A discussion about Hackers

I know our server has had hackers for as long as I can remember. However, it seems that in recent months the amount of hackers, or I should say hacker reports I've seen on the forums, has grown. I'm looking at the latest threads bar on the side right now and see 4 report threads. You would think our server would have strong anti-cheat to prevent this. I'm not sure what our current anti-cheat is, but to be honest, it sucks. It barely does anything to hackers, as proven by the amount of hacked clients that are used on the server, it causes lag, and messes with knockback and other features in Siege. I'm not sure how the plugin works with all of Tim's coding, but personally I think it's time to get an update to the anti-cheat.

I believe there was one or two hackers that have said they've had over 10+ accounts banned from the server already. So I'm not sure if we're dealing with the same guy screwing with us, or if we have several hackers with pseudo accounts. I know the banip command just bans everyone on the server at that time, but personally I think Tim should invest some time looking into this.

On another note, I'd like to say thanks to all you people who post reports and also to the staff who get these people banned. Also the new pre-mods have definitely helped boost the server's overall quality.

So,
Do you think we need a new anti-cheat plugin?
Should we just keep our current system and let the hackers continue their alt accounts?
What do you think of our current hacker situation?
Are staff doing enough to keep hackers away?
 
I'm so gooder that I force people to use hacks or they wont stand a chance and quit the server and uninstall windows.exe
 
I do not believe the server even has Anti-Cheat. That would prevent flying and movements that are all too fast.
Something has to be done about hackers. Today, the server was completely overrun by hackers. And nothing was done to them. And they're still on the server as I type this.

I say the server is in desperate need of more staff members. We very few staff right now, and they have lives of their own and it's difficult to keep up with the server.

My suggestions: Anti-Cheat and more staff

I am tired of this hacker nonsense and I'm sure the rest of the server is too. It's time we do something more about this.
 
The server does not have "Anti-Cheat", it has NoCheat (or something similar). If you've ever been rubberbanded while flying or sprinting, that's what caused it. One way I've found that will guarantee rubberbanding every time is slowing down from sprint flying.
 
I think that time just needs to realize the problem and change the anti-cheat or no-cheat thing. It is getting out of control how many hackers there are.
 
May as well add it. Banned about 12 hackers today, not counting my sidekick Riku. Bit covered up here in this time-zone.
 
Btw, it is the same hacker all the time, he can get like 500 alts in about 30 min.
 
Hackers ruin the game for normal players. We should do anything to fix this.

If the current anti-cheat system doesn't work that well, we should try the one FJ suggested. (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/aac-advanced-anti-cheat-hack-kill-aura-blocker.6442/)

And well, more staff is always nice. We did add a few moderators lately, but our staff team is indeed quite small for a server this size.
 
The amount of hackers has defiantly gone up recently, the reports tell you that. About the Nocheat plugin, one hacker a few days ago made makz watch him hack just so he could prove how bad the plugin was. I think that Leon the infamous hacker said he wouldn't stop hacking until Tim updated the plugin. You know it's bad when hackers are telling you the plugin needs to be better!
 
He's basically taunting the server and tim, showing by showing makz that he can hack, and has the capabilities to create indefinite alt accounts. This shows the vulnerablility of our server and all it takes is one hacker who is out to do evil to cause massive problems for everyone.

Also the fact that arak banned 12 hackers in a day, for a server that probably averages around 100-120 players a day, that means at least 10% of the people who get on are hackers. That is a major problem and needs to be rectified soon.
