Kent Traffic Cop Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Grand Theft Auto Police http://www.gtapolice.co.uk This is the new anti-cheat and anti-mod agency for MTA. The site also focuses on making police mods for singe player GTA. I'm looking for some staff at the mo. So get in touch if you wanna help out Link to comment
orappa Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 This is what it says on the site: GTAP aims to:Prevent and detect MTA cheating Prevent and detect MTA modding Create a blacklist of MTA cheats/modders Create a police garage of modifications for single player GTA How do you plan to achieve points 1 & 2? Point 3's a good idea though - a centralised ban list that server admins can download. Link to comment
Kent Traffic Cop Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm getting people to become GTAP Officers. They'll go around servers [undercover] and look out for modders and cheaters. People can also submit videos and pictures of cheats/mods. Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 you know...there's allready a blacklist in mtama, then why would you create another one? Link to comment
Kent Traffic Cop Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah- there's a blacklist, but no force that actually goes out there and FINDS cheaters/modders Link to comment
Slothman Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 there are actually, they are called admins. for this group of yours to work you would need to have admin access to servers to grab ip addresses and enforce banns. do you think you will be given admin access to servers just because you want to be self-appointed cops? i wish you luck with your group.

eAi Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Sounds like a plan, but hard to enforce as you'd need admin to find the cheater's IP, which would involve contacting the server admin and getting it from them which isn't always going to be a straightforward buisness... You could run it as "contract adminining" though, but that would mean that the server owner would have to be able to trust your group as a whole, which seems unlikely (even if you're all wonderfully trustworthy people). eAi Link to comment
Slothman Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 yeah, trusting someone enough to admin a server is hard enough, but a whole group is much harder. and if for some reason a bunch of servers decided to give you admin access, then the new members you recruit would likely be the wrong types who just crave power over others.

Oli Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 interesting... i like the idea, but its not very pratical when it comes down to it im afraid.. ppl just wont give out admin to unknowns. The MTA:mA blacklist serves its putpose in that way.. but the main problem with it is that MOST cheaters and modders have the ability to very easily change their ip. Link to comment
Kent Traffic Cop Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 You know what- I F*CKIN GIVE UP MTA has caused me nothin but grief. Flames, fights, moaning, n00b talk, utter sh*te and more. Screw MTA- I'm off to play America's Army Link to comment

MAD_BOY Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 oh no now i really get nightmares now tell me, where are the flames, n00b stuff and your "utter stuff?" (could be me, but isn't "utter" a n00b word) Link to comment
orappa Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 MTA has caused me nothin but grief. Flames, fights, moaning, n00b talk, utter sh*te and more. Surely the whole purpose of deathmatch is to fight? Link to comment
Pic0o Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 MTA has caused me nothin but grief. Flames, fights, moaning, n00b talk, utter sh*te and more. Surely the whole purpose of deathmatch is to fight? No Doubt. Seriously Tho, on a Cheater Note, If they are Keen to change thier Ip via Simple Means (DHCP on thier ISP Type), I used to ban Subnets if the cheating got too heavy, and yes, some people would be banned for no Reason, but if they posted on the Board, and I didn't see a Direct Reason for them to Be banned, I'd Edit the Wildcard Ban Accordingly. As for more Involved IP Changing or Spoofing, that's on the as-needed, and I find, most cheaters aren't that annoyingly bound to modding in the same server (as they should have better things to do w/ spoofing, besides be a cheater). Anywho, Good Luck w/ the Police Thing. As for Giving my Admin access to a Group to Distruibute for 'Cheat-Cleaning", I'd rather give some people I Met Admin Access, that way you know who has access, and who will do the Job when needed. A Group of people w/ Admin Access sounds like an Admin Clan, and in Any clan, you get Lamers occasionally, who can Ruin shit for all the Others in the Clan. A Clan of Police-Admins Sounds way too potencial for Abuse, IMO. Happy Holidays Link to comment

Slothman Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 the problem with his idea was that he isn't trustworthy himself judging by his post history being nothing but lies and tantrums. It's nice to beleive that a leapord can change it's spots, but theres doubt that someone would go from modder to anti-mod crusader and expect full cooperation. Link to comment
[KFC]Venom Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 You should call it 'FBI' not police. FBI sounds more powerful. Link to comment
Kent Traffic Cop Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 You should call it 'FBI' not police.FBI sounds more powerful. Yeah- but it's .co.uk and FBI is American I'm recruiting at the moment- so if anyone's interested have a look at the site Link to comment

Gareth Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 You should call it 'FBI' not police.FBI sounds more powerful. Yeah- but it's .co.uk and FBI is American I'm recruiting at the moment- so if anyone's interested have a look at the site FBI is an internationally renowned association, not just for USA (it deals with USA and international security cases using information from the CIA. and I agree that FBI does sound more powerful. And why do u emphasise the co.uk does this mean that you are emphasising the britishness of this association. You should call it a general name if you want ppl outside UK to join! Link to comment

b0b0 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 It is impossible to prevent cheating unless an effective method of banning is developed. Link to comment
JacoB Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 It is impossible to prevent cheating unless an effective method of banning is developed. Even if an "effective method" of banning was developed, that still would not completely prevent cheating. To find the real solution of preventing cheaters is to step into their own shoes; why do they cheat? Fun. Make the game funner. Wich is why I think blue will drastically reduce the amount of cheaters. Of course, I'm talking about the ones that speedhack/map mod/fly around. As for the f*ckers that use inf health, I hope a very effective method of banning is developed. Link to comment
