Side note on Auto-Ban
Yes, I was banned because of this system, but that doesn't mean I have to go hate-crazy on it for a false positive.
The system is working. The only reason people aren't recognizing it being effective is because we have THAT many hackers in this game. It may be slow right now, but I'm sure it will become much more efficient once it gets through the thick glob of cheaters we have infesting this game.
The one good thing that came out of my ban was me realizing that Z8 was serious about this, and any little trace of a recognized file or folder can get you banned.
So in all, be patient. This may take a little more time than just waiting on a new patch or the revealing of it's contents, hundreds of thousands of users have to be sorted through, and it will do it, thoroughly.

Yeah, The number of hackers has gone down. The number being banned is increasing every day. -

1) Yes I did, it was a malicious program.( I should add that it wasn't Crossfire related.)FlyleafVevo wrote: »1)so did you figure out what caused you to get banned?
2)what did you do to get unbanned?
3)is z8games not confident in there new detection software to lift the ban?
2) It's in the other thread if you can find it.
3) It was most likely my fault. -

don't be auto woodcutting yews in runescape.
i didn't find what exactly you did other than send a support ticket. but i have to think that if one gets caught by the detection system, they are guilty until proven innocent. you managed to find a way to convince z8 support staff you are legit. but what about all the other people that say they don't cheat but are banned for random malicious programs? that's going to be a lot of work for support unbanning every one. or maybe they just do this for you. i guess this is one of the tweaks that need to be worked out.
support doesn't always answer questions and not every body is going to send a ticket to get their account back. This system kind of leaves them in the dust. Even though i think every cheater of any kind should be banned.
Also i feel the hack numbers are actually increasing not decreasing. it's mostly 1 shot and aimbot, not so many speeders.
is this system really worth it hmmmm it sounds like a dream come true. but still, i think they are just taking the long way to the gold mine. it would be easier just to ban brazil. lol. then go from there. -

I didn't convince anyone of anything, I told them the truth. That's all. And Saidin sums it up in three of his posts on that thread.
I am not taking measures to avoid this happening again, like recording every game and I have installed AVG. (Wasn't my idea, but someone said it was good.) -
I agree aswell that hacker numbers have been decreasing graciously fast.
but still... what will u say when everytime u install something, that is recognised by the new A-H system as a threat (and its not malicious software for CF), and u get banned for 7 days? :S
that's the only problem i can point here... -
There could only be a few programs that could be seriously labeled as malicious software wrongly. I don't see a problem, besides what happened to me, with it.PictMeRollin wrote: »I agree aswell that hacker numbers have been decreasing graciously fast.
