So, I had an interesting conversation with a VF4 admin in Discord regarding my report about a cheater - which prompted me to create this thread.
I'm running a server and it happened that I had an opportunity to spectate a particular player with my own eyes on my own server while they were using obvious, cleanest aimbot - which led to immediate reaction from my side in the form of a permanent ban.
I shared the STEAMID in the Discord server which was noticed by a particular VF4 admin who thanked me and stated about adding the player to some sort of list of suspicious-looking persons or whatever it is called. And that's all cool... But, let's speak seriously... You ain't just gonna wait for them to cheat on your server, are you?
One can use fingers from a single hand to count the amount of alive servers. If not to work with current servers, there won't be anyone else to work with, and that's a scary thought. So, the idea is: I think it would be productive to copperate in the blacklist tracking on the trust basis.
So far I have only single one banned ID (which also initiated all of this) - the list of previously banned players was lost together with my previous server becoming shut down, that's a shame. Biggest achievement, though, would be readiness to share new ones in the future. Reasons for ban may differ, but, personally, I think cutting roads for cheaters would be a good place to cooperate. I suppose, so far, VF4 has a fairly long list of those?
To end, let's talk about what we've started with - Discord conversation. I shared some pessimistic thoughts there about how sad it is that an admin from one server doesn't trust the other admin even though there are not that many left etc etc etc. But now let me rather make a compliment about how disciplined, liberal and humane VF4 admins may be, ending every single one of their message with how they can't ban someone without obtaining a proof more solid than a word. Yes, let's better view it from this bright side.
