Lag, Banning And Cheating

[Seize]

wtf? Banning someone on the basis of lag-cheating is ridiculous, some ppl lag that badly without cheating and they arent banned. In my opinion if you want to ban ppl for lag-cheating BAN 2DRAGONS!!!!

if they want to stop this the solution is simple: tighten the restrictions on permissible LAG in TW.


its stupid to say to someone: your normal ping is 100, when you open KaZaa it goes up to 250, THAT IS CHEATING your normal ping is the one you should stick to. WHAT THE HELL?? does this sound ridiculous to any1 else?


While someone who normally has a ping of 250 can play without any problems.

THAT IS BY FAR THE GAYEST THING I'vE EVER HEARD.

if you want to ban people who lag cheat, ban every1 that lags because in my opinion people who have a bad lag naturally have the same advantage as someone who "lag cheats"

the banning of eRad for using KaZaa is in my opinion RIDICULOUS


TIGHTEN THE LAG RESTRICTIONS AND STOP ABUSING OF YOUR BAN POWERS FFS

i once was downloading a few demo's and i could play elim.
so i thought why not.
im flying...here..to there...dont see any blue dots on the radar....
so i was d/c a few minutez, i reconnect....I WAS BANNED...That truly sucked. i sended dantax a messaged he said no u lag cheated, u hacked in the system.
I dont even know how to hack, dud...

i got banned for 1 fucking week

[Seize]

it is ridiculous these days where the abuse of power by TW staff is out of control, banning people for running programs or downloading while playing? I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!1

WOW am I ever pissed at eRad being banned for that!

am I the only one that feels that this has gone too far.

Using KaZaA to boost your ping is just as bad as using lagtronic, so I'm not quite sure on how I stand on banning people for it. I do agree with strengthening lag restrictions, as that would minimize their ability to play while using KaZaA.

The issue is the intentional increase of lag to create an advantage. Your arguments hold no moral standing.

Holy shit, people just aren't creative with excuses anymore.



"YAH I OPENED PROGRAM AND CREATED LAG WITH IT 'CUZ I WANTED TO GET 7-10 IN ELIM, BUT THAT PROGRAM WAS MADE FOR EXCHANGING MIDGET PORN NOT CHEATING. JUST CUZ I CHEATED WITH IT DOESNT MEAN IM BAD BECAUSE I ONLY LIKE MIDGETS AND MIDGET PORN AND I DOWNLOAD MIDGET PORN AND PLAY ELIMINATION GOOD."

What happened to the "No, no I didn't cheat! My brother was on my name, I swear!"

?buy broadband

[Th@ KiLL@]

i have dsl broadband 64/kb per sec so stfu

uhhhh... my point is that some ppl have the same lag as someone using KaZaa and dont get in trouble. Therefore using KaZaa DOES NOT FUCKING GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER USERS. AND THEREFORE DOES NOT QUALIFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEATING!!!!

ffs ure all new

[Troll King]

It does qualify as cheating because it affects one's connection in a favourable manner. It gives someone an advantage over people who had the same original lag before using Kazaa, so it DOES give advantage over other users.

The issue is the intentional artificial creation of lag to enahnce one's chances. It's exactly same thing as doing what you wrote about in the Supposedly Cheating thread. That method can give you more lag, but you can also argue that someone out there is playing with the same lag you had created. That argument would be as pointless there as it is here.

I don't see why nearly everyone has broadband its only say £10 more expensive that Freeserve Anytime, you can stay connected all day, and have a low ping.

This is actually funny.

If someone is downloading something and gets 250ms ping...
While someone plays normally with 250ms ping...

the downloader gets banned? ok now i wish i would run staff. I would personally ban ppl for life who ban for that reason. There's a solution here... *cough*laglimit*cough*

Geez i only get ping 40ms when i download
