suggestion about spec and green admin chat

RadSavage wrote:everyone should be able to spec to gain hackers or just idle the server that makes sense.

Cons: -Easy to detect for the hacker when they join spec (suspecting that they're recording a demo) therefore action #1 is to leave the server, change name and come back clean.
-Some people can leave an account hanging on spec and screen watch other people if you're in a normal pub server. same thing can happen in cod mod even tho its useless for me, its just me.

hackers dont generally care if someone is in spec or not...like seriously...weither they toggle or not you will beable ot tell with their game play..

the whole reason /spec is in place is because back in the day..if you recall...ppl would continously go spec and rejoin a team trying to stack teams which caused a huge unfair advantage to newer players thus causing them to leave..

in simpler terms.. /spec disallows stacking of teams but still allows admins to catch hackers.

now granted /spec disallows the community them selves to help out with hackers (which i did when i first joined the servers) so because regulars cannot get ahold of admins because they're either busy / away / sleeping / w/e hackers remain rampant on the server unless caught promptly.


Here is my propsal if we do infact invert back. if you /spec merely to stack teams and i personally find out 1 day ban that simple if oyu continue ban length doubles each time


/spec is there to grant the allowance to spec players to see if ppl indeed are hacking or not people other wise use it to stack teams and causeing ppl to leave due to unfair advantages.

A lot of hackers also assume that you are admin if you're wearing the tag of whatever clan is hosting the server, so just being in there as a PCSHOP member you are keeping hacks from being used in the server.

I got to disagree with this though. I get called into bb all day long for people wrecking base, making illegal bases and the rare hacker that comes into BB. When i come in and they see me they stop before i can even see it most the time. If i try to come in ninja style someone on my friends calls me out as soon i get there or they /admin and they stop. Which means i can not get a proper demo or even catch them doing it cause they know i will slap them with the ban hammer. I think green chat and /admin should be removed so admins can catch these fuckers ninja style.
