Banned/muted by: MrDrewSky
Why you should be unbanned/unmuted: I don't hack, I am a regular pvp streamer and was trying the server out to see if it was interesting enough to stream. I can offer you guys to screenshare me, but other than that I'm not sure how else I can prove I don't hack.
 
Howdy there, PCSwift! I am sorry for just now getting to this. Now, you were banned for ForceField/Reduced KB and for ban evasion on your alt account, SewerSlayer, as you used a VPN to immediately access the server after your ban.

Now, in the video above I am going to provide time keys to look at that were very suspicious.

0:16 Two hits from a troll, yet there was little to no KB.
0:40 The sharpness particles appear, even though you're not even directly looking at the person.
0:41 Same as 0:40.
0:57 You took zero KB from a troll. Keep in mind, troll has knockback 1.
2:04 You took zero KB from Cadmus.
2:33 Zero KB, once more.
2:54 Sharpness particles appear, even though you do not have line of sight on the person.
3:14 Zero KB.
4:13 The most sketchy of them all. You charge blindly into a group of teammates and one enemy, yet you don't even swing at the enemy until you're past him, yet you still got the kill.
6:35 Zero KB.
 
In this image, this is where you got the kill behind your back. You ran right into the group at 4:13 in the video, you did not swing once running towards him, yet you swing and kill him behind your back.
 
These are two other images of you hitting people outside your line of sight.
 
0:16 the troll was not sprinting, as such they don't do much knockback, he was in a corner, in the air in a combo.
0:40 not very good camera angle so its hard to understand what's going on, but I'm sure thats ping issues, not evidence of forcefield.
0:41, again, ping issues.
0:57 the sharpness particles triggering, like 0:40, doesn't denote a hit. I wasn't hit by anythng, therefore I took 0 knockback. From this, we could deduce Richard_ is hacking if we were to look at each player as you did.
2:04 I took knockback, the person behind then hit me as well, which why I kept moving in c4mus' direction.
2:33 I took fall damage, thats why I took 0 kb. Also as a sidenote, antikb isn't selective in determining whether you're knockbacked or not, it happens consistently.
2:54 lag issues, or else if I had Forcefield the person to my right would've gotten hit as well.
3:14 I did take kb in this situation.
4:13 I got one hit off in the fight, someone else got the kill. Also really hard to determine what even is going on, with the terrible camera angle and blurry video. Also, if I had forcefield, I would've been hitting my team mates as well as the enemy.
6:35 I was caught along the slab, I had no where to get knocked back into. In your own video you are lagging yourself.

A hacker should be consistently not getting normal knockback, and consistently hitting multiple people. A real forcefield hack would hit many people at once, who are all in my attack range. Reduced KB isn't a hack that's available on any client I know of.
"Never missing a hit" isn't a hack or any form of a hack, it's just good aim. Forcefield hits everyone within a certain range of you, killaura is always hitting everyone nearby, there's no hack that just hits one exact person within a certain amount of blocks of my crosshair. Also at no point in the entire do I hit my teammates, which is what forcefield would do.

Of all the timestamps you didn't post, why would I toggle and untoggle arbitrarily?

About dodging the ban, you're right I was wrong to do so. I only played for a couple of minutes, which isn't even a good excuse, I shouldn't of even logged on. It was wrong to do, and I'm sorry.

Edit: The pictures, the sharpness particles don't denote a hit, it's just a result of ping issues.
 
Sorry for grammar mistakes, i dont have time to correct them ;).
Ok guys, i really think i should say something about it. So:
1. Forcefield( named like that in old nodus client, its basically blatant, terribly coded killaura), like PCSwift said is hitting everyone in range, there is no possible way he is using that.

2. All good clients, like vape lite, allows you to reduce your kb by 0 - 100 %. You can also pick % when antikb will work, for example 33 %, so only 1/3 hits will have reduced kb. You can also turn on options like: Only while sprinting, Only when facing enemy.

3. Killaura. There are multiply versions of it. You can toggle it to hit only 1 person, to aim directly at enemy on client side, to aim directly at enemy on server side( on your client side your crosshair isnt even moving), to hit all enemys in range, set diff range values.

4. Now the vid:
Both of you have high ping in this vid, its very important.

0:40 They BOTH got hit in the same time. I think the only explanation is lag( mainly Drew's). Swift was definitely seeing opponent on his client side somewhere else than Drew did on his client side. On server side both of them were looking exactly at each other, bcs they got hit in the same time.

0:57 Swift got first hit, and troll doesnt have srint. Even if you ignore the missing half slab below Swift( which, for me is enough to explain that) , the delayed kb ( there clearly is movement backwards, tbh it looks like he got blocked with that hole) it looks a bit sketchy, very small part of evidence ( ignorring a missing half slab ) Swift, your body was red, so you got hit.

2:04 Note, that Cadmus isnt looking even close to Swift!!! Its very hard to determine where the kb should go, bcs they are clearly in diff places than we see on Drew's client side. If he was facing Cadmus and moved forward to him, its completly normall to dont get kb at all( if he got first hit). After second hit there is clear delayed kb.

2:33 No, you didnt take fall dmg Swift, but, lucky for you, you clearly took normall, delayed, kb. Just ping diff.

2:54 Swift is 100 % right. We can clearly see that Swift is following with his crosshair the EXACT same path where his opponent was moments before, so, the only cheat you could call on that is aimbot, but you cant prove it with 3rd person vid.

3:14 Clear delayed kb, he went flying lol.

4:13 If we consider everything from the vid, thats something what we should expect to happen. I dont see anything wrong with that situation.

6:35 Drew, you were lagging like crazy in this last part of evidence. Even, if we ignore that, after all hits we can see delayed kb, and after first hit he got blocked by half slab tho.

Summarizing, this video, considering how laggy it is, cant be evidence to prove someone's hacks. Even if we ignore that fact, there is 1 , maybe 2 a bit scetchy situation. Personally, i dont see any reason to think that guy cheats. The evidence is 100000000000000 miles away from proving anything, in other words its just t e r r i b l e.

For me, the punishment is unfair, only based on bad knowledge of the moderator. On the other hand, Swift clearly broke the rule too, he joined on his alt. I think that either he should be unbanned, or get a small punishment due to breaking rule 1.
 
Alright, I've done some thinking and have taken into account what Miho has said.

I do believe that due to my North American ping, I have wrongly made an assumption. I take full responsibility of this mistake and I do wholeheartedly apologize.

I will pardon your main account, PCSwift, and your alternative account, SewerSlayer. I will reduce your ban to three days, but solely for the reason of you using a VPN and an alternative account to evade the ban given at the time. Please, do not evade punishments, and instead make an appeal.

Appeal accepted.

Locked.

Welcome back, Swift!
