yes it might sound dumb to someone with half a brain
this isn't my idea, it's just a factor that separates fg from the current most popular gunz server (considering they do exactly this)

the funny thing is most of flaming reports go like this
player 1 : fuc k you cu nt you piece of shit
player 2 : fucc your mother retard go suck a dicc
*player 1 waits his message to disappear*
5 mins later: player 1 has posted a thread OMG DUDE HE INSULTED ME FOR NO REASON FFS I HATE THIS KIND OF PEOPLE IWANNA QUIT in player reports
not gna bother reading older replies in this thread cause i dont really care if someone posted that already
Actually none of that is true lol
The reason gms don't 'spot' shit is because they're mainly working for player support and reports on spamming/ swapping etc.. The owner knows every single player that is hacking (there's a difference between detecting and patching a hack) .. theres no point giving gms power to ban when they can abuse it like on this server and they're half retarded when it comes to actually spotting a hack.
He patches hacks without banning players, I guess that's what Dave does in a sense when he chooses not to ban all you idiots using a detected hack...except fgunz is less consistent when it comes to patching hacks and pushing updates
If they did it once, there's a chance they will do it again. That's what the extended ban time is for. Just because hack A was patched, what's stopping them from using the revolutionary new hack B just days later?
The times may be a bit exaggerated, but it remains a fact that most users will just do it again. Unfortunately it's a case of a few people ruining it for the rest. But that's just how it is, and that fact will not change. There's only hope that by the time they can come back maybe they've learned their lesson, but again-- not always the case.
As for the whole flaming thing. I'm on the gray area here. As much as I don't support the idea of being manchildren and yelling such words at each other-- what is considered mutable should be toned down a bit. I mean once we hit racist and homophobic territory, that's understandable-- we're not fourchan or reddit, and I would presume everyone here would like to keep it this way, aye? But in any case, anything beyond derogatory shouldn't be punishable because for one, this server has a fully functioning ignore system and for the love of ****, none of you are special snowflakes.
The problem with hacks is that it will always be a cat and mouse game (so long there is someone who keeps making hacks). It's easy to say "just patch it", but in reality it's hard to actually permanently patch a hack.
Whoever has a bit of coding experience should know that this will always be a problem.
It's true there's a million ways to bypass a patch for hacks, but who said playing the cat and mouse game is a bad thing? There's no real profit or motivation for people to constantly update hacks. It just seems like devs are more focused on irrelevant things to make the server look 'pretty' . Looks like you need more creative people to work on preventing solvable problems(sad that people are still ucing through programs)
It's pretty hard to admit but even tho hexpresso is a ****** he was actually motivated in preventing hacks rather than relying on gms to ban players based on their opinionated judgement
(Banning players from a report just makes them bypass and continue using/sharing their hack... It doesn't contribute to the issue)
even announcing publicly on the forum that a hack is detected will stop people from using it and save you more players (if you get what I mean)
