Oh I see, and what about Name Changing, why was I told on the support service that it was a trouble to catch cheaters who change IGN?? Isn't it log'd on each account?? He haven't got banned and he cheated 3months ago. I still have the replay yet the support services tells me "its hard to find who he is"... -

Today we are here to announce that after a long investigation on many accounts we have closed 1000 accounts in Cross Fire because they were breaking our Terms and Conditions.
*please note* This is in addition to the regular daily systems and checks we do.
We always strive to maintain the best quality of life for the game. This includes improving our autoban and hack detection software as well as working with X-trap on a near-daily basis to stop the latest malicious programs from entering in to our game.
These bannings combined with recent updates to X-Trap are just proof that Z8Games continues to take the situation within its games seriously and that we'll stop at no lengths to do our part to maintain a quality of life in the game.
It should be noted here that you should keep your account secure. Any player who is able to play on your account that is not you MAY break our rules. And as such, get the account banned. There is nothing we can do about this. If more than 1 person uses the account, or it is shared, and breaks our rules we hold the account responsible.
Do not give your password or account information to anyone. Do not use hacking programs and make sure to regularly scan your computer for keyloggers and other malware/viruses.
For more information on our policies please review our Terms of Use.
this is awesome but Many people have viruses on your computer and do not know -

My suggestion here would be to spend less time searching up players who you think should be banned and more time finding legit player to have fun with in game.
Considering the situation in game is not nearly as grim as the majority assumes it is (also the reason why we continue to get countless false hack reports). You'd probably have more fun with friends than spending time searching up potential hackers.
yea i know, if you play a 8v8 room with all friends/clan mates then you don't have to worry about hackers. I also agree when you say the situation isn't as bad as people exaggerate it to be. The only problem is when there is a hacker, some people in the room won't kick him because they want a win for missions/kills etc. -

Huge thumbs up -

Name changing is not a way to avoid bans, it's certainly not a way to avoid detection and yes we have records of all name changes. -
How many of these bans are actually permanent, and not seven day suspensions?
They are permanent
You gotta remember guys, this is on top of the report bans and autodetection bans and when they say 1000+... its well over 1000.
This is a good thing and more are to undoubtably come. -

I expected it to be straight up, thanks for the clarification -
OK
ok what what keeps the person that is hacking from just making a new account ...keep thier high ranked account clean make a new account hack on that and then when it gets banned make a new account....cant yall ban ip's or firewall them that might keep the numbers down.....just an idea -

Exactly. Thats the issue all F2P games face. Also please dont suggest IP banning, because they are issued and have been proven to be ineffective in stopping them.
Firewall them? -
I think 1000 is too few accounts banned. Why?? banean only say that the bills, but because the IP banean?? banean IP and if the only thing that the player had to do was reset the moderm, something quite easy to do, I do not complain much because US1m game, a Latin Server, for example, enters a hack to the room, immediately removed, no pity or hacks and noobs who see what they say, Oh this will win the game.

or
How about banning all accounts that the hackers ip shows up on...i see smile face hackers all the time or atleast lower ranking......the top players know they can get away with hacking just by making many accounts and using the ****ty accounts to hack on....and there are hacking clans our there to how about banning the whole clan if ya find more then 5 members in the clan hacking or more.....i don't know but its getting to a point where its hard to play without a speeder coming in and wiping out my whole team and you cant even kick them in MM or HERO mode...please please think about banning ip's or firewalling the ip where they cant connect to yalls servers anymore also there are many websites offering cheats how about having people go to the sites and get the cheats and send them to you so you can find a way to stop them or detect them.... -
Btw guys, the banning of 1000 account means that these are the accounts that were caught and flagged.
This implies that if the autodection didnt ban them, then the hackers account was flagged one way or another and then a widespread ban was issued to all flagged accounts.
This ALSO implies that the autodetection is doing its job if there was less flagged accounts than last time a ban like this was issued.
Finally, this ALSO implies that there arent as many cheaters out there as people claim to think. If only 1000+ accounts were flagged, then why werent there more?
Chances are that someone was banned that you saw ingame and made a new account and you mistook that for a second person and another cheating account thats playing when that is not true. -
This will be the last time I say this.
These bans are above and beyond the REGULAR bannings we do every day.
Our auto detect system can detect a ton of hacks and issue a ton of bans per day too.
The auto system does not stop because we closed a bunch of accounts. -
You know I try to steer clear from being a little direct towards people, but most of you are being pretty ungrateful and very ridiculous. Just TODAY, 1000 accounts were closed for reasons that violated their Terms of Service. Would you rather none were closed? There's no pleasing the lot of you is there?
It was the public who said they wanted to hear more about what was going on behind the scenes and today, just today, 1000 accounts were closed due to such violations. There is A LOT of red tape and evidence that must be reviewed before an account can be justified for permanent closure, legal red tape. They are in essence denying service and as such must go through the appropriate channels before closing them. Ungrateful people. Seriously. Be happy that ANY accounts were closed and be happy that Saidin took the time to tell you. Next time, when you complain AGAIN that he doesn't tell you enough about what is going on, here is an example why.
End rant. -

What?nice, but its only the half way you go. the system must stop automaticly speed and other hacks. i do not understand. it is so simple to detect speed, you not use it.
If its so simple, then please, go right ahead and do it. You clearly know how.
Ive said this before a hundred times... literally.
XTrap cant detect what it doesnt know. XTrap doesnt KNOW these hacks exist so therefore it cant block them. -
Right
I think anyone that is cheating on the ip should be banned if one person is doing it ..then it should cost all the people on that ip their accounts...if my brother is cheating and i don't stop him and i lose my account its my fault if someone is using a computer in your house and is cheating both of you should be banned....you as a person should have enough honor to stop the person from hacking or report them yourself
