theSGL Cheat Banning Rules Revised!
I believe it is time to breach the subject of SGL cheat bans before the start of season 11. We will be slightly revising how bans are carried out and the amount of time they stand for. So here we go:
Cheating bans:
Anyone found using public cheats on SGLAC will be banned for six months up to pemianently . This will be at the admins discretion and will be none negotiable.
Anyone found to be using private cheats on SGLAC will be banned permanently. This will be none negotiable.
(A private cheat is defined as either: A cheat which is paid for or made to try and bypass anticheats)
Anyone found to be tampering with SGLAC will be permanently banned as you will be in breach of our EULA. This will be none negotiable
SGL Evasion bans
SGL evasion ban is a temp ban before a decision is made to whether the ban will become permanent or removed.
Players who are SGL evasion banned will be required to personally speak to a head admin to discuss the reasons for there ban.
Previously banned players:
Under the new rules previously banned players who were banned for cheating have the right to appeal there ban. However it will be at the admins discretion whether or not they will be unbanned. The admins decision will be final on this matter. The players which are allowed back onto theSGL will be on there final warning and if they are banned for any infringement they will stay banned. Don't make a new account to contact me you need to pm me over IRC and i will look into it if i have time
Any players found to be creating new accounts to play in theSGL will see there original bans increased.
I realize the subject of cheat banning is something which is always a big discussion for the community everyone has there own opinion on it. We understand this but please note that a lot of things are discussed and all the evidence is in the admins hands so if you could refrain from making any comments on any bans it would be a appreciated. Obviously if you’re desperate to find out why someone has been unbanned or why someone has been banned then you are more than welcome to pm me (Blizzard) on the website and ill get back to you as soon as possible.

#8, heard a few people having issues with it freezing for like a nano-second when it takes a screeny; ive only ever seen it once but.. yea. Admins have admitted its a problem there aware of so will be fixed shortly.
just because it works for some of you freaks doesn't mean it works for EVERYONE. fucking ignorant.

i feel this infringes my freedom

only neil_m deserves to be unbanned
doesnt deserve to be unbanned at all ... but he shud be as every1 else has been
neil m is still cheating every now and again so why unban?
if sglac was fine people wouldnt be getting past it would they m8s.
I never really understood why cheaters were given lenience and accommodation but hey.
i heard a rumour that neil m has a big nose

bm.... getting past it in what way dude? you seem to know alot but seem very reluctant in telling us surely you should help us if people are getting past it and your so against cheaters?

Blizzard | Posted on 20/10/09 9:09am
Also just out of curiosity why havent you uploaded your screenshots from the 14th September?
#27 |
Blizzard | Posted on 20/10/09 9:15am
Just to add to this any banned player making a new account just to ask me to be unbanned will just get banned again and will have blown any chance of them being unbanned. I look into unbanning people when i have time but at the moment i have more important things to do. You have to contact me on IRC if you want to be unbanned.
good policy

isnt the bypass for sglac just a hilarious easy joke? At least what ive read....
#30 |
Blizzard | Posted on 20/10/09 10:24am
Well would you like to point out where you read it so we can do something about it..... this what i don't get u go onto us about anticheat yet you don't tell us???
#31 |
Blizzard | Posted on 20/10/09 10:29am
Ah your a call of duty player that might explain it lol i know what you have read

Seeming hardly any cod players use SGLAC now since i banned about 30 of them should tell you something
cant say i agree with this

but if it knocks some activity back in to it then i guess it's worth a go
Blizzard could you add to the main post about people making new accounts to send an email about their ban being revoked was some confusion

aYaanLe | Posted on 20/10/09 2:34pm
I pretty much agree with this and I would say it's as fair as it gets. Always thought people who deserve a second chance should get it. Hopefully the admins judgement wont let us down :P
sglac gives me loss im pretty sure
Blizzard: When will people know if they have been unbanned or not and roughly how long is the process going to take?

my opinion is that if someones caught cheating. They should be banned full stop. No debate to weither they can do it and 6 months down the line the account is acceptable to play again in the league.
Thats fine Ice but you will be playing CS soon with 8 teams in a league people need a second chance mate, im sure something you have done you have had a second chance so stop being so naive.

oh bm, your such a dickhead arent you since you have been on here all you have done is slate theSGL and give it, i know uzi is fed up of you and im definatly fed up of you. Its like your asking to be banned. I get the impression your a misurable cunt who thinks they know it all and won't go out there way to help anyone. You slate SGLAC yet you won't help us make it better, you slate us as admins and our decisions but you wont do anything constructive. Its constantly moan moan moan and your doing this wrong well if you think you know it all you go do it better somewere else.
I don't know if you say these things to get a reaction out of us but here you go you have got mine.
I believe you got banned for saying something on a match comment once and we told you to apologise to the public yet you was to scared to. You said you didnt have to because it didnt involve any of the community yet on the match comments (which are open to the public to see) you was willing to abuse another team. We let that go we just thought you didnt have the balls to admit you was wrong and say sorry. We have given you aload of slack in the past. Well this ends now i wrote a thread earlier this week i dont have time for idiots
http://www.thesgl.com/forums/topic/378640/ i was straight with people there. Well im being straight with you now you are not welcome here anymore. Goodbye
cy@ bm dickhead LQL
-Not make you lag ingame
-not allow your game to be opened if you have sprites, dodgy models etc in it (warning message) bit like the esea on
all that needs sorting imo, would like to see a few ladders too bit like esl so ppl can play games on ac and they count for points/ranks etc

Ho0 | Posted on 21/10/09 3:38pm
tbh if you ban bm like that you should ban about 1500 others who don't use constructive critism, seems like blizz made this a little bit to personal for roll model function.
#52 |
Blizzard | Posted on 21/10/09 3:41pm
Nothing personal at all, ive ignored him for past 2 years when he has made remarks but he seems to want a reaction so ive given him one. He is just a idiot in my opinion and i clearly state in that forum post i don't have time for idiots that combined with his remarks from the past 2 years equals a ban.
#53 |
aYaanLe | Posted on 21/10/09 3:53pm
In all fairness, while wearing objective glasses and considering this is the 3rd(?) time bm is banned, it's hard to argue against this ban and I feel people who don't have anything constructive to say should face the same fate.
We need a better scene with more mature gamers!
Perhaps more emphasis should be put onto CL's to make sure none of their own members cheat, anyone in our clan found to be cheating would be banned and slated for life and then invited ato a lan and "taken care off", maybe this could catch on.
calm down styles LAD, you do realise its only a game with a bit of banter, didnt think any1 takes comments seriously & turn emo

aYaanLe | Posted on 21/10/09 7:15pm
I'll ask you bluntly, as you do seem to be able to read from what I see, but for god knows what reasons decide to conclude the dumbest out of my comment and then proceed to comment on it.
So, are you dumb Bennoman?
#57 |
VANGUARD | Posted on 21/10/09 9:17pm
I'd like to see more mature gamers (as per #53) - I have absolutely know idea why everyone feels the need to 'give it'
#58 |
shY' | Posted on 22/10/09 2:09pm
no second chance! You shouldnt cheat playing on a leadue. If u did thats your problem.

ROFL OWNED.
styles has put his #53 comment eloquently - unfortunately, mature gamers in cs 1.6 are about as rare as the Iberian Lynx. Everyones elitist in this market, and therefore seem to think they are above everyone else.

#54 Raging8ull Said... Perhaps more emphasis should be put onto CL's to make sure none of their own members cheat...
I totally agree with this comment, Like if a CL is aware an ex-cheater, Or suspicious member is cheating and he is caught and its blates, Punish the team, Deduct points.... 2 Many selfish players who willl cheat have total disregard for there teams efforts, if teams/clan leaders, paid more attention the hacker/hacking member would not have been recruited in the first place.
I believe also if a player is banned, They should serve a sentance, Like if he is banned for 5/6 Months or w/e Give the guy a chance to prove hes cleaned up.

Very reasonable and sensible rules to be honest
why just dont ban them for life, cheaters will always cheaters.
