Can we get this happening every 30 days? Instead of every 2 years?

You can expect us to keep a closer eye on this going forward, and a continued effort to track down and tag guilty accounts. Won't share any more than that.

That was one of the points of this thread. The Anti-Cheater division exists and is working.

Not to say bans have not occurred between those times.. as seemingly every day someone is banned. A dedicated division for prevention and punishment goes a long way, though.

Enjoy.

Actually, its better if it happens every like 4 months, so you make sure the cheater really really wasted his time.

If it's every 30 days it wouldn't sting that much tbh, i like it the way it is, 3 times a year seems fine to me!

Again thanks to staff for keeping up with the custom mq builds and doing the ones and zeros like champs
