Unban him and it will be a matter of time until he's banned again. Even if he wasn't hacking (he undoubtedly was) if his play style 'while drinking so much coke' (seriously? This is your excuse?) is such that his mouse movements become aimbot-like (impossible unless you seriously have a physical handicap or do it on purpose), we'll just get another demo of his Parkinson's riddled kills and ban him again.

Also, anyone who comes on the forum and pleads their case by stating 'I've played CS since it came out I've never had to hack because I'm soooo goooooooood' is a hacker.

I would not go overturning confirmed bans (by two ULAs and one clan, at that, all three of which REFUSE to ban ANYONE unless CLEAR and CONCISE evidence is provided in demo form) because the old demos are no longer viewable. That sets a very dangerous precedent. myg0t gonna be all over this forum posting unban requests. :P

No precedent, jw. And if he was banned right away then no big deal. My guess here is a source bug, which we've seen before, or he dl'ed some hacks, got banned right away, and got rid of them. Our population in the servers and here has been decreasing recently, so if one of those things happened he should be welcome here.

Annoy and I are in the process of opening that old demo in an old version of CSS we have found. Trying to record it via 3rd party program and having issues. The demo in the forums won't even load completely. I'll post here if we make any progress.


Edit: Update on what's going on, we can't view the demo properly because we don't have the WCS files. So everytime a WCS only thing happens it crashes. Anyone have some pre-update WCS files? lmao

Edit#2: I was able to grab the current WCS files and then pick through them and place them where they belong on the old verson and we have a working demo! We are going to record it and post it somewhere.

As of right now, there are no signs of him hacking. All his "random" shots can be explained by surround sound, which you will not be able to hear in the demo since 3rd party apps won't record surround sound. We will try to point them out as we go. Also, there is no shaky crosshair or anything. I'll update when we have a link to the video.

Will a system rollback do? Just wondering...

i've talked to zero about this, and as the admin who submitted the successful perma ban request, i take over responsibility as banning admin. as banning admin, i reserve the right to revoke the ban at any time for any reason.

shark, i'm choosing to unban you. to other admins: this sets no precedent, you will never be required nor encouraged to unban hackers. this one doesn't stick in my head as particularly overt, and we've seen source glitches before. just know this shark: if you are hacking, i can and will catch you, no matter how clever you think you are with it. one thing that could help is to make sure your rates are correct: rate 30000, cl_cmdrate 67, cl_updaterate 67. i've seen people look super jittery, fix their rates, and they're golden.

enjoy your time on the servers and i encourage you to stick around the forums as well. crazy shit happens here sometimes. crazy shit like this.

unbanned, closed.
