but seriously, admins less than 3 months shouldnt have ban, just kick maybe?
worst case, they can ALWAYS find admins on the server, even at night, whether the admins are hardcore addicted players staying till 5~6 am (like myself), or ppl that are abroad and that happen to be playing during their own daytime" like carina and (rob?) etc...
Well for one case, I am just pointing out taz because I know he has not been playing cs for long. He played cs for like less then a month then got admin. Anyone that has been playing cs for less then a month should not be able to ban period. I would almost suggest some kind of points system and once you wrongfully banned too many you lose the right to ban. I dunno though, I feel like the solution should be fixed from the source, and that is reallly being able to detect hackers.

I also feel that you really need to be pretty good at cs and lots of experience just to be able to actually spot a hacker. I suggested the non perma ban hacker thing in a different thread and I got some negative responses from more senior admins (namely maynard). He pointed out that it hackers need to be banned perma, we just need to be able to spot them better. Which I do agree with him.

Just based on some of the wrongful bans I have seen, a lot of them have come from some guy in the game basically spamming saying this guy is hacking and gathering others to his cause. It seems that most admins here just give in and get some bad demo and ban them. i.e.(http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4636) Hallwagner can be guilty of this, and Kavinskys demo on Fluffy is basically the same thing. He is spamming the admin about fluffy hacking it's about ridiculus. I praise hmd brian for not banning fluffy, because he felt like he wasn't hacking, which was the right call.

Some regulars and admins have the mindset of well they can't be better then me, it has to be hacks. Or they get mad and want to perma ban them, so they take a demo of them and once they find something or anything suspcious they ban them. These bans are complete bullshit, and that is what happened to this guy. (http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4713) He has now been banned for 3 months due to an admin banning him because basically he was getting owned.

I really think unless the hacks are really obvious, like screen jerking and shaking while headshot left and right, basically shooting through objects to own people, you know REAL obvious hacks. I think it should be put in ban requests. The community could then watch the demo and share opinions on whether it was hacks or not.
