Is cheating / aimbotting / wallhacking actually a real problem, or are the occurences few and far between?
I can count the number of cheaters I've seen in TF2 on one hand. Counter-Strike (both versions) of course is a whole 'nother story, but I don't run those at the moment.
As for TF2, since starting my own server 4 months ago I've only had two incidents. About three weeks ago one person with a speedhack kept coming back under different IPs and steamids (the one big downside to f2p is that this is free for the cheater). There was also a group of two people who came on with a speedhack and additional griefing, they did not return. I eventually installed sourcemod anticheat and the problem went away.
The second cheater used an aimbot as Heavy, which doesn't make sense to me unless it can predict spray patterns. Either way they seemed to be mostly harmless. SMAC detected this one but was not configured to ban, since then I turned on auto-ban with a very conservative threshold.
