I think it's perfectly fine to ban someone for having a 50/5 KD while everyone else on the server is hanging around 12/5. Personally I start feeling super awkward if I'm pulling a huge killstreak, and usually just leave server. Unfortunately there's people petty enough to enjoy zero challenge and "just owning people". That's when it becomes a problem.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Lol. I get accused to hacking on the daily basis. The pub scene is indeed really boring right now until players become more experienced. I don't even bother commanding in pubs at the moment because when I do, I find myself at the edge of a mental breakdown. People just don't listen or know what you're talking about.
There are simply a lot of bad skulks right now, and camouflage is easily detectable if there is either an observatory nearby or you know what to look for.
I remember shortly before release we had some one accusing some guys of hacking. Turned out those guys were well known members of the competitive community.
Play with demo recording on, if you're that sure some one is cheating you at least have something to fall back on other than your word.
Removing people for having high k:d is a ridiculous idea. I've had people with high k:d in misc games stomping my newbie face in before, I'd never of wanted to see them banned or even kicked over it.

People will always say someone is cheating when they can't accept how much worse they are than the other person. I actually accused someone once, but it was my whole team in agreement on it and I never saw that guy again.
drflammable and I got permabanned from KKG servers for doing too well. Some people, like Master Blaster, get pretty mad. We even went on his team once.

Just kidding
The banned player stops playing the game because 90% of the community isnt that good, though not necessarily noobs either, and is banned from just about every other server the player goes to.
It could be considered BM to stomp a pub of rookies, but god damnit, I just commed a 55 minute game of all green names and lost. I am sure as hell going to go rambo and 50/2 the next round.

I'm sorry for using mouse 1, attacking an extremely large alien model 4x the size of a skulk from ns1, and using my hand eye coordination. These hacks will soon be turned off as there are so many objects blocking my fov for extraneous reasons beyond my comprehension. But looks apparently come before game play.

So here's the thing, I have fairly decent aim but nowhere near the level of some of the top players. But currently, even I can take on 3 or 4 Skulks at once, because quite frankly they are doing it wrong. I've played versus some of these top players and with tactics I can take them down, but most of the time it just end up with my dead Skulk on the floor somewhere :P
Also I know about certain hiding spots and can place skulk footstep sounds very accurately and will start shooting before I see them. So if I can do it on occasion, just imagine what the top players out there are capable of! I mean the Skulks is a fragile creature and I see loads of players simply walking on the floor in a straight line, which is like shooting fish in a barrel...
