Yeah but there are stealth hackers everywhere. They keep the hacks off until they get in to trouble with another player. You know ... 5 HP and you're the only one left.
I've seen many people come in to a server and get a great streak ... 12 to 0 or 1 lets say. Then ease off after that and only turn on hacks to keep the best score / ratio. The problem is far worse than any of you admins think. I am sure you and many other players say "oh yeah ... He's cool. I've watched him". But chances are he aint. Every time VAC or any other anti-cheat was updated, scores across the world dropped by 50 % until new hacks were written. These are statistical averages that can't be argued away. I would wager over 3/4 of all CS players have hacks loaded and use them at least once in a while. I ran a server at my office on T1 and personally loaded 20 guys PC's with CS. We would play starting at 3:30PM each day. After about six months I found hacks loaded on several PC's and wrote a script to remove or damage them automatically. The half the guys started playing from home. LOL!!!! People can't resist cheating. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Devin Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 8:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] Vac update?_hackers >Lets face it ....

VAC/CD/HLguard just help you NEED an admin there as much as possible. By the end I had such a concise ban list, I rarely saw a hacker at all, maybe once a month, and this was with a server always half full of non-regs. That's the only way to truely show hackers the front door... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
