Best Posts in Thread: Make hacked clients a perm ban again

The number of people I end up reporting for hacking in kitpvp is farcical. Not only that, but by having the ban set at 7 days you run the risk of this happening:

http://meepcraft.com/threads/afried1-kitpvp-hacks.38900/ <--- Report from xT3Kx, made on the 19th of January.

Clearly hacking in both instances, clearly didn't care enough about his 7-day temp ban enough to remove his client, will clearly do it again. 7 days is a joke, and people who hack know this - as clearly demonstrated by our friend afried1 here, someone who has donated to this server.

Make it an appealable perm ban again, I don't care about the rationale that "it decreases the potential total number of donations able to be brought in". These people clearly don't care enough about the server to obey the rules in the first place, they shouldn't have the privilege of being able to log on.

/rant.

EDIT: Also, don't do this

Stop putting things 'under consideration' - we know that's where suggestion threads go to die.

 

+1.

In addition, make second perms actual perms, not wait-a-month-and-say-sorry perms.

 

It isn't just one.
It's a lot.
Look at report a player.
Staff, count how many 2nd offense reported bans there are.
They sometimes don't come back.
When they do come back, they hack again.
Nobody who disagrees with the situation wants to mention that.
There are a shot load of 2nd offense hackers now, and people are coming back, hacking, and ruining other players experiences.
I have a friend who hacked here, and got banned for 7 days. I can guarantee you he's gonna come back and hack again, ruining the experiences of others.
If a noob sees a hacker in kit and keeps getting killed, they will just quit and never come back.
Making 1st offense perm, less noobs will quit, less reports will be made, less fines will be made, and more players will be happy.
Hacking is as serious as advertising, if not more.
When people hack, it ruins the game for others.
We want those people off the server ASAP forever.
So,
Make hacking of any kind, especially kitpvp, a permanent appealable ban, first offense.
