Active and experienced admins are your best weapon against cheaters. I would also recomend joining an anti-cheat organisation which verify and sync bans. Here in Norway, several large communities has joined forces against cheaters via an organisation named Radar. All members of Radar share their bans (after radar-admins have approved the demos) - giving us a much more efficient way of dealing with cheaters.
The most common cheats are still WH, aimbot and no-recoil. Though most are quite easy to spot, a few "designer cheats" has emerged the last year or so, with much more possibilites for the user to tweak. These are alot more "sophisticated", and the usual give-aways are more subtle. One of the most common mistakes a "skilled" cheater does, is to often "forget" to check dangerous spots as long as there is noe real danger there - since they of course already know this. This may be a sign for admins to start recording a few demos of the player. To analyze demos, I have a nice config here that might help you: // F1 10% speed // F2 50% speed // F3 100% speed // F4 500% speed // F5 pause/resume demo // F6 DEMOUI console // F7 Wireframe // F8 Wallhack // F9 Mat_Proxy WH cycle on/off (alternative wh, press 2x) // F10 Sound ESP (ukjent purpose) // F11 minimodels on/off (for admin wh - used in combination with a 3. party WH for demoanlyze) // F12 Interpolate & impacts on/off (for aimbot detection) echo "F1 10% hastighet"; echo "F2 50% hastighet"; echo "F3 100% hastighet"; echo "F4 500% hastighet"; echo "F5 resume/pause demo" echo "F6 DEMOUI console" echo "F7 Wireframe" echo "F8 Wallhack" echo "F9 Mat_Proxy WH cycle on/off" echo "F10 Sound ESP" echo "F11 minimodels on/off" echo "F12 Interpolate on/off + impacts on (for aimbot detection)" sv_cheats 1; // Developer meldinger alias "devoff" "developer -1; con_notifytime 0" alias "devon" "con_notifytime 4; developer 1" contimes 4 alias "interpolate" "interon"; alias "interon" "sv_cheats 1; sv_client_interpolate 0; cl_interpolate 0; sv_showimpacts 1; devon; echo ** cl_interpolate off **; devoff; alias interpolate interoff;"; alias "interoff" "sv_client_interpolate 1; cl_interpolate 1; show_showimpacts 0; devon; echo ** cl_interpolate on **; devoff; alias interpolate interon;"; bind "F12" "interpolate"; alias "minmod" "minon"; alias "minon" "cl_minmodels 1; cl_min_ct 1; cl_min_t 1; alias minmod minoff; devon; echo ** cl_minmodels on (1) **; devoff"; alias "minoff" "cl_min_ct 2; cl_min_t 3; alias minmod minalloff; devon; echo ** cl_minmodels on (2/3) **; devoff"; alias "minalloff" "cl_minmodels 0; alias minmod minon; devon; echo ** cl_minmodels off **; devoff"; bind "F11" "minmod"; bind "F1" "demo_timescale 0.1; devon; echo ** 10% hastighet **; devoff"; bind "F2" "demo_timescale 0.5; devon; echo ** 50% hastighet **; devoff"; bind "F3" "demo_timescale 1; devon; echo ** 100% hastighet **; devoff"; bind "F4" "demo_timescale 5; devon; echo ** 500% hastighet **; devoff"; bind "F6" "demoui"; alias "demorun" "demoresume"; alias "demoresume" "demo_resume; alias demorun demopause; devon; echo ** Demo resumed **; devoff"; alias "demopause" "demo_pause; alias demorun demoresume; devon; echo ** Demo paused **; devoff"; bind "F5" "demorun"; // mat proxy: alias water00 "mat_proxy 2; alias waterUp water01" alias water01 "mat_proxy 1; alias waterUp water00" alias waterUp "water00" bind F9 waterUp //example sound esp: alias sndesp00 "snd_show 1;snd_visualize 1;alias sndespUp sndesp01" alias sndesp01 "snd_show 1;snd_visualize 1;snd_showmixer 1;alias sndespUp sndesp02" alias sndesp02 "snd_show 0;snd_visualize 0;snd_showmixer 0;alias sndespUp sndesp00" alias sndespUp "sndesp00" bind F10 sndespUp // example wirefame: alias wireframe00 "mat_measurefillrate 0;mat_luxels 0;alias wireUp wireframe09" alias wireframe09 "mat_wireframe 0;mat_measurefillrate 1;mat_luxels 0;alias wireUp wireframe00" alias wireUp "wireframe00" bind F7 wireUp // example wallhack: alias wall00 "mat_depthbias_normal 0;mat_luxels 0;r_drawopaquerenderables 1;mat_reversedepth 0;alias wallUp wall01" alias wall01 "mat_depthbias_normal 1;alias wallUp wall02" alias wall02 "mat_depthbias_normal 1;mat_luxels 1;alias wallUp wall03" alias wall03 "wa6;mat_depthbias_normal 1;mat_reversedepth 1;mat_luxels 0;alias wallUp wall04" alias wall04 "wa6;mat_depthbias_normal 0;mat_reversedepth 1;mat_luxels 0;alias wallUp wall05" alias wall05 "wa6;mat_depthbias_normal 0;mat_reversedepth 1;mat_luxels 1;alias wallUp wall06" alias wall06 "r_drawopaquerenderables 0;alias wallUp wall00" alias wallUp "wall00" bind F8 wallUp

Is there anything new to watch for or jst the regular wallhack/aimbot stuff? Any website ressources to pull from? At the moment I only have about 10 admins that game maybe a couple of times a week, as the server has just been started again. How do you deal with bans/complaints, are your admins required to record cheaters for later inspection, maybe?
