New Hacker Punishment Policy? Will that really work?

[criticadordegame]

Well, we all saw the latest announcement made by Chad. I'm really excited for this to happen because this might reduce the amount of hackers. What do you guys think?

Now hackers will be perm banned instead of 7 days. People using "modded clients" will have a smaller punishment so will people who admitt to hack!

Do you guys agree with this change?

Yes. But then again, I might be biased.

Also, did this really need its own separate thread? You could have simply asked this in the announcement thread....

^ What he said. Still a great decision, and will definitely change some things.

I personally think it will. Think about it.

100 hackers get banned for a week. ~90% come back and hack again after the ban expires.
190 hackers over 2 weeks without the policy (roughly).
Once the policy is put into place, those 90 players don't come back, and we have a reduction in hackers.

The new policy will definitely work

1. Whenever someone is banned, they are not allowed back on our network
2. When the new punishment is set-forth, is will allow people do think twice about hacking
3. Now that the ban is Permanent it will make some people realize it is way more beneficial for them to play the game legit and that following the rules makes the game more enjoyable for everyone else and for themselves as well

Just a few points that should help you guys

Does that mean leafy will not be back after his around 2 years?

Whenever someone is banned, they are not allowed back on our network

If anybody goes through the trouble of breaking the rules to the point where a permanent ban is given, I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem repeating the process. It's not like they have anything to lose.

You do have to keep in mind that not everyone has an alt. account. Even if somebody does, they will be caught again and the process can repeat. They still will be caught and brought to justice. Eventually, there will be no other way for them to come back on the network.

I really don't see who disagreed with this change. Most players hated it, and the mods had to constantly defend opinions that weren't formed by themselves.
It's kind of ironic that all the mods had to do this, and now they basically all admit that is wasn't a very good idea in the first place. I don't blame them, but I wish they would have voiced it out a little more.

 

[Spectral_Slayer]

I was admitting that it was a great idea

No, he will be back. I recall Chad writing previous hacker bans are not effected by this new rule.
