CappyCappy 33 Posted July 12, 2017 Going by the screenshots, you can't really tell much. For future bans like this, Spoopy, you need to record a demo. You'll just get situations like this if you don't. Anywho, I'm just going to throw a shot in the dark and give this a +1 for an unban. If you look at the second screenshot, Spoopy provided, you can see the barrel of the sniper rifle. Giving Shining the benefit of the doubt that he indeed has a good perception in-game. And let's be honest. How many times do people go to a "sniping" spot, die, and go right back to the spot? Whenever I'm on the servers, that literally is the case. It could easily be that Cappy got predicted multiple times. And lets say the guy actually was hacking. If he is unbanned, comes back, and is dumb enough to actually hack again after a "get out of jail free card"; staff should record the hacking and follow up with a ban. 1. I wasn't using the same spot. I used many different spots across the map. 2. Getting killed by me and other people on the server repeatedly in open areas isn't exactly good in-game perception. 1 Goblins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest 309 Posted July 12, 2017 Is there really that much to discuss here? While screenshots can provide context, by no means should they alone be substantiated enough to warrant a permanent ban for hacking, especially when the screenshots aren't even that credible provided the following facts: It's common to camp a corner Audio cues from behind the wall Tendency for a Player to be behind said-wall Facing the direction that the user will be shooting I'm sorry, but screenshots of someone facing a wall when it just so happens that someone is behind it does not equate to a permanent ban for wall-hacking. With that said, while not relevant, the accused even has 1,811 hours recorded for TF2 on top of 382/520 achievements which is something to consider; anyone hacking could just as easily create a new Steam account and play TF2 as it is F2P without worrying about their main account facing any sort of ban/suspension. Now I'm not saying that the Moderator wrongly accused the Player, nor am I saying that the Player 100% did not hack. All I'm saying is that there just is not enough given here to warrant a permanent ban for hacking, which is why I'm going to +1 for an unban. TL;DR - Players should be treated as innocent until proven guilty; not the other way around. Evidence is not clear enough to warrant a permanent ban for hacking. 3 Vargas, realBelloWaldi and virr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thorax_ 539 Posted July 12, 2017 Players should be treated as innocent until proven guilty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=PqLNr7GMWB0;t=29 I had too. No regrets. But after reading further responses, I have changed my mind, although the screenshots do show suspicious activity; it is not enough proof... as mentioned the chat log doesn't help their case but still... +1 for unban and a warning for the hack binds 2 1 Vacindak, realBelloWaldi and CappyCappy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vector 138 Posted July 12, 2017 Are we just going to ignore that in the chat logs, he's advertising hacks and @Vexx told us, that even advertising hacks is a permable offense? If we are perming for advertising hacks then shouldn't he stay banned and just change the reasoning to advertising hacks/trolling? Because if not, then we have to talk about this. @Aegean @Vexx @virr @Sesh @mrnutty12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
