When you see cheaters... Aarghy's advice

Regarding the issues raised in this thread, i.e when you see or suspect a cheater:

http://forums.barrysworld.com/showthread.php?threadid=20599

For goodness sake come to #bwadmins as soon as possible don't just sit in the game feeling miserable. Barrysworld has an amazing amount of active CS admins and the vast majotiry of the time the nasty little bleeder will be dealt with in a very final and hopefully humiliating way.

A few other rather obvious things you can do:

1 - Make a note of the cheater's wonid, so you can tell the admins when you report the suspected cheater. Admins love that.

2 - Remember to start your message in IRC with the cheater's name, hopefully wonid, the server and the nature of the suspected problem

3 - DON'T TELL the players on the server you are going to IRC to report a cheat.

4 - If you see someone join the server and you think they might be an admin, don't address them as such because again it can alert the cheater. Rest assured they will be onto the problem pretty damn quick if someone is cheating.

5 - Don't be impatient if an admin does arrive and not kick the cheater immediately. Admins do have to collect evidence to make sure the cheater NEVER comes back again. This can take a short time. There would be no point in just kicking the cheater only for them to come back the next day.

6 - If the cheater admits it in on screen text, take a condump having made sure you have typed 'status' into the console first. This is unlikely to help much but in theory it could.

7 - If an LPB joins a modem only server don't try to reason with them beyond asking them to leave (nicely) - if they don't leave they are f00ls and the only thing you can do is to come to #bwadmins on IRC. If an admin hears your request and the LPB is not kicked, that's probably because they are an admin. Most admins would simply kick the LPB remotely, and therefore very swiftly.

Also:

dont change your name to ADMINNEEDED, its anot exactly the most discrete way of getting an admin without alerting a possible cheater.

I have to say that the BW admins seem to have imprved alot over the recent months. Once you go into #bwadmins you are no longer sat in there for ages waiting and hoping an admin will turn up. I've been there a few times recently and have recived an almost immediate responce. Kepp up the good work lads :D

Sometimes it takes a while, but the problem is what i do is ALT + TAB out of CS and into mIRC, by the time ive connected to the #bwadmins and stated my reasons, the Server kicks me coz i Time Out.

S'pose it would be useful to find somethin like HalfIRC

That is the most recent version of HalfIRC but unfortunately it isn't compatible with the latest version of mIRC, so unless you want to take your chances running mIRC 5.91 which has a known buffer overload exploit, it's back to Alt-Tabbing :(

Press ESC in the Game, so then it goes into the Main Menu, then press your Windows button on your Keyboard and press ESC again and Resume, Sound *should* return

My personal view is to switch to the same team as a cheater and make his life a fucking misery. Running round and stabbing them in the head is fucking awesome fun and it pisses them off immensely.

It is rather anti-social though.

and it is usually what a cheater wants, you to show you are pissed off.
