Firstly, they need to revert the anti-cheat plugin to the one where cheaters can't fly around freely. It doesn't matter at what cost. I'd rather play with the plugin screwing up my PvP a bit than having to deal with a flying kill aura. Secondly, they need to make cheating bans permanent and make them temporary IP bans. Most of these cheaters are using alt accounts that you can buy online for 5 cents each and they can buy hundreds at a time. We're just wasting our time if these alts are going to be unbanned in 30 days and added back into the pool for another cheater to use. Just make it so that a person can appeal the cheating ban after 30 days using the forums instead of automatically doing so. This is how it was when I was moderator and I have no idea why this was changed. I literally have a cheater in every skywars game and banning them doesn't do anything since that account will be right back at it in another 30 days AND they will just switch to an alternate account immediately after being banned unless IP banned. TLDR; 1. Revert back to the old anti cheat 2. Cheating bans are permanent for the account unless appealed after 30/60/90 days using the forums based on the offense #. 3. Cheating bans temporarily ban the IP of the account for 30 days. This isn't really this hard I'm not sure why we have to deal with a cheater ridden server. It was never this bad back when I used to be Moderator.
Reply to second: When a hacker is banned and they use another alt "to ban evade" a Senior Moderator would checks their IP to make sure that they are the same user that got banned, and if that user has more then two accounts banned under the same IP on MCC would be "IP banned" At the same time its just a rule and a thing "for client modification", also people that breaks client modification more than three times would be perm-banned!" About Ip-ban instead of ban: If a two users are playing on MCC and one the user has a brother or sister that was hacking and got Ip-banned, why should that user be Ip-banned? Just because their brother or sister hacked? I think the account that hacked should deserve the ban instead of the whole IP. (thats why ban evading rule exist" Also since MCC allows users to use alt to join back on server when their main got banned "unless they have more then two accounts banned at the same time" but if they get now IP-ban they won't able to use their alt to join back on server "not to hack" Reply to post idea: I see your point, saying that these are alts not real people that are just playing and being all unfair etc, and would start hacking again on that alt after its unbanned in 30 or 60 days, however I believe the users still have to be auto unbanned instead of going onto posts to appeal, but I see that your trying to point out that "people with alts must go on to forums to appeal to get unbanned to make sure that they are not alts" but if you said "they can just get new alts for 5 cents" then this method might be useless for hackers that would keep on coming back instead of waiting for their alt to get unbanned, but at the same time alts passwords would usually change less then 20 days. Reply about Anti-Cheat: Also its very very obvious by now that "MCC anti-cheat isn't that good" it's not such a new thing as right now there are more than 20+ posts about "hackers" and "Anti-cheat" being all broken. Conclusion: I know many people are just upset about the hacker issue that is happening right now, but the best thing you all can do is report them, instead of making same posts about "hackers" and anti cheat issue, its an already known problem! (But I do know that you guys are upset about the issue) Report link: https://mccentral.org/community/forums/reports/ ~Thanks!
Yes the first cheater might not use that account again since it was already banned. However when the second cheater who also gets the login information to that account tries to use it and it's past 30+ days he would be able to. We should be permanently banning any accounts which are unsecured and are being sold to cheaters because that's the only reason those accounts will be used. Having to have a senior moderator IP check every ban is very inefficient. It should be automated.
If I was a Moderator half of MCC Factions would be banned but since Moderators are lazy and don't spectate when I say they are blatantly hacking we have the same issue everyday causing other players to hack so they get a chance on this lazy server
Hey! The main flaw with your idea is that staff aren't required to record. In a rare situation if the ban was false or the account was compromised, at least the user can return in 30 Days. I do agree maybe the duration should be longer, like maybe 60 Days -> Permanent but not straight up permanent, unless the Admin Team introduces an evidence policy. As for IP-Bans, we already IPBan almost every fly hacker there is but VPNs exist and it's also not that hard to change your IP manually. Regardless of how many permanent bans or IPBans we issue, they still have ways to return. I really wish Mojang had a better security system, just like discord, if you log in from a new device or IP, you need to verify via email. If Mojang had this integrated (since all those accounts as you said are compromised/stolen), it'd probably be much harder to use alternative accounts to cheat on.
If the ban was false and they made a forum appeal after 30 days it would be accepted. The point is most hackers using alts wont go through the effort to create a forum account for that account and appeal it, but a real user would. This doesn't require staff to record or any changes in how you need evidence. Imagine all of these alt accounts are in a shared pool amongst cheaters. All you're doing is removing that alt from the shared pool for 30 / 60 days. They should be permanently removed from the pool at first sighting, and if it's determined that they are a legit user, they can manually request for an unban through the punishment appeals section.
