WillsIf Moose says he wasn't hacking, I believe him.
He plays medic in UGC Gold, ffs
He has 18 drops this season, with 3 in the last two weeks he played. If he used wall hacks, he did a great job of hiding it.
If it was Open plugin, we'll find out soon enough, but maybe the anti-Moose circlejerk could hold off until we know what happened for sure.
just because he didnt hack in scrims/matches doesnt mean he didnt hack

plenty of people in prem use it too
I really doubt they ban for it

It would be very strange for Moose to waste his time "hacking" in pubs; he's a respected member of the TF2 community (outside of this group hug-and-tug) and probably is aware of how VAC bans work. If he was going to hack, why do so in a meaningless environment?

Well the point of hacking is to win, unless you're a troll who just wants to flame some pubs.
Moose isn't a troll, so if he were to hack, I'd imagine he'd do it in a match.
That said, Moose really doesn't seem like the type to hack just for a win; The Regime was run legit, and though his team (and he himself) might not be doing as well as he'd like, I just seriously doubt he'd go to the lengths of hacking just to do better.

you only have to try a hack once to get vac'd for it
im literally saying he probably tried one in a pub or a pug or SOMETHING once and it resulted in the ban

people arent minus fragging you because youre saying it or because youre defending moose or because of some "circle jerk", its because you arent actually bringing up valid points. youre saying because of his personality and because of his position he likely didnt hack. presidents and prime ministers have done crazy things too despite being in MUCH MUCH more important positions than moose.

i'm sure some people like the thrill of hiding the hack, knowing that their reputation could get ruined if they screw up (if they enjoy playing on a specific server, community, league, ect).

why are you so worried about your +/-?? it doesnt mean anything. look past the points and the wording and look at the actual content.
Clearly he was vac banned for some reason. Plenty of nice people who others have trusted have broken rules in the real world and in the TF2 community so its not like this is unprecedented. Generally, people who lie/steal/cheat don't admit to it.
It's also clear that the ban wasn't because of the open plugin. The plugin is used by TONS of people and is even broadly showcased on some popular EU streams.

I just heard about this yesterday, and I don't know what to think. I knew Moose pretty well while he was doing stuff with eXtv and he seemed like a decent dude. I think he took the game too seriously. Maybe he got overwhelmed and wanted to step away. I looked at his backpack yesterday and it shows the signs of a pretty typical hack/grab/vac. Only untradeable/uncraftable stuff is left. I have 2 theories... 1.) Moose clicked some stupid link on Steam, got his shit hacked, all his stuff stolen, and was too proud to admit it so he made up the thing about whatever plugin. Whatever. Trying to save pride or just maybe not even knowing he got hacked. or 2.) he was fed up with the game, burned out, wanted to quit, but wanted some attention first... moved all his shit to another account, downloaded a hack and got himself VAC'd to start a little bit of intrigue about his leaving.
I've dealt with some fucked up people on the internet whilst playing TF2, but Moose doesn't seem like the type of dude to pull some fucked up shit like that... but then again a lot of the people who pulled fucked up shit never seemed like they would either, guess that's kind of the point.
Regardless, I think we just need to let it go a move on. Shit happens, it's a game, people are weird, etc. If a bunch of other players from ETF2L suddenly start getting the ban hammer, then there's something to talk about... otherwise it's an isolated incident that had little or no bearing on any matches or anyone else in the leagues so let's just move on.

Valve deletes all tf2 items, which weren't bought in the shop, from VAC'd accounts.
If you could still move all of your items to a new and pretty much free (f2p + a few cent for premium) a VAC ban would be kinda pointless.
Oh, just to clarify this: If the VAC team adds a new cheat signature everyone using this cheat gets banned. So unless all OpenPlugin users get VAC'd in the next weeks, it wasn't the OpenPlugin that everyone else uses that got him banned.
And of course Valve thinks manually banning ONE random UGC admin (who used OpenPLugin once) without telling why will make everyone stop using OpenPlugin.

I suppose I just don't like the bullying atmosphere, or the glee that clearly stems from seeing misfortune fall upon someone else.

But I'd rather have you guys shit on me rather than Moose anyway, so it's fine XD

Yes and he did not trade any of his items before the ban. So he either doesn't care about items or didn't want to get banned.
Assuming no one else gets banned for using OpenPlugin there are two options left:
1.a VAC false-positive
2.moose used something that VAC considers a cheat.
So let's wait and see, if there are more bans, neither OpenPlugin nor a VAC getting false-positives would only get one person banned.
