Admin notice: Modding

[Korrd]

I've received a lot of PM's from players that have been banned for cheating (Namely, speed mod, weapons mods, loot mods, and the like), where they post screenshots of the mod manager as proof that they never had had those mods, and also sent me their ini files to try prove they never modded them.

Well, I have to say that sort of proof is not valid, for it can be easily manufactured by anyone who is knowledgeable enough to play the game and edit a text file.

Also, when I ban someone for speed, wepmodding, etc, believe me that I have more than rock solid proof of that.

For example. I get a player PM where he sends me a screenie of his FLMM window, showing only a single mod on it. I took the reference image from my FLMM, and used PAINT (yeah, the crappy paint, that comes with windows) to edit it. And no, its not vista. It's XP 64 with a vista skin :

"Hey plz, i never speedmodded. plz plz, release my chars for i wanna ply fl agein... se3 da pic man, i have n other mod installd. My char is calld 'kaspars1233'"


I then go to the server, see the logs, and find this on the humble anti-cheat tool log viewer:



Yeah, right... you never used speedmod, yet the logs are FULL of it...
Look again at the pattern. Its 100% sure to assume that he did use speedmod on the server, and for a long time indeed.


This one is an example of someone who used wepmod.

I think its very clear that he did wepmodded his ship, despite whatever his claims might be (although I never got a PM from him, one of the recurrent cheaters with a dsl line with dynamic IP).

So, resuming, if you cheat, you're screwed. Badly.

On the other side, there might be some instances where I ban doubtful log entries too. If that is your case, then PM me so I can investigate a bit more deeply about your chars. But remember that there is almost no evidence that you can provide that can get you out when there is a huge log file behind the ban proving that you did cheat.
