Merry Christmas/Christmas Eve Tributes! About 4 weeks ago, we decided to take a break for exams and other holiday events coming up. As we have had a growing number of reports about hackers in EU and the team appears to be rejuvenated, we are proud to announce that the EU Cleansweep is going to resume on December 28th, 2014. For those of you who don't know, a Cleansweep is a time where both staff and community members get together in a channel on TeamSpeak and go server to server looking for hackers.
In previous operations, this has proven to be a successful option in eliminating hackers from the EU network; however, we are still looking into ways to make the operation even more successful. If you have any ideas for the Cleansweep, please PM me, AlpakaWhacker, Col_StaR, and/or Nephilim. In order to catch more hackers, we organize 2 hour cleansweeps during the peak times in the EU network. The times will be listed below.
Times & Dates:
Sunday: 3PM-5PM & 8PM-10PM
Monday: 7PM-9PM
Wednesday: 8PM-10PM
Friday: 6PM-8PM
Saturday: 3PM-8PM & 8PM-10PM (7PM-9PM on meeting days)
If you have any suggestions on time, please comment down below, or DM me, AlpakaWhacker, Col_StaR, and/or Nephilim.
What can you do?
In previous Cleansweeps, we have had many community members come onto TeamSpeak and assist us in making hacking bans. We 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 will continue as long as it is needed. If there is ever a point when the amount of
hackers on EU is low, it may end, but it will start as soon as the hacker problem is present again.
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 a US or AU Cleansweep?
Answer: Don't worry, the other regions 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, we do impromptu Cleansweeps as well.
Have a wonderful rest of your week, and a Merry Christmas! We hope to see as many people there as possible!
