People votebanning.

[anthongy817]

Hi, I'm = and I have been playing on your server for a few months now. I have started to notice lately that after the hackers attacked there has been many people accusing anybody that is owning are hacking.

I write this because i was just votebanned in de_port with somebody accusing me of killing them across the map with a m4...

The two people that accused me of hacking were »¦Çø¦« Djbabyluigi=Кдм and Blackspyda.

At that time there were only 7 players including me. Both of them votebanned me and another person that JUST jointed votebanned as well.

I find it very irritating that there are so many people that are accusing somebody of hacking without any evidence behind it.

That is an odd phenomonon in CS. I dont think it matters what server or how bad you actually are if you go on a descent run of kills you will be accused of hax. I believe most of it is ignorance =o).

It's very unfortunate that some ppl get votebanned even though they don't hack, but keep in mind that it's only for a short time. If we removed the vote ban campletely, there wouldn't be a way to vote ban a real hacker if need be.

True! This server has at least 1 Admin on ALMOST 24/7!! and voteban will not work when an Admin is on the server.

If and when there is no admin online the voteban is a must!

To get Voteban to work 60% of players on the server must voteban the same player.

The banned player can return in 30 Min's.

That was funny chifus ;D


I agree with the Original Poster and others. is this voteban thing customizable? Because 60% is pretty easy to do just to get rid of a good player & it affects my play when people start to do that to me. I don't see why I should play less than my best because voteban enables worse players to vote me out easily. If a real hacker enters the game, everyone knows it & will voteban. You could easily make this 90% & it would work just as well for what you want it to be & prevent the abuse by nubs who are jealous of better players.

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE BETTER THAN ME? YOU MUST BE A HACKER! VOTEBAN.

It happens ALOT!!!!!!! And since you can't voteban when an admin is present, by definition no admin has ever seen this happen. It happens ALOT!!!!!!!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

I have changed both the vote_kick and vote_ban to 80%

Please let me know it this helps or not.

FInally, people start agreeing with my post last time around about people votebanning at night time when there is only a few people on. THanks for the fix Edco.

[spatula]

>.> people will try to votekick someone (like me) if they get stuck somewhere because of something like reincarnation of vengeance, it's a little irritating..and stupid.

Maybe 70% would be better , 80% take WAY too long to ban a real hacker that will leave when there's 1 ban remaining to ban him.. I just experimented it today , people are lazy , 20% of them won't vote , 5% of them will vote after several demands when they have nothing else to do better than voting... It took at least from 7 to 10 minutes(if its not more) to get a hacker votebanned ( he was aimbotting , was owning everyone , and he even had the time to leave when there's 1 vote remaining )

If you play at night , or morning , maybe 70% is not enough , maybe you will get banned for no reason because you own today , but you can come back in 30 minutes , real hackers won't come back.

80% is fine. I no longer feel like I'm in danger of a voteban because I'm doing well.

Maybe you think it's okay for a good player to be forced to take a break by the players, but I probably don't play as much as you so when I'm on fire I want to enjoy that time.

I've seen all the real hackers get votebanned so fast at 80% that you can see the boot in their ass as they leave the game. It's those questionable players that you are probably referring to that just play better than you would like them to & you can't figure out how they're doing it so you automatically conclude that they're aimbotting. But the reason you don't get 80% agreement is because you're just pissed off & he isn't aimbotting at all, and everyone else can see it. 80% protects the good players that you can't figure out.

[bobo]

No , your all wrong , first of all aimbot is as easy as speed hack to see , 2nd , the only reason i wont get the 80% so quick is because of afk people and other that are alive , and will not pay attention to the voteban untill they dead , mostly. What are you trying to do ? Accuse me of something i don't do? I think YOU conclude your own thing , you havent been here yesterday , this guy was definetly aimbotting , even look at the "report a hacker" section , he got banned , watch the demo yourself , i dont "automatically conclude" that every1 who kill me hacks , most of times it's ALL jokes but you dont see this part.

If you feel your always in danger of votebanning there must something wrong , most of people won't voteban for no reason like you said , some do , but its exception. I dont voteban "questionable" player , i'll try and demo them , but i find it very interesting that once i go spectator they sudently no more questionable player , but "noob" player.

I still think that 70% would better for both hacker and non-hacker.

I don't even like it when it says "...3 votes until voteban" when it's on me. It f**ks up my game. I don't like it.
