I just don't have that much trust in VAC2 yet. But if it is really good and working, ofcourse they should be banned right away.
>Now not only does no one ever experience that cheat, the developer of it just got his account banned. The developer got his account banned anyways, he will just not know it until valve execute their list of banns collected. -Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Armstrong Sent: 30. mars 2005 13:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Suggestion for VAC2. What if they made a new cheat, tested it, banned. Now not only does no one ever experience that cheat, the developer of it just got his account banned. Number of more hackers on servers for a few days: 0 Whereas if we waited a day: Number of hackers: however many downloaded the cheat in the first place. In the end, if you install a cheat and get banned, good, if you dont install it in the first place, even better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Kobbevik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 9:11 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Suggestion for VAC2. > Buffer them for a day then? > You don't see the benefit from this? > > Let's say those magots make a new cheat.. test it.. and it goes > through VAC2; They now have a working cheat for thousands to download > without the fear, right? > > Unless VAC2 will be updated without notice? > > I still stand by my idea, but maybe between updates is too long. > > -Alex > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BoNfiRe > Sent: 30. mars 2005 12:46 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds] Suggestion for VAC2. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Andrew Armstrong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 11:14 AM > Subject: Re: [hlds] Suggestion for VAC2. > > > > Personally I want cheaters banned as soon as they join the server, > > none of this 'checking' stuff. > > > > I will second that no pint in giving these ppl a timaeframe to cheat, > and IMO I can't see the difference between the threat of being banned > as soon as > you join to being banned a week later.
