Now I have an interesting situation. One of My most trusted and oldest Admins is being accused of hacking. I spec'd him and made a demo plus I have my trusty HLTV demo recording as always. But the truth is I still don't "know" if he was hacking or not. He denies it of course. Part of what I thought was a speed hack turned out to be an Exploit of the other Admins discovered and didn't tell anyone about. It is an exploit with a plugin called Force Mod. As in Starwars Force. This guy is very good, always has been. One of the few players that can give me a hard time on my server. He basically owns the # 1 slot in all our stats. The map is Starwars2. This server has been one the few dedicated Starwars2 servers for about 2 years. He is one of the original players and knows the map better than most. He claims he just shoots at certain spots on the walls in the hopes of hitting someone. My son does the same thing and I know for a fact my son Does NOT hack. This Admin of mine caught my attention because he was using the clan tag [myG0t]. He says he was trying to get Hackers to admit they were hacking, which he did and promptly banned them for it! Lol Isn't that entrapment?
Now if VAC was up to date this might not have ever been a issue. I will gladly provide the link to DL these demos if anyone is interested in putting their 2 cents in. Please keep in mind that this is a "Fun" server though usually run pretty strictly. Low Gravity is the Norm there (it is a space map!) I already have verified that he is Not using a speed hack as I first assumed. I am going to see if there is an update for that plugin or fix it myself. Meanwhile he is suspended from admin privileges until I review more demos of him playing. Sorry for the long drawn out post.... But I am actually getting a bit stressed from this!

My whole point is that most admins only get the obvious hackers. So your response "Umm, the easy solution to that problem of blatant hacks is, Be the Server Admin." Misses the whole point. What we're saying is that VAC is ineffective now and good people are cheating to compensate so cheating is at an all time high. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren J.

Wow, who crawled up your ass - mr. better than everyone, never played on anyone's server except his own!?! Some of us do happen to step outside into the light once in a while and play on servers other than our own.
