If you experience hackers or abusive behaviour on one of our servers, please report it to us so we can deal with the problem. This applies to everyone who plays on our servers, including clan members and admins, as we take such offensives seriously in Techious.

The correct reporting procedure is PMing myself (Skillers) or Si with the following information;
Name(s) of person/people in question (the game names they were using, doesn't need to be exact if funny characters, just so it's recognisable)
Offense reported for (if hacks, please state which hacks)
Server being played on (TF2 or CSS)
Date and time of the offence (server time - GMT/BST, approx times are alright)
Map being played at the time

Once we have received your report we will download the SourceTV replay and watch over it before casting our decision.

All admins should report any incidents aswell, so that we can cast a final decision on the offence (and hand out permanent bans if necessary).

Thank you

- Skillers and the administration

Another point could be to record the hacker yourself and send it to the admin.. Source TV works aswell but this then makes it easier to then report hackers to valve =]

True, yes, but if you tell us the time we can watch it before you started recording, aswell, and from different angles.

I don't think the angles are really necessary. Especially if its an obvious aimbot which you can usually tell cause alot of them have the person upside down moving at like noclip speeds and getting headshots by shooting and spinning around randomly.

Still if they record and report to valve its then down to an admin to ban from the server itself.

Well I think it's generally easier for everyone just to report the person and the time ^^

Also, some people use subtle hacks, like a simple aimbot that you can only confirm if you slow it down (though is noticeable because they get lots of HS very quickly).

If you wish to report to valve, do record your own demo.

lol reporting to valve thing im sure they sed while back that thy will nolonger take reports of hakers saying they vac system will catch them lol

VAC doesn't ever catch shit xP

Not once ever seen someone get banned from VAC and ive seen tons of hackers on alot of servers -_-

VAC is slow to ban, but it does catch eventually, and it stops people joining servers (don't think it kicks). I know of a few hackers that had to buy new accounts.

there is also a due to ther polocy that they new all the hacks in the worl phiosophy all new 1ns dnt gt picked up now lol

VAC is in my opinion a slow burner. People might be able to get away with hacking for months, and then it will suddenly smite a load of them.

Valve no longer accept demos/reports, as it's too easy to fake.

there is a steamban thing that can be added to a server, this involves hackers that have been proven to be hacking are banned from any server running it, effectively an immediate ban from any server for hacking.

i think the "slow burn" thing is probably so they can get total evidence because the hackers get more comfortable using hacks and then start speedhacking an crap like that.

Today.
Time: 1-2pm ish.
Hacker's name: McWill
Description: Random speed jolts.
Possibility: Speed hack/Lag hack.
(note this is a joke)

No need to hack just use DX7 for anti flash and anti smoke

Never actually tried this but aparently works and is completely legal if the server permits your entry with DX7.

mat_dxlevel of around 70 causes flashes to flash you for a reduced time (not completely but you won't get flashed as much) and it becomes easier to see through smoke (for those incapable of making observations already).

most servers block you connecting with such a low lever, but some allow it

Standing in the middle of smoke for me at the moment turns my whole screen grey o.O

Can see fine slightly out of the center. I might set my comp on DX7 at some point see what its like

Will be interesting to see..

LOL DX7...AAAA i cant stand how CSS looks when you use that , and most servers will block it especially if they have Zblock

zb ftw tbh

Yee Zb is good can be annoying if you do use DX7 though

well, that's just the problem people running css on a toaster will have to put up with.

Nah, toaster is DX8 capable, wristwatch is dx7.

Another 'official' thread destroyed by off-topic posts.

well tbh, any problems on the server only end up in flaming in another topic anyway, and any hackers are dealt with immediately (always an admin online).

TBH, people only need to read the first post, then PM me, the rest of the thread doesn't matter

or IRC him, or steam chat him

seeing as admin has full access to source tv and chat everyone should be wary of their behaviour!

...

except me, cos im awesome.



and that i never do anything wrong.
