we tried a global ban list before. the resulting mess was immediate.
every ass bite clan with a grudge against some other ass bite clan entered the "enemy" steam id's in the "global ban list". It will not work. ever. the cheat authors get some sort of perverted sexual satisfaction out of pissing off thousands of people. they will never stop until they are dead or freaking finally grow up. (please do kill cheat authors if you find them! better you get the chair than me...) If you can not handle the cheat users then make your servers private. Possibly subscription based. otherwise just get out of the business and do something else. take for instance "even balance" (punkbuster). They convinced the stupid suits at the major commercial game companies they had the solution to cheats. they prepare a release of pb for when the game is released. then they move to the next project and forget the last one. It takes the cheat authors about 10 minutes to have a new version out undetectable by pb. since pb is never, ever, updated after the first release with a new game the new cheats are never detected. sort of like how as long as there are people who buy virus prevention software then the virus software companies will keep creating new viruses. virus companies like norton/symantic, etc. BIG MONEY it is just as crappy and dishonest as politics. It is not worth your stress and frustration. better to grow up and walk away. you want the rush from combat? get into scenario paintball. check this vid: http://www.specialopspaintball.com/movies/battleofbower2.mov i love my new Mark 30 landmine: http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/prodimages/6110002a.jpg and i love my BT16 Tactical Marker: http://imagescommerce.bcentral.com/merchantfiles/5023680/BT16-Tactical.jpg It's a real rush folks. The D-Day event next year should draw over 4,000 players. Check waynes-world.com for some upcoming events. Check http://www.ragtopvideo.com/wwvideos/wwvideos.html for vids and pics of past events. puts video games to shame. Hopefully this useless and hopeless thread will finally be put to sleep as well.
