-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] One of the biggest problems I ran into as a lead admin for a gaming company was the admins themselves. Any time a player came in showing any amount of exceptional skill it was decided he must be cheating. This was despite having multiple anti cheat measures I spent hours researching and updating constantly. Then one day the admins started complaining that there was no longer a challenge on the server, I replied "that is because anytime someone comes in better than you guys they get banned" needless to say that practice stopped. Now, I am not saying that is the case here or in the big cs:s picture but I think it merits some thought. Since this mailing list is really for servers and help with servers (and this thread doesn't belong here) I will post some relevant content. Steambans: plug in for source/non servers, compares players steam ids to a global database of cheaters and bans if player is in the database. Requires no work by admins other than installation. http://www.steambans.com/ Autoban: another automated server plug in, it has anti wallhack and anti antiflash features as well as an aimbot tracking tool. Be warned some people have issues with this and it is in beta. * Bans right away, no manual intervention necessary * Server-side only plugin, nothing to run or install on the client * Aimbot detection * Wallhacking prevention * Speedhack detection * No-recoil and low-recoil detection * No-spread and low-spread detection * No-flash prevention * Completely configurable http://www.wravens-nest.com/ Vac2: we know what this is. Beetlesmod: I am not sure that the anti cheat portion of the server plug in is even updated anymore but it will at least catch people who get the older versions and can't hurt. http://www.beetlesmod.com/forums/ If anyone knows of any other anti-cheat tools for source I would love to hear about them. Maybe we have to react to the cheaters and as such it may seem as if they are winning, but don't lay down and die for them!
