Arma Hall Of Shame

[crashvector 0]

the entire [sASKMT] squad should be banned globally. Every single one of them has a fake user ID, and three of them had the same ID: 4043433847

here are a few more to add to the list:

USER: podkreslone ID: 3962427255 He likes to use the console hack to kill everyone in the server

USER: poomansoon ID: 405550967 he has a hack that lets him shoot FFAR's from a rifle

USER: infected ID: 2380601207

USER: Daniel ID: 2147682167

There it goes my 2 cents...as my other post was closed.

I recently played in a server called "=SF= Berzerk Tactical Carnage" and a player who´s id is 1318623095 blowed all the buildings of the map at once in a single shot.

I hope this game does not become a Counter Strike-like cheater infested game.

I hope either BIS or someone else comes out with a nice punk-buster or cheating-death soon.

^ exactly why these posts should be deleted and restricted here.

For all you know he completely made that up, or is wrong about who was actually doing it.

Maybe for one its clearly a fake Id...

[oChaos.DNJ 0]

Your right. I Missed that. My mistake.

But still, people come here and post legit IDs, with accusations, which should be deleted.

Personally, I think the banning of fake IDs, doesnt accomplish much of anything, since they are keygen keys to begin with. All they got to do is generate a new one.

Unless you can ban ALL possible 10-12 digit IDs, they wont really be banned.

BIS is probably going to have to be the one to solve this.

Ive seen people talk about scripts to do it, but I dont believe anyone stated they got it working...

[Tijai 1]

Just another two penneth here although I have already ahd my say.

Remember this = most of the players on ArmA at the moment are playing coop.

This means the game does not attract cheats and hacks like many others squareley based in PvP......However...

...I think in the future there will be a far healthier PvP side to this game ...just a feeling I have

With that in mind could do with getting something sorted earlier than later before the REAL influx starts.

Hackers would rather cheat people than bots

btw someone mentioned: #exec 10 didgit IDs

Is this out there somewhere?

TK'ers Defcon1 clan was full of tkers on Evo server today. Killed two of us to get the chopper, and never said why or sorry. Then killed me again in town again for no reason. Shame a clan has to act that why.

Generate a new one, then uninstall and reinstall the game, download the patches, etc etc.

[Michael_Wittman 0]

10-12 digits ...whats that? 99.000.000.000 numbers? This is the kind of shit thats solved years ago by Steam Wide Opponent Network. You can play offline with a cracked key, but you cannot play online unless you have a legal key.

[oChaos.DNJ 0]

How do you know they have to uninstall? Its possible they could have a key changer without having to uninstall and reinstall....

and theres no reason to have to download the patch(s) more then once....

but even still, they arent permanently banned....just some more time untill they are unbanned.

So, BIS needs to do something about it, unless someone figuers out a way to script it server side. Though, BIS should do it anyways still.

A global ban list is very dangerous. All it takes is quick edit and a player who someone dislikes but is innocent gets added to the ban list of a huge number of servers and will have a hell of a time clearing his name. Ban cheaters and teamkillers as they come, don't use a list full of people that you don't know.

Theres a bunch of them that seem to enjoy themselves just ruining games. They affect more than only bots by doing so... but I know that a lot more cheaters do it for competitive PVP purposes.

i remember people were always trying to cheat in CTI's back in the day of OFP.

just need to start adding known cheats to the file-check systems and ban known cheaters. there will ALWAYS be cheaters... just no way around it. kick em', ban em', and continue to the your game.

Theres alot of poor quality admins in this game.

Letting a few tkers and hackers go untill the next time when you can prove it is far more acceptable then banning innocent players.

Sorry, but in many cases (most?) the admins either partially or fully pay for their server in question. They can do whatever they want with it, which is fair enough as different servers will be admined in different ways. Maybe instead of 'poor quality', some admins would rather just adopt a no-nonsense attitude towards cheating etc.

I've seen people complaining about being banned after giving an admin a very similar attitude to yours - the key is to realise that the admins don't owe you anything and you aren't entitled to anything.

A single hacker can completely ruin a game. It's not a case of 'letting them go', it's the choice between allowing a suspected hacker to stay on the server to hack or to not take the risk. Which is more important - the enjoyment of the entire server, or one single player who is falsely labelled? After all, it's not like in a lot of situations that there is no comeback. I know for a fact that if you come back on our forums and ask nicely, you've got a very good chance of being allowed back on.

Im talking about a "global" banlist.

If your not going to release your personal banlist with innocent players on it, I dont care.

Your attitude is just wrong. While it's true that the admin pays for the server, it doesn't mean it's right to play god and do whatever you wish just because it's yours. It's a public server for the public to play there and they are human beings, too. Your philosophy in banning resembles a witch hunt: players with good scores, fast moves or otherwise unorthodox game style are prone to get a ban. Not to mention those 1-4 random players who needed to be banned along with the real cheater (not always) to stop the falling tanks and bombs. If you were a good player, you'd know how it feels to get ban after ban by paranoid admins.

[oChaos.DNJ 0]

This games really starting to suck because of all the bad admins.

I just joined a server, as soon as I join I get kicked. So I keep joining, nothing but kicks admin doesnt say anything. Theres no servers with a decent amount of people to join so I continue.

Im finally able to join, get in there look around base a little, see some civilians on the ground. Then I get banned. WTF?

All these bad admins, make me want to go get a keygen just so I dont get my real ID banned.

[-DirTyDeeDs--Ziggy- 0]

chaos, that server wasn't worth your time. Obviously they did you a favor by banning you. fahgettaboutit

Your idea that somehow a keygen will make this situation better is quite flawed.

heres a clue.

Play only on servers that are admined, with players you know and trust.

If that is not acceptable to you, then I have no further advice...

Maybe a no-nonsense attitude is wrong in your eyes. As it is, it tends to attract the players who don't want to see an admin stuck in all kinds of red tape situations where they are concerned about whether a player has done 'just enough' to get banned.

You haven't actually got a clue about my 'philosophy in banning', so it doesn't pay to speculate. It is simply not up to players to determine how they want a server to be adminned, and there is no prescribed formula for doing so.

When you're dealing with people who will happily ruin your game and crash your server, you appreciate that a 'let them go on their way' attitude doesn't quite cut it. If, as a player, you have issue with being banned, is it really that difficult to give a heads up on a forum to be unbanned? I really don't think it is, to be quite honest. Don't mistake pragmatism for paranoia.

How about this:

I'm very lenient when it comes to kicking/banning for most things. If I suspect someone of cheating, I will do everything reasonable to prove beyond a doubt they are a cheat before I ban.

Fake ID's are banned immediately without a word however.

If I cannot prove with absolute concrete evidence that someone is a cheat, but I feel as though I have reasonable doubt, I will kick first. If the foolishness stops, then starts again when the user returns, its a ban.

As an admin, my obligation lies with providing the users of the server I admin with an enjoyable game....NOT with protecting the "rights" of someone I have reasonable suspicions about being a cheater/hack. This isn't the U.S. legal system...its a game. I don't have to be able to prove in court beyond a reasonable doubt. If I have reason to believe you are cheating/hacking/or screwing up the game in any other way that detracts from the ability of the OTHER 63 people in the server, you are gone.

I refuse to forsake 63 other people in order to be "fair" to ONE player that is causing problems.

This is starting to be massive. Today I had to ban 3 different cheaters...you know why? because the server was amost full, and that makes your server cheaters favourite target. Good thing is that I was quick so only one of them ruined one game, the other 2 didnt have the time.

Please BIS hurry up with the anti-cheat. In other games cheaters are pissing but in this game...when you use to make 4 hours missions....is even more unacceptable.

Did you show them your ban hammer?

Im worried that with the number of copies sold, if they keep banning people they think are cheating there will be no one left to play on the server except the admins.

I dont get play very much online because my mom uses the computer for her website. Im not sure what the website is of, but I can home early one day and my Uncle Bob was taking pictures of my mom naked in the back yard and I think it has something to do with that. But when I do play online, it always hard to find people to play with.

Just now, on the Volcbat server, somebody was spawning zombies, Abrams, T72s, BMPs, Generals at the airbase. What the eff?
