ideas to keep hackers away

Ungeliable · September 2011

we all know that the hacking situation is crazy now, there are at least 2 hackers in every room. i making this thread because i want to gether some ideas to some or most keep hacker away, u can also post ur ideas too.
-IP Restrictions obvious didnt work well on hackers
-auto-ban system only can ban old hacks
the ideas like vip system from CF China and high rank servers are really great and these are something that Z8 can do (but they never did, i dont know why) or like remove win missions or FFA/HM/MM mode from the mission, because these are the hackers first choice to play and they have minor chance to get kiked and it will let people stop been eager to win so they dont kick hacker or f12 hacker in their team in other games

(i know these ideas have been suggested 100times, but plz Z8 do it if u could. u dont wanna play pub games now...)
and guys if u have idea that u think it would work feel free to share it.

The VIP system is a must with a retro-active anti-cheat that takes months to update. This would stop the real problem ie right now shooting through the walls and before that speeders.

you have to look at why cheaters cheat. Mostly you'll find them in the daily missions, especially the missions that require wins, followed by the ones the require a certain number of kills. This has been my experience anyway. In the missions where all you have to do is play a certain number of games it seems to me there is much less cheating. I could be wrong but you need to look at the reasons why they cheat and what they gain from it. Then you can find ways to take those things away and make their cheating less profitable. If there is nothing to gain by cheating they will quickly loose interest on move on. Consider this, a mode where k/d and win/loss is not affected, there is no loss or gain of gp. Other than to be a jerk what profit would there be to cheat in a mode like this?

High rank servers could work.

that punishes people who make new accounts and limits whom you can play with, if you have a friend starting out as example. I see high ranks cheat as well they are not afraid of being banned and believe nothing will happen to them.

LTs can still join the low rank servers so they are not really limited. High Ranks cheat too but there are more low rank hackers then high rank hackers and once they are banned they have to start again.

Yeah ur right but the majority of hackers are still low rankers. This idea can't keep them all away but at least some or most of them, and it is something GMs can do to improve the gameplay.

Personally I am not a great fan of the VIP system, because it makes the games very unfair and makes players play the game with the fear of being kicked without a valid reason.

Simply, users will tend to abuse the system rather than use it wisely against hackers. A VIP may kick someone on the other team simply because they got pwned by them.

Its just like the vote kick, but only 1 opinion (VIP) gets heard.

-1. High rank isn't too bad. But "low rankers" hate hackers just as much as veteran members do. So that's kinda unfair but +1.

I think we should use this Thread as a collection for anti hacker ideas.

Kasperspy for example has a mode that forbids other programs to edit or change other programs. If someone uses this mode and he tries to start a hack Kasperspy will deny the access to crossfire.exe.

There are a lot of any wallhack tools for counter strike, I don't know how they work but they do. In counter strike you won't see someone shot through all the walls.

Maybe z8 can add more online GMs to go around the mission rooms and just for banning hackers not for playing. Ban one hack just take them few seconds, if one GM just ban 20 hackers a day 5 GMs 100 hacker a day. it will be much less hackers in other games. GM can choose win mission, TD, FFA rooms to join and find hacker.

They can't afford that. They have to pay all the GMs.

Then host a room, play with friends (like mods advise us to now), play with good hosts.

Which is better.

I don't need a team of brain damaged kids kicking me or f12'ing a hacker shooting through the walls, and if they kick me big deal there is no difference from one brain damaged kid kicking me to 10 of the same.

We need clean rooms where legits can play, VIP system enables this.
