US/CA Operation Cleansweep
Week 1 Results
Hello Tributes!Week 1 Results
It's now the end of our first Week of Operation Cleansweep in US/CA, it has been another productive and successful week and we're glad to share our first weeks set of results with you!
This has proven to be a successful option in eliminating hackers from the EU network and so far has been just as successful on US and CA; however, we are still looking into ways to make the operation even more successful. If you have any ideas for the Cleansweep, feel free to PM me, AlpakaWhacker, Jodimo, ChandelleMC, Col_StaR or Scott. In order to catch more hackers, we organize 2 hour cleansweeps during the peak times on the US and CA networks and sometimes an impromptu sweep which would last for an hour on average. The times will be listed below.
Times & Dates:
(All times are EST)
Monday: 7PM - 9PM
Wednesday: 7PM - 9PM
Friday: 8PM - 10PM
Saturday: 8PM - 10PM
Sunday: 6PM - 8PM
*If you have any suggestions on when we should hold the sweeps, feel free to contact any member of the US/CA Cleansweep Team, as listed above.
This Week's Statistics:
44 participants.
18 of those were community members.
26 of those were staff members.
10.5 hours of sweeps.
27 hackers were banned.
26 of those bans were permanent.
1 of those were 1 week.
An average of 5.4 bans were made each session.
4 hackers were found and recorded by members of the community.
*Bear in mind that there are 2 less sweeps per week at the moment than the EU Cleansweep (aka. 4 less hours of sweeps). Overall numbers of hackers have also been greatly reduced since we moved to supporting only 1.8.
What can you do?
In previous Cleansweeps, we have had many community members come onto TeamSpeak and assist us in making hacking bans and we really do appreciate this. In order to help, log onto the TeamSpeak (ts.mcgamer.net) during the scheduled times. Then, poke a staff member in the channel. Before beginning, you must be aware of this:
After you are aware of that, you can begin going server to server recording and reporting hackers to the staff in the channel. Please note that you will have to be able to record in order to participate. If you cannot record, you can still report hackers by poking staff about them.
Can't get on TeamSpeak? That's fine. You can still help out by recording and reporting hackers at http://report.mcgamer.info. These reports are a huge help to both the network and the staff team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Will the Cleansweep ever end?
Answer: The operation in the US and CA will initially last for a trial period of 2 weeks however if we feel it has been successful and it is necessary then we may extend it.
Question: Do I have to talk?
Answer: No, you don't have to talk, but you can if you'd like.
Question: Do I have to record?
Answer: Yes, we are only allowing those who can record to join; however, if you want to help out, you can still message us people you suspect are hacking.
Question: Is there an EU or AU Cleansweep?
Answer: We have already run 2 EU based Cleansweeps which have lasted a total of 15 Weeks. As for AU? Don't worry, the AU will not be neglected. Currently, the staff are testing other solutions for each region.
Question: Why do you post all the times when hackers can see it?
Answer: Most hackers will not check the forums, and won't even know that we are there. In addition to this, we do impromptu Cleansweeps as well.
Have a wonderful week!
