@ Skrewup
Wow.. I guess it doesn't matter what I say - my words will get twisted to the wrong way.

What I was trying to say, is that I want to _know_ if there are ways to cheat, so I will be able to distinguish between a legit player or an exploiter.

If you are saying it like that, the whole Anti-Cheat staff should be banned from playing assist aswell.. because they also tried to figure out this stuff.


Anti-Cheat guys need to know how cheat works in order to do their work

- but that doesn't mean that they actually do cheat.

Anti-Malware guys probably need to know how a virus or malware works
- but that doesn't mean that they actually spread viruses.

What I am trying to say is, that in order to really know the bad stuff, you need to make contact with it -  and not just stay oblivious of it and demonize it.


Anyways thanks for your input Skrewup.

If you don't have a chance to be unbanned, why is there even a forum to appeal?

You created it for banned people to appeal, so you created it for a reason!
But now all I can see is "He used poke once" he deservers to be banned - doesn't matter what the reason was.

This feels like I am living in the medievals.
"You either jump down and survive - then you're a witch - or you die and you've proven you're innocent"
eh - what?

So what am I supposed to do?


To be fair, I do understand where you admins are coming from.
Being strict is one thing, and is probably needed to get rid of cheaters.

But again what's the point of these forums (appeal forums), if you dont even spare a thought about unbanning the banned?
If you don't consider unbanning me, please tell me so I don't have to waste my time and get my hopes up.

Also I don't see whats so bad about giving a second chance.
If I do it again - I'll just be banned again.


Anyways thanks for taking your time.
Also thanks to tidididi, wickid and zoxee for standing up for me!


Best Regards

Well, what else can I say?

After I got the temp ban, I've searched the aao25 forums, and had an interesting read.
Therefore...
If I really wanted to cheat, I could've tried EditObj or a way better Poke command than admintalk.

I am a fair player at heart, especially when it comes to skillbased games.
But that is exactly why I am curious.

I want to know if there is a 'legal' way to have an edge over other players - just like the run & gun exploit back in 2.4 or diverse .ini tweaks.
Luckily all of those are taken care off by various mods and cvars.

Anyways back then, as far as I can remember, you didn't even get a global ban for using real hacks - you just got kicked and maybe banned from the server itself for using a detected hack (unless ACI protected).

All in all who doesn't want to know if theres an unfair advantage others might have and a lot of players are oblivious off?

It's up to you now.
Thanks for your input so far.

Best Regards

No, I've been playing AA since 2006(?).

I just didn't remember my aaotracker login after they merged with battletracker in 2009.
This is my old account: http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/511739/

Banning players for using Poke on an empty server is like possessing a gun (legally) and getting sent to jail for shooting into the air. (As far as I am concerned this is legal - I am not american, so I wouldn't know ^^).

Also this is the command I tried:
Code: [Select]
// PlayerReplicationInfo Pokes (these only are visible to you)
Poke PlayerReplicationInfo Bridge.PlayerReplicationInfo bAdmin true // talks as an admin

Again, I think that this is kinda harsh, considering that the command I tried doesn't even do anything besides my own client.

Hey there,

so I was curious about that poke stuff and tried it out.

I am not sure how detailed your logs are - but I actually joined an empty server just to test it out.
Got a temp ban for 24h on this peculiar server.
No harm done.

Few days later I got a global ban.
Isn't this a bit harsh?

Hope you don't mind unbanning me.
Thanks in advance.
