Chewd Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Please start using votekick on all the official servers! The amount of cheaters has become ridiculous and most of the "admins" seem to be non existent. Sorry to rant but it seems almost impossible to find a server now without any cheaters Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 What server were you on? when? Who was cheating? What were they doing? Did you try to report them in #mta in mIRC? If they do turn the votekick on I hope they also include !stats Link to comment
Ransom Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I don't think thats a good idea with all the people yelling false claims of "cheater" all the time and others blindly follow. That will only result in tons of kicks towards innocent people as I think about 80% of cheat claims are false. Besides if that went in effect someone might be lame enough to login with 5 or 6 different names to win all the vote kicks. Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Both can and have happened and the reason it's not run on the PartyServer is because it is abused The same person keeps votekicking again and again but I have seen it work when you have a good group of regulars and only a few cheats. Make sure you make your case and get support for the kick ahead of time and get them to vote and it will work fine It's up to MrBump to weight the benefits against the problems and decide. I assume he has already done this and you can guess the result. I hope that !stats has a chance thou Link to comment
Ransom Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 At least something to limit the # of vote kicks a person can do at a given time. Then it could pm them to till them they must wait if they try to start another one. Link to comment

Then it could pm them to till them they must wait if they try to start another one. It only lets you vote once and it only allows one vote at a time already. It gives you a message like the teams one when you try to join both teams. you can change the percent of the players that are needed as well. The problem is that some ppl keep starting new votekicks again and again after the other one ends. We did just vote him off but nothing stops them from coming back, when no admin is around Link to comment
=DA=Blunted Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 as one of the people that doesn't use trainers or mod's currently i'm playing and there's this gzee playing with health hacks on, hopefully you'll be able to detect and ban trainer users Link to comment
Si|ent Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I wont be running votekick on the official servers for the reasons already mentioned above. Pople accused of cheating rarely are, meaning many will get kicked for nothing. Balancing the amount, (percentage), of players needing to vote !yes is difficult when many can be afk/not speak english/just not bothered to vote, and a kick wont deter a REAL cheater, (rarer than you think as most long term players, who know how to identify the genuine cheats, will tell you), as he/she can simply reconnect. There is almost always an admin available in #mta, so go there and cheats will be looked into. Only exception are the few unearthly hours each day when the admins are sleeping, but as the servers are hardly populated at these times of night for the same reason that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

[KFC]KungFu Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 !stats? This will be abused too I am sure but it is a neat tool to have available. I agree with the no !votekick as I said above it's is more annoying than helpful and it was removed from PartyServer Link to comment
dystopia Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 some servers run !stats to send a pm type deal instead of showing everyone...thats the best way, let them spam their own windows if thye really wanna lol Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 How is that possible? The admin cannot pm Link to comment
dystopia Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 ::shrug:: my irc scripting skills are next to squat...i'll try and find the server, but people would say !stats and that all I saw, i typed it and it told me my stats, so i can only assume they somehow made it private, it was still in yellow text however Link to comment
-UtopiA- Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Please start using votekick on all the official servers! The amount of cheaters has become ridiculous and most of the "admins" seem to be non existent. Sorry to rant but it seems almost impossible to find a server now without any cheaters I don't think there's an overpopulation of cheaters out there. I'd say 1 out of 20. Maybe you just have the problem every other new player has. "CHEATER! CHEATER!" 5 minutes later "CHEATER!" But that's profiling; and that's bad. Anyway, if there's a cheater just go on IRC and tell somebody... Link to comment

I was thinkin the EXACT same thing Ransom. just because some laggy n00b cant kill you he goes to his MTA and types !votekick 1 or w/e then the others follow because they think they're helping. I noticed that NEVER do skilled players vote unless they know its a cheater fo sho there is this one n00b, named "neo" or something he logged into the server using up like 7 slots once.. neo1, neo2....neo6, neo7 i mean, this kid is obviously retarded. not only that, hes one of the biggest cheaters around HAHA and he votekicks people who kill him. for example "{FBI}Mac-10" and the n00bs followed... but luckily the votekick was cancelled, like 10 times in a row.
