People with no lives. Sociopaths. We've had plenty of people say they weren't hacking when there was indisputable proof and it carried on for pages. In this case, there isn't as hard evidence (I really wish Risen had a demo) so, hence, shitstorm.
Request for unban

If you are not the person that was banned/muted, you are only allowed to post evidence. Trash talk is unnecessary.

True, I actually didn't know you could ban ip. It makes little difference, you can download programs that send a proxy ip anyways.
Hard evidence? There seems to be none at all, just an admin who thinks he saw a guy hack.
Yes, enjoy trying to play your game on a vpn. You're certainly not going to get one with high enough performance for free.
Stop messing around.

If that is the message he wants delivered, it has been posted on the reddit thread. Anything else?
I honestly don't see why he hasn't been unbanned yet. One admin thinks he might have been hacking, so he gets banned? What kind of community is this?
I realize I'm 9 pages late into this thread, but it is very possible that a spotty wifi connection can cause speedhack-like responses server-side. If you're dropping a lot of packets, you'll show up on the server as moving very erratically. If your connection is bad enough, you'll literally jet across the map once the server catches up with your slow connection.
Seriously, this is Wireless Networking 101 stuff here, guys. Anybody who's played FPS games for any length of time knows this. Source Engine is notorious for being particularly vulnerable to lag-related issues like this. Bott mentioned cl_predict 1, however this doesn't always work as it's intended to. It breaks just after nearly every other engine build update, along with a dozen other server-side commands.
Just saying, it's perfectly reasonable for somebody to suggest that a spotty wifi connection can cause movement that would appear to look like a speedhack.
However, this just goes to show the importance of recording a demo. A demo will show us his movements, which you can make reasonable assumptions on his packet loss (if any) on.
Oh? In your community you put up suspected hackers for vote on the forums until at least five other admins reply while the person is still hacking on the server? Then you go to ban them and they're already gone because they got bored. Sounds like a great way to do it.
This is a community which tries to keep things in order. If someone is hacking are you really going to have him run around all free and wait until he does it again for you to catch him? They want to keep it safe and fun. If he wasn't hacking and wants to prove it, that is what ban appeals are for. The immediate action was to prevent any further incidents. I agree with the actions Risen did.
I considered giving him the benefit of the doubt but then I
I think the issue was that he wasn't jumping around. Just moving faster. I agree. I think we'll have a private conversation among admins after this is over.
Banning someone on what an admin thinks might have happened is pretty stupid. It isn't letting a hacker run wild, it's just a brain dead way to handle things.
I think at this point it's moved from 'you're a hacker explain yourself' to 'and now you want to drag our name through the mud.'
lol, actually, based on previous appeals that i've lurked in if he hadn't gone to reddit and started being a dick over there he probably would have been completely unbanned by now.
So...until a decision is made...they should just let him run around? Precautions prevent disasters.
