Merk, Do us all a favor then, and keep your "opinions" to yourself. You posted here to do what? A public service announcement? Start a fight over your complete misunderstanding of the VAC AND Steamban systems? Honestly, if you can't take a reply, don't bother posting on a MAILING LIST! Jesus...
Now in case you give a damn about the accuracy of the information you are spreading, heres this... AFAIK Steamban is run by PLAYERS who make the call to ban someone or not. Since steamban is checking against a blacklist, of course it "seems" to ban more people. Think about this, however, the VAC bans first off are not handled by humans (Thus the amount of false bans are pretty damn low) and they are delayed, so you would never see anyone "disconnected" like steamban does. The systems work together fine, from what I understand. So steamban can add another layer of protection, for what its worth. Also I hear the steamban team does try their best to avoid false positives, but frankly I trust my own eyes more than theirs. Good day! -Smurf Message: 10 From: "Killer Creation Services" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Steambans VS VAC Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2005 11:44:09 +0100 Reply-To: [email protected] Yea, u guys all say the same thing which I already know, I was just showing that since I installed steambans, (the count has gone to 6 to steambans and 0 to vac now) that 6 people have been "disconnected" from 1 server that was using steambans for cheating and 0 "disconnected" from 10 vac secured servers and YES I do know that they work differently but to be honest Steambans seems to be doing a much better job that's what "I" think. No point carrying this thread on I was just saying what I saw any replies will be deleted without being read.
