Cheating: Banned for life #3: kabeN & PaintKZ
Hello community,
After the long wait and the encountered technical problems, we thought to come in hot, this time with two names in one bust.
We know you have been waiting so badly a new edition of what has become a really popular series.
Before we start, we just want to point out that the process of catching cheaters is not an easy one. After tons of work and countless hours spent on analyzing demos, movements, patterns and so on, comes the most important question: are we right? Because no matter what we find, if we can't answer that question positively, then we don't proceed further. This is how the universal rule of conviction works as well: instead of convicting an innocent guy, we better leave 10 guilty guys walk. So before making any move, we need to be absolutely sure. Of course, like we always said, mistakes can also happen and those which will come to happen, the guilt will be on us. It's nothing personal and all this work is done for something bigger than us, for a clean environment where we can all have a good time playing this game we all love.
The two jumpers are, just as the title says, kabeN and PaintKZ.
What do they both have in common? They were both busted as a result of using slowmo in their demos.
We are very happy of the progress we made in this field, the slowmo area. For years we have been struggling for a break-through in what is probably the hardest cheat to catch.
We are also almost sure there are others still using slowmo who haven't been caught yet, but some variants of it can be harder to detect. However, our efforts won't stop here.
kabeN's LJ demos will be deleted and he will be banned permanently from this community.
PaintKZ's demo is already history since it has been improved since. He will also be banned.
Also, as a reminder, we encourage all those who are currently cheating to come forward, because this is the only way they can still be a part of this community. Their demos will be removed, but they will still have the chance to continue their journey in our community. No other punishment will be involved. For the rest, the only verdict is permanent ban. And make no mistake, we will catch them sooner or later.
Now that this is out of our way, we can start the final preparations for the LJ Release, as some of these cheated demos were standing in our way. We already found lots of cheated demos there as well, but all that next time.
Thanks a lot for your time. See you soon!
Best regards,
XJ Staff
