Prior to VAC2 beta I saw tons of cheaters...and banned lots too.
Since then I havent seen any...well the odd one or two, but they are using
hlh and Mani Plugin takes care of them pretty quick.

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.

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

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.

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!

I've being playing CS:S pretty much since it was released, and I've
rarely
ever seen cheats. Perhaps I never notice them or may as an admin they're
easier to spot (I'm only a player).
