I am not impressed with their judgement either. I've had a few people obviously hacking on my server and looked up their steamID there, which was listed as being let off the hook. Perhaps they want to play it safe, but enough is enough these days. My server is flooded with hackers and myg0t ragers on a daily basis, despite having admins on at nearly all times, a ban list over 1000, and every trick I can think of enabled via mani and some scripts I wrote. What we really need is an engine which cannot be easily exploited. Trying to maintain a blacklist only goes so far. The kiddies have an unlimited supply of disposable steamID's using a hacked client and only IP bans have any effect, and even then a lot of them use DHCP-supplied IPs and know how to get a new one from the pool. Not to mention, it seems like there are more troublemakers than actual players.. Running a public server is becoming an unrewarding and frustrating experience lately; the MPC cheats download list is a few pages long with the various hacks we know so well from cs 1.6 that give them an unfair advantage, and myg0t works overtime to find and exploit the many problems with the engine.
