Maybe this isn't the whole truth in this matter. All we know maybe VAC already had signature from the player (and if it wasn't a sourcemod) and the ban was just speeded up to be more instant.
In any case, in such clear cases as speedhacks, i don't mind if the jackasses get banned asap for once. However, if it was a manual ban just due to the guy seeing he was indeed speedhacking, it's bad policy because no one knows if someone gets accidentally banned and the innocent suffers. In this case though, there was no victims that did not deserve what they got. -ics 12.5.2010 22:51, Kyle Sanderson kirjoitti: > Both http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=126487 and > http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=935780 are interesting > reads. > > The player was manually VAC banned by one "Al" or "Professor > Farnsworth" for running SourceMod as a client plugin.
