  20. quintosh: wL. said:

    feel free to inform them about it so they stop making alt accounts

  22. Permzilla: (Legend) - (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ - WiK? said:

    Skidoosh IS fearny, unless I am mistaken. Regardless, Fearny’s ban expired and thus a new ban is applied.

    -Be in a team without doing anything wrong
    -Leader adds banned players to the team you’re in
    -Get banned for a year
    Logic=Flawless

  28. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    There was a lot more to it Xacher. They were brand new accounts. Tons of vac banned alts etc and this was the simplest way of going about it. Also after we removed the leader other players still added new alts to the team despite several warnings. Of course we wouldn’t punish an entire team for a leaders actions but this is a different case entirely.

  29. Carlos Kaiser said:

    I get it now, the OP was just written in a way that implied that the ban was applied to the team itself, and not to the every player of the team individually.

    how is it that solly has a 1 year ban, he isnt active on etf2l or tf2 and he got his ban 266 days ago…

  31. Carlos Kaiser said:

    You can get a ban without launching tf2.
    For example by logging into etf2l with an alt account.

  32. jx53 said:

    Yeah, but he was banned almost a year ago from vac

  33. Carlos Kaiser said:

    I think you can request a rulechange that etf2l bans connected with VAC should be 1 year after the date of the last ban, and not 1 year since the banpost. That would actually be a good change.

    ban*

  37. Bery: Seizs - LoL said:

    this is fuckin ridiculous
    these georgians are kids that dont even know “why they are banned”, i mean they might hack or something, whatever, but they dont know why they are get banned and banned from etf2l i think. i believe they will continue making alt accounts, please, someone ban them on IP, i dont want to see the people from my country (SAME PEOPLE EVERY TIME) to be in the ban post. CMON!
    this retarded kids make the country look like hackers
    and also, this isnt RUSSIA! everyone listen, we are georgians, not russians, russia isnt georgia, everyone got it?

  38. CanFo: (Legend) - [HA] - #T4F said:

    Bery: Do you mean they do not know that hacking or evading a ban might get them banned?
    I agree they are giving your country a bad name, however…

  39. Bery: Seizs - LoL said:

    the VAC ban might not be from really hacking (aimbot/wallhack), this might be from -insecure or maybe achievement hack, they are kids. they dont realize why they are getting banned and banned, i mean this

  40. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    We treat every vac ban from tf2 equally because we have no way of knowing what actually happened. Only the users themselves and Valve would know the details. This is (in my opinion) a fair way of going about things, as sadly if one gets vac banned there are no details available as the VAC team doesn’t want to disclose what and how their system detect, in order to confuse cheaters. (This is also why they flag accounts and delay ban, so cheat makers won’t know what’s detected right away)

    Our policy is to catch on to vac bans as quickly as possible, because if we don’t, users like Solly get an increased ban period because we saw it too late. This is bad for both parties. Our general rule is that users who themselves report their own vac ban to us gets banned right away without having to wait for the next ban post, which can in some cases be months apart. This is to promote people for coming forward and we really appreciate those who do. For those who don’t however, we now have a new system where we on average confirm vac banned accounts within a 2 week period.

    -this isnt RUSSIA! everyone listen, we are georgians, not russians, russia isnt georgia, everyone got it?
    Haha, they must be really bad at geography, like everyone knows that Georgia is in the United States and not in Russia.

  42. frixx: LG said:

    I hope you are not serious xacher. Because if you are I’d suggest to be quiet and maybe google georgia and see that there are country and US state, both by the name Georgia but a couple of thousands of miles apart.

    better call it sourcemod plugins on lobbies

  64. sunnyboy said:

    lol anti-cheat admin (*rofl* Killari *rofl*) is to stupid to detect plugins on the server. Now, dear anti-cheat admin (*rofl* Killari *rofl*) next time just type “sm plugins list” in your console to learn something really interesting in your life. I swear that will change your role as anti-cheat admin. ;)

  65. Lazybear: MUUQ - itsallgood said:

    Cheating is cheating. If we allowed server side plugins what’s to stop players from using them? From hiding them on their own server in an official match? You were clearly hiding the fact that you were doing what you were doing.

    You have 0 sympathy from me

    I think you mistakenly thought we either only banned for client side cheats, or only for cheats used in officials.

    In etf2l we do look outside of our own league and use material from anywhere we feel it is useful We have banned people for cheating in pubs before.
    If you write a plugin in sourcepawn and use it to “troll lobbies” as you so put it, then you cheated. It’s a simple as that. A plugin might remove a danger from VAC, but it won’t help in terms of our league. Especially the nature of the plugins you use, gives you a huge advantage for obvious reasons, which i won’t go into detail.
