I felt proud when I got banned for "hacking" makes you realize that you good enoguh to own them all. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Try playing against smallpichu. He's usually around the UK servers. He is scarily good as alien or marine. Much better than me and I've been banned from one server since I started four weeks ago and accused more than once of cheating. Wouldn't accuse him of hacking though. He's just very, very good. Knows the maps. Knows the spots. Knows the tactics. Can aim.
I sure would like a cross-atlantic match vs sYn and Blind Fury (an uk clan). We played them last night and they toyed with us so good. Lost as aliens: 91 to 8. They had a pity on us and didnt rush our Computer Core hive. They just build 14 sieges outside and shot the hive down in 2 blast volleys. Their aim is ungodly. I think I managed to kill 1 of them. I was proud. I'd love to watch this match on hltv.
and yeah the only time i'll ever "ban" someone from my server is becuz i dont like the for a) they have one of those annoying speech binds that plays some crappy quality blurp from full metal jacket more than 5 times in a row
b) there own clan membbers hate them and ask me too (case in point xoverzero|aublaxer)
c) they have sYn, eve, eR, pandas xoverzero, or have a HAM name (this is a funny funny cuz i take it in poop shoot)
seriously tho, i have seen a lot of immature admins, fail to beleive that someone can actually get 4 knife kills in a row without taking damage by the 3 semi decent clanning skulks and one other pub regualr...
all in all i think its a game and as such nothing really needs to be taken seriously

Yarrr, this also happens to me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
Although it aint that bad in the UK, as I play on a few svrs that wither know me, or the admins are sensible, as they are not individual servers, but ones from people like Games2xs, etc(UK)
I have played against some VERY good players(G-, J-, Animosity) and they dont get banned from these servers either(they are all from BF and are very good players).
I think going on individual servers is more dodgy, as people own the servers and can do whatever to you.
One problem is that company type servers are usually n00b filled <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
The times I get banned are always as alien, as marines walk around in groups, and block each others fire and such, so the first time I got banned was when I took out 6 marines all massed at a PG and turret hole(not quite farm) near our main hive as a cara'ed skulk. I came away with close to full hp, as they were crap shots, and 10s later, I was just banned <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
But I learned from that and started to stay away from servers like that and often play on clan servers that know me, also I play under my clan name more, as people know us and are less likely to ban me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I have only knowingly seen one hack, the aimbot. Unfortunately, it has become more common. I will usually give someone the benefit of the doubt until I see them to a 180 or so to aquire 2-3 different targets and never miss a shot (well..some misses due to cone, but los is always on center). I demostrated this to an admin last weekend. As an alien, I suspected a marine was using an aimbot. The admin (rightfully so) wanted proof before bannig, so I had him sit in a shadowed area (completely unseen unless you have gamma all the was up.. I think map was bast) and had another skulk sit on the other side of the wall. I taunted him down into our "ambush" where I jumped out, was immediately dead (ok.. I was down to half trying to get him there), the other skulk rushed at the same time and died right after me, even though he was at roughly 120 deg difference from the point I died. The admin died in the next burst even though he had never moved and was in the shadow (I highly doubt he could see him let alone have a chance to aquire him as a target while we attacked). The bot was so obvious he was banned right there.
As for trigger itchy admins, I was playing with a European group SIN (safetly in Numbers) and had the tage in my name.. I joined a server and was kicked as I joined the marines. I popped back in to ask what that was about and was banned for 30 minutes.. after 30 minutes I removed the clan tag and joined and no one bothered me.. how is that for jumping to conclusions?
