He was never a "known cheat writer". He has always been active in the "cheat community" to stay up on their methods...just like the UnitedAdmins group. The only "cheat" he ever wrote was one that reported it's users back to him so he could get them banned in leagues for using a cheat. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Ottalini" To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 3:56 PM > There is a serious further problem with programs like x-spectate in that > this program is written by a known cheat writer. > > It is also implemented using typical cheat hooking and VAC avoidance methods so it is only time before it is flagged as a cheat. > > How many of you would trust (or even install) an anti-cheat tool written by someone that writes the very cheats the tool is supposed to detect? > > And I'm not talking about "used to write cheats", I'm talking about someone > that is very active in the current cheat community. > > How could you trust code that could potentially have anything written into > it. > > SteamIDs: > Valve does not accept SteamID reports, screenshots or even demos as proof of > cheating, it is too easy for some malicious person to submit faked evidence. > > None of these methods actually identify what specific cheat program is being used, and no matter how skilled someone is at reviewing demos, the sheer drudgery of watching thousands of hours of recordings renders this marginal at best without some other form of proof. > > Server Admins on the other hand can individually make their own judgments > based on their logs and direct observation. > > qUiCkSiLvEr > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: spartibus > Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 11:54 AM > > Sharza, the problem is most cheats DE-ACTIVATE themselves right before > the screenshot is taken, and re-activate themselves immediately after > the screen is taken.
