[hlds] Hackers on the rise
The amount of hackers is rising bigtime, ones with name change scripts and ones that stop the status command from working, basically making banning them complicated. Since it's gone F2P people can just make a new account, i've noticed this because they Haven't set up their steam profile yet. Speedhackers + Aimbotters etc coming in every day.

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise
Yep. IP bans don't do shit in most cases either because they have dynamic IPs. IMO the VAC system should be adjusted to TF2 so that it dispenses bans instantly upon detecting cheating, not after a few months.

My server hasn't had any incidents that I'm aware of since I started using SourceMod Anti-Cheat a couple months back. If you're not running that you can try it out.

SMAC and other plugins won't detect all cheaters.

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise
True and unfortunate but the general detections are hard to get around due to the number of ways to actually do something. Such as aim bot, it detects the degrees in change, most aimbots jump from one player to another and there's not many ways to do that... Unless they change their aimbot to be less suspicious making it less useful.

If you can put up with the excessive memory leaks then you can use SourceTV on autorecord.

One options is to just not allow f2p accounts. Or make them a lot more vulnerable to votekicks/votebans. I'm considering making it so it only takes half as many votes against f2p to take action.

Re: [hlds] Hackers on the rise
That doesn't do much good for things like aimbots. I personally don't like the idea of preventing them from joining, but simply taking away things that they might be able to abuse. My dodgeball servers for example doesn't allow f2p to use, or hear anyone on voice comm. Too many unbannables just spewing mic spam all day. - Spencer.
