Thothie - Hijacking Silent's Post
---------------------------------------

REPORTING CHEATERS, LLAMAS, H4X0RZ, AND OTHER TROUBLE MAKERS

Step #1 - Get an ID: After finding someone who annoys you so much you just have to have them banned, bring down your console (~) and type "status" (sans quotes). You will see something along these lines:
Image
* ID's altered to protect the guilty

Steam_ID's begin with "STEAM" and end with the space following, as highlighted in the examples above. Be sure to give us the Steam ID in its entirety.

You can drag over a Steam_ID with your cursor, highlight it, right click on it, and clip copy to ease this process, assuming you know how to copy and paste. ;)


Step #2 - Post Here: All you'll need to report is:
- Steam_ID in it's entirety, as described
- name
- time stamp (when it happened, include your time zone - note: server is GMT-8:00)
- a description of the offense
- and server (currently just specify TFC or NS).

H4x reports generally require backup witnesses and/or a demo.

We do not ban for abusive language, nor for abuse that only extends to your person (team shooting you cuz you called him a name, or what not). The offender must be disrupting the game in some way. The length of the ban will vary with the severity of the disruption.

We also do not ban for cheap play style. So long as you are helping your team, and ye ain't hacking, we don't care. You can pipe enemy spawns, you can block vents with com chairs (or well, you could if you built them), and you are much more likely to be banned for not chasing than for chasing. We don't really care.

Generally speaking, we are much more laxed about rules on the TFC server than on the NS server - but we have our limits.

We give temp bans for anything we deem disruptive, the level of which is determined solely by the admin applying the ban. People who are banned may appeal to the forums, but we will require a Steam_ID and a description of the offense. Repeat offenders will be banned permanently. Those who try to bypass bans, by changing ID's or what not, will also be banned permanently and fire-walled.

We do not have a strict policy, but here are some example offenses we typically ban for:
(NS)
- Early Recycling
- Early "Gorge Forting"
- /stuck abuse / map exploiting
(TFC)
- Flag Holding
- Pipe Lagging
- Team Shooting / Infecting
(Either)
- h4x (speed, wall, aimbot, etc.)
- Server sabotage (eg. deliberate crashing)
- Any attempt to team sabotage or otherwise throw the game

DO NOT PM/E-mail ADMINS IN REGARDS TO THESE ISSUES OR YOU WILL BE IGNORED

DO NOT DEBATE CHEATER REPORTS AGAINST YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS IN THE CHEATER'S THREAD - make a new thread, if it's that important.

Went in shortly after the post, but didn't find him. On the plus side, I banned devilchrist for flag holding... twice.

Anyways, on a roll here... policing the server for almost a month now. Woot.

Lol... sorry, it didn't quite register in my head...

JP's thought process:

NS server = incident-free, admin intervention-less utopia
TFC server = problems by default. trouble probably be brewing here.

Been tempbanned twice by my records, once under another ID. Now if I had a timestamp I could hunt down an IP, but oh well. ;)

Damnit... I knew I shoulda quit reading while I was ahead... Now I gotta do work. (Hope forum time stamps match up with the server's.)

edit: Yay they do, although only because the server and I happen to be in the same time zone. ;) - Okies, gone by IP this time.

Should not have admitted that. Now we're never going to accept excuses.

Don't you think you would make your job alot easier if you didn't give temp bans. If they really think they didn't do anything wrong they'll find there way here and make a plea...

Generally we're pretty gentle at Jiggly's. These one-week bans I hand out willy nilly on the TFC server are pretty extreme as it is.

Granted, some bans are longer than others, and most people don't get a second chance (only reason this guy did is the second guy to ban him wasn't me.)

I know, and it be set right, but I wasn't sure if it was going to play nice with the TZ on other people's posts. Unfortunately, it does.

"eighteenspikes" STEAM_0:1:9554773

Spawning rocket launchers, miniguns and any other gun in spawn with some sort of bind he says, exploit or something. It was pretty cool running at sniper speed with a minigun + sniper rifle :D
