The developer got his account banned anyways, he will just not know it until
valve execute their list of banns collected.

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.

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.

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. The fear is there and giving
them a week gives them a chance to anoy people while your waitng for
the next update to get them banned.

Subject: [hlds] Suggestion for VAC2.
I been away from this list for a while and after seeing the last
update notice I ran back.
Can I make a suggestion for VAC2, please?
I know its only fair to warn before inserting a new system that
will try
to
catch cheaters.
I also know that it's the right way to do it when you are acctually
trying to get more players, and not less.
But, here goes.
What if you update VAC2... but only record cheats until the next
update. Then you ban the collected list and start a new recording
after the new
VAC2
update.
This way you create a fear for cheating... which is one of the most
successfull ways of stopping people from trying to cheat...
They can't just have someone else check if the cheat gets detected
first, then use it until the next VAC2 update.
To me this sounds like a really good idea, but it popped up an hour
ago while reading the archive.. so maybe I missed some side
affect...
If people comment on this idea, maybe valve will consider it?
