I would like to see a little more aggressive banning on suspicious players. I don't care whether they're a cheater or not; suspicious players affect the overall atmosphere of the server. Aggressive yet fair policing of the server will send a message that we as a group do not fuck around. If suspicious players and cheaters find our server to be “soft” they’re going to start showing up in droves. The only way to keep assholes out of our sever is to set precedent and treat everyone the same way. Here is what I’m proposing as a server policy.
I would like to see policing of server to be strict and firm and leave re-entry to the server solely upon the individual who was banned. For instance, if a regular or XI member reports a player, after sufficient research of stats and former game play, that player should be immediately banned temporarily. Even if their stats are borderline a temporary ban should be issued. Associated with the temporary ban would be the following verbiage, “We are truly sorry. We have suspicions about your game play, this is not a conviction, we would just like to know more about you. Please feel free to join us on Team Speak or our website to discuss this matter . If you make the effort to contact us, your temporary ban will more than likely be immediately lifted.”
If the person doesn’t want to take the initiative, fuck em their loss. If they do take the initiative, we’ll know more about the individual, in return helping admins with their decision of what kind of player they want on the server. If they’re a dick, sorry see you later. If they’re cool and have a valid plea, let them back in. Even if the person was legitimately cheating but we couldn’t prove it, if they’re respectful, give them a second chance. This might start to sway people who use cheats to shut them off while in our server. Don't think of it as a ban, more like a "hey we'd like to get to know you."
Leave it up to the individual who is banned to stand up for themselves. If a person really wants to play on the server, they should be willing to show their loyalty to us as a team and fair game play. Set precedent, keep a structure, and treat all infractions and suspicions game play the same way. Get to know the people who seem suspicious, I guarantee, if they aree really cheating they'll leave and will not contact for re-entry.
