Seriously, stop complying about a hacker and do something about it.
Instead of kicking them just send a god damn report the mods/gms look at the reports -~-;..
This is mainly referring to the dumb ****ing kids who complain about **** and doesn't do anything about it. If you know [and are already sending] (how to) send reports great.

As a community, would you rather F12, and ban the hacker your self. Getting rid of the problem instead of moving the problem? Human nature doesn't remove the problem they do a two step - ignore and move type deal. (Reefers to medicine)

Seriously, just ban the little ****ers and they're be one less ****ing hacker.

Okay, let's see which one is easier...

hit escape + kick vote + Hacker's IGN + Ok

wait 'til game is over + save replay + label replay + write down hacker's IGN + alt+tab + Internet browser + z8games + login + Support + Web form.

Or you're not talking about the days back in suba, but rather about the first few month or let it be half a year in 09/10 with z8.

I remember that latter part, 2009-2010...we switched over to Xtrap on thanksgiving, and from that point; till about April/May- literally there was NO HACKERS because it was a whole different anti-cheating engine that the hackers had to break down and learn to bypass that. Then the summer came and I experienced my full-fledged hacking spree on a per-game basis.
I remember during that hack-free time our biggest problem was a Black screen at the end game score screen during Halloween and then some sort of Dcing thing (can't recall too well) during Christmas.

The reason why the hacking wasn't as bad back then was because the game wasn't as popular...

there are people with no lives living in a basement off of energy drinks and twinkies...

Really, it doesn't seem to be that hard to crack this game since it's using an out-dated engine with some really odd yet simple coding.

Miami is totally right, as usual, that one MAJOR cause of hackers is due to the popularity of this F2P game, as well as it being played on an OLD game engine, similar to CS.

And stop hatin on the basement rats.... The twinkies are delic and red bull gives you wings.

Oh I would mention you tigaaa, but it's just obvious you are venting and tired. I'm tired too of the situation, but I'm trying to keep a sane face. Oh and I think your stats need revision.

X-trap is made to filter out the hacks.
Support is made to ban the ones that slip through X-trap.
Community is supposed to kick the hackers on sight and report.

But because no one kicks, hackers are able to play.
Because hackers are able to play, more players start hacking.
Because more players want to start hacking, hack makers have more motive to make hacks.
Because hack makers have more motive, X-trap can't keep up with the hacks.
Because X-trap can't keep up with the hacks, Support is flooded with hack reports.
Because Support is flooded with hack reports, hackers rarely get banned.
Because hackers rarely get banned, more players are willing to hack.

Its a cycle that begins because a big group of players are more concerned with kicking low ping players then keeping the game hack free. Get rid of this portion of players that don't care about fair play at all and it will start to recover.

That's some logic you got there O_O

I lol'd at the rages.

People are stupid, you can't deny that

Solution:Play with your friends or clanmates 8vs8 or something like that to get ur dailys done and then do cws.Stopped playing in normal rooms since 40% of the time there is a hacker or a hacker will come during the game and nobody kicks him unless the team is currently winning.Also i reported hackers,saved every replay and send it to z8 to get them banned,but still i see the mayors and high ranks that i reported continue playing and hacking,so it's useless to report them.

If there was an in-game reporting feature, it would be very easily abused by immature children who think anyone who kills them is automatically a hacker.

Because it'd be abused, more reports would be sent in, which means that it would take longer for G4 employees to review replays. Because it would take longer to review so many replays, the banning of 'potential' hackers would also take much longer.

Lol I forgot about that. I feel bad for Combat Arms...

Then again it really doesn't take that much time see someone who is shoots through walls or aimbotting amirite?

It depends on when the hacker actually starts to use his hack(s). And of course, it's not always so obvious to tell if someone is hacking or not, depending on what hack(s) they're using.

Well lets see:

It depends on when the hacker actually starts to use his hack(s)

I'm pretty sure the people reviewing the replay have their IGN already. So time really isn't an issue.

+Fast Forward and +Rewinding...

And of course, it's not always so obvious to tell if someone is hacking or not, depending on what hack(s) they're using.

I was manly talking about the obvious ones such as One Hit KO, shooting through walls...

@Roll0ut: I your missing BB code... URLs are SO MUCH fun! (jk)

OT: what was the topic of the thread again?

Maybe someone already mentioned this, but I'll say it anyway: IP bans don't work. If I were to get IP banned I could change it in a about 2 minutes and be back. It's doesn't take a computer genius to know how to do that.

THAT WOULD BE NICE IF Z8 WOULD ACTUALLY START DOING THEIR DAM JOBS AND START BANNING PEOPLE PERMANENTLY I STILL SEE PEOPLE IVE REPORTED3 MONTHS AGO SHOOTING THRU WALLS PLAYING ON THE SERVERS SO THEIR AUTO BAN IS A COMPLETE FAILURE AND THEY PROBABLY HAVE A LEAK IN THEIR COMPAny security since after hack patches the little basterds are at it again.a neverending story./

Not to mention they're let off with a slap on the wrist (meaning a suspension of 30 days).

That's because he's been caught by XTrap. G4 bans people permanently when they hack.

Who cares just kick them, it kinda works.

Nothing will change CF is well CF.

Edit: Lastly, I also think that not as much hacks are being reported because someone doesn't want to take the time and go to the support page and fill out all of the steps required and to provide evidence.

I think people are apathetic about reporting. Yes, Z8 has made the reporting process a lot more streamlined than it was before, but I think there are many who are getting fed up that they report someone for hacking and nothing (or a very minor punishment) really gets done.
