This sever has terrible staff, go ahead mute me for another 2 weeks for saying staff suck but don't ban hackers permanently, only perma-ban them for 1 week! this server is actually getting on my nerves and if you guys don't fix your staff im quiting!
GREAT JOB. BEST SERVER N/A
Shit Ass Server
"only perma-ban them for 1 week!" I know what point you were trying to get across, but seriously...
1. You said far more than just "staff suck" to get yourself muted.
2. You've had previous offenses for similar reasons.
3. Often if people come to Snapcraft just to hack, we catch them and ban them, and they don't come back. But sometimes they come back and don't hack again.
4. What if the ban had very controversial proof? and the ban was later decided to be a bad decision? If this had happened after a few weeks, would it be fair?
5. What about if proof was faked? Would perm banning them for fake proof be fair?
6. What if a good friend of yours came on and started hacking, and got perm banned? Would you have the same reaction?
There are lots of reasons why we don't perm ban hackers instantly.
I 100% agree with most of these, other than the proof one, considering players can get banned for 1 sketchy hit, while others can be blatantly hacking and have nothing done for months on end. It all depends on the staff who is spectating them and how much that staff hates the certain player. I know staff will try to say that hatred has nothing to do with bans regarding hacking and proof, but that's just bs.
I can list 5 people that have been hacking on snapcraft kitpvp for well over a month now and haven't gotten shit done to them, Its literally pissing the majority of the server off. Either allow helpers to have /v or get more mods. (Not even going to get into the info about the staff skills some of these people have).
I've already suggested for helpers to get /v, as they are way too obvious in gamemodes such as kitpvp or EarthGames. To get more staff, they need more players who qualify for staff positions. The "bar" is set very high to become staff, as to avoid having to demote staff due to events that could have been predicted (Although staff still slip up, atleast it's usually not that bad)
I hear what your saying crafter and can understand but there are servers out there with very very good staff that cant spot hackers with ease and go down to the bone finding if they have hacks or not by screen sharing them with join.me
I think snapcraft can do a BIT better in the punishment department
If other servers can do it, why not snapcraft
If i get the ole snapcraft saying: Staff have lives to! then listen here. Get more staff and even recruit good staff. I think its ridiculous that people have been hacking on kitpvp for well over a month without the hammer.
Also alot of staff are oblivious to the hackers i've shown them. Just because they don't have a damn force field doesn't mean their not hacking. There's things like auto clickers, triggerbots, aimlocks, all sorts of shit they can be easily classified as hacks yet staff don't even "see" it.
Screensharing/Better Anticheats:
1) For screensharing, the server would require some sort of communication, such as teamspeak (that is most common between other pvp servers). Teamspeak servers cost money, and we know that adding more cost to keep the server up isn't always something staff like to hear.
2) Good anticheats take a long time to make, and are very costly. The anticheats we have currently aren't good by any means, but atleast they block MOST speed hacks right?
3) How can we trust staff to screenshare properly while recording without them accidently screw up and record some of their personal information? On other servers, staff slip up's aren't as common, meanwhile on here, staff slip up's occure monthly or bymonthly, and thus it is much more difficult to trust staff with this kind of thing. Atleast I wouldn't trust staff too much and I'd be careful with anything I show, don't know about others.
