This isn't news.

If you wouldn't mind, yes. When do you plan on doing this? I'd like to get as many people in it to test the map as possible.

This topic is asinine. Look. Bans should require proof (like they used to) because there is the possibility of banning legit players. You can claim to have a perfect streak all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that you can still take a video and discuss it with other admins. Banning people on your own without consulting any of the other anti-cheat members when there is no proof <b>is</b> abuse of authority. Abuse of authority <b>will</b> destroy what's left of the community if it lasts too long. Is that worth catching a few more possible cheaters? Are you kidding me?

In addition to this, you also appear to be making these rash decisions without running them by other members of the staff, which is total bullshit because even I know that running Assist is a team effort. The last thing it needs is a breach of trust among the staff.

Back to the point: You must provide evidence if you honestly care about the truth. Otherwise you should lock this topic and abuse authority further by putting these rules in place anyway.

I really disagree with this. If it's obvious he's wall hacking from viewing him, then use fraps and record it. At least something to show the guy was sketchy. There is just too much room to ban people who do nothing wrong.

Exactly. It looks better for the community and most likely won't drive players away, cursing. Pit, if you didn't catch what I was saying before - if you squeeze the sand to tight, it all slips through your fingers. Incoming players want to see a friendly community, and banning without proof just makes asses out of the whole staff, regardless of their involvement. Find a balance. You're not going to catch every cheater.

All I have to say about this is simply: You have a handful of sand. Your fist represents authority. The sand represents those under your authority. It's up to you to figure out how hard you should squeeze it.

Competing is good, it generates the best content for the users but at the same time it also makes entry really hard. Goose, I don't mean to give you a bad attitude or get you down about working in UnrealEd for AA. If you enjoy it and enjoy the game, keep it up because you are doing good work. I'm just saying, it's frustrating with AA and I'm sure it would be frustrating with another game, just different kinds of frustration. There's no real middle ground unless you're a paid game dev working for a big company

Don't worry, I'm not flipping out. It's just, Max and I found Assist not that long ago, and now AA is dying again. I'm surprised it had two lives, but the only reason it's dying is because stupidity is taking over. People accusing others of cheating left and right is taking over the forum, while other topics just get buried. It's all drama and stupid bullshit now, wheres the enthusiasm?

On a side note, I think the modded servers are helping dig Assist's grave. You probably have, but have you considered "official" servers?

Of course I nailed it. The only subjects anyone posts on anymore is cheaters. This is a total joke. I wish newer games had public editors so I could make something people might actually give to flying fucks about.
