Cheaters Griefers Glitchers and Hackers, what can be done?
« on: December 09, 2011, 07:49:01 AM »
My answer is rather simple, that the devs institute a Vote to Kick option in game, as we all know banning an account won't stop repeat offenders since they're more than willing to just create a new account to continue. Better to allow the players to dispense justice as they see fit when such offenses occur, even with the obvious risks and possibilities of abuse such a system holds.

I would add a poll but I don't see the option, but if you agree then please bump this thread, or make a suggestion of your own if you don't, and if you just happen to know how to  institute a poll feel free to teach me how. (Just figured out how to.)

I don't know of any Glitchers or Hackers.  I saw someone Glitch on sandblasted once in the side of the rock, but I think that has been fixed.  Griefers on the other hand, are everywhere unfortunately.  However I did see a Loki bounce off the roof of thunder rift a little bit ago...

Oh and I agreed btw, because occasionally inappropriate activity occurs when no admins are on.  However keeping it from being exploited would be difficult, like a high % of yes votes to kick.

Disagree. The game has a few glitchers and the occasional base-raping grief-fest, but there arn't any hackers to my knowledge. I don't think there is a big enough problem to introduce such an easily abused measure which will piss-off good players who will inevitably get kicked from pub games due to their skill alone.

I don't want to see us lose good players just because of misunderstandings or general rage by players. There is no reason why this should be implemented as the game stands now. It will only hurt the mod.

I don't know of any hackers. I just know exploitation of poor tactics.
I also know of people raging over something which turns out to be misunderstanding enemy tactics.  :-\

Yeah, I would vote on this if you had some examples of this stuff happening and what your problems in game have been.

The only I have had recently that made me wish their was a way to kick someone was some guy that was just filling up the chat with nonsense, so
much so that people could barely use it to communicate.

I suck!! But WE are AWESOME.  We started a unit.  What's that?!  YOU WANNA TOUCH MY UNIT?!! :P ^^12thVR Recruitment Page(clickthepic) ;)

I haven't seen this in a while, but it is annoying.  Is there a way to block all communication from a player, not just voice?

neg, not really. the administrative staff do an ~ok job as it is. though such a measure may be needed later, as it is, the mod is fine. i have never seen anyone hacking, except for those fellows with landsharking tanks ages ago, and that was moderately amusing for about 30~ minutes before they were banned everywhere. besides kbucy or whatever the fapp he calls himself these days, there is no one that is verbally abusive, except for perhaps coolj and sometimes me, when i abuse people with clan epithets ;_;

there was some anger today, and some questionable decisions and tactics, but unless it had been going on for more than just the tail end of the match/multiple matches, it wasn't a huge issue. besides, the next match was faaaar better ;D.

hopefully those who did make some questionable decisions will make different ones later

I think I've seen hacking before, just once. Someone was able to consistently shoot straight through solid objects and obstacles. Of course, that was XI.

An Atlas run ending with Demos parked in the middle of enemy mainbase hangar is mandatory at that point. ;D (Yes, I have been on the receiving end, and if the round is irreversibly LOLWUT anyway, all extra mayhem is welcome.)

Considering I've had idiots try to claim I was cheating by hammering their Huit with MRMs in a Hawkmoth and dodging their fire while constantly circle-strafing over them, I'm gonna have to say that this is a bad idea.
