#50 Thank You Letter to RGL in TF2 General Discussion
Air_arguing for random demo checks under the logic of "it discourages cheaters because they might get randomly requested" is incredibly stupid. maybe in a real league, but with rgl you have an anti-cheat team that watches 3 dozen mxr demos and concludes he isn't cheating, there is a 0% chance of them discovering a cheater off a random demo check, short of someone spinbotting in the first 30 seconds of the demo

Random checks help to make sure that everyone follows the rules and records without exceptions. When you do a lot of random requests, it will be harder to tell who is getting investigated while at the same time make more people aware that this rule exists. If you don't do that, you make it clear that you only target suspects. Public outcries like "please ban player X, they obviously cheat, you are taking too long" in threads like these poison a case and that will only ever help cheaters as well. But you'd also be surprised what you can find in a single, random demo. ;)
And perhaps sometimes an AC case isn't as easily solvable as it seems at a first glance; there could be explanations for moments where someone who doesn't know what to look for can reach premature conclusions. A player that got banned a bit later is still better than someone innocent getting banned for something that ended up being nothing.
You don't want scenarios like alfa's UGC ban to be a common occurence, right?

#32 Thank You Letter to RGL in TF2 General Discussion

Failing to provide another demo less than 3 months after your 2nd infraction is kinda on you tbh. Like at that point you should make sure that your P-REC is correctly installed + set to notify you that it is recording, or you switch to the in-game demo system if you cannot get P-REC to work.
It's a given that players who are known to not upload demos multiple times before will get another request in the future.

Phantomdefinitely need admins to use reason with the requesting demos thing. if someone is a suspected cheater or something then sure, but I have a warning for the rest of eternity cause i got requested and didn't have the demo due to reinstalling windows even tho my team got 4-0'd by sandblast

Infractions last for 4 years, the same as it is on ETF2L. The fact that only a select amount of players ever collected 3, 4+ demo infractions makes me think that 4 years isn't too long of a time period either. It used to be a permanent infraction in the past, but the game is old now and it would punish older community members more. I don't think your PC or hard-drive will fail 4+ times in 4 years.

Players must store POV demos for at least three months after the last match of the event, such as a season or a cup, that match was played in. Upon request by a staff member for a particular demo, they must supply it.
...
Demo offenses that are 4-years or older are reset and do not count towards a player’s future penalty. Players that have a past cheating ban do not have an expiry with demo offenses.

What I can say is that demo requests should be made relatively close to the match, even following the rule above admins should still try to request from for example a week 1 match while the season is still on-going, requesting that same week 3 months (or even more) later should only be done in very extreme cases.

MoermanPls only demo request when you suspect the player to cheat. So RGL, antlers and tftv shouldnt go through this misery in the first place.

So you or someone else that is being investigated by the AC team will know exactly when that is the case?
I cannot state enough how important it is for AC that players are forced to record and keep their POVs, and having a lot of random requests and clear punishments help to make sure players know and actually care about the rule. STVs are rarely valid replacements for POVs.

“I think dad and me, we would understand each other in a different way now simply because we speak a similar language, the language of motorsport, and that we would have much more to talk about. And that’s where my head is most of the time, thinking that would be so cool. I would give up everything just for that.”

#6 Upcoming Tip of the Hats will not feature TF2 in TF2 General Discussion

From their trello board:
https://imgur.com/a/v6YNTL0

Jason BaxterDecide what type of content will be shown on-stream. There has been discussion of having one game a day and excluding TF2 for this year due to a shared general lack of interest in the game [...]
I think it's safe to say we can expect people to be disappointed when they find out this is likely going to be the first event with extremely little or even no TF2 content, but it is what it is for now.

They also seem to be thinking of rebranding in the future:

Jason BaxterWe've briefly discussed the idea off/on of rebranding for various reasons.
This would also include a color/logo/naming rebrand.

#3 Name Change in Requests

Thanks! The current link is twitch.tv/amaterasu_tf, though I did still show up in the sidebar when I streamed with the new link iirc. I can change the URL in a month, I'll bump this with the new link once I have it if needed.

#19 rahThread: EU vs NA girls-only teams in The Dumpster
RahmedActually I thought anonymity meant something else, what I really mean is just making it more comfortable and accessible to play in a less toxic environment

Making it a big deal with a "women-only team" cup is the thing that will attract trolls and idiots alike, good luck and have fun moderating that Twitch chat.

#12 EU Newbie Mixes - Powered by newbie.tf & TF2IsPwn in Projects

Still looking for coaches and maybe another admin or two to help out with drafting/organising on the EU side.
If you meet any people who are trying to get into 6v6 we'd also really appreciate it if you suggest newbie.tf to them, these mixes are pretty known in NA but not that many players are aware that we also do this for EU now, so newbie attendance has been very mixed so far.

#26 TF2 update for 6/22/21 in TF2 General Discussion
BeaterIs this going to fuck up the skyboxes of Snakewater AND Process when you watch back demos from a previous patch?

uhhhhh
https://imgur.com/a/CjAZj22

Does this happen to anyone else or is it on my end? Game restart and different demo didn't help.

Edit: Removed custom folder to make sure it wasn't an issue with a vpk or plugin, made it look even worse as I could now see map entities for some reason without any console commands.

2nd Edit:
Downloads for the old Snakewater and Process versions if anyone needs them: https://mega.nz/file/ky51CCpb#m9qhlMHdU-cWI1Pg5WKPWz7O_IavlwWoAxfp6q7kfKs
https://mega.nz/file/supjjCqb#tP7RN6k9L-vK-FE-elhdnDX27tVN9gyOWbqpjEzZH54

3rd Edit:
Comparing the two versions the size of the map increased by a lot, triple the original size it seems: https://i.imgur.com/Il9qgz6.png

#38 What legacy will you leave for TF2 in TF2 General Discussion

Being probably the first EU Anti-Cheat admin who will get banned for cheating and receiving a VAC ban just now...
https://i.imgur.com/Mfuxl4s.jpg
As the gig is up, I will be honest and admit that I was cheating in this match https://etf2l.org/matches/79232/. I was using ESP to see invisible Spies and I got too cocky, I mean who will ever report an AC member? You can actually see it in the demos if you look for it.

I'm sorry to all my previous teammates and friends at ETF2L staff.

Edit: because this post still manages to fool people two months after April 1st

#29 astre oh no. in TF2 General Discussion
fygThat being said imo there's a difference between getting vac'd when you're a 14 year old pubber vs getting league banned when you're actively competing and of the age to know that cheating is bad.

That's true. But imo differentiating between who "deserves" to get perma'd and who doesn't because of age, circumstances and so on (did it only happen in pubs, do you believe them if they say it was only in pubs etc.) seems like it could open a whole can of worms with admin bias, community bias and so on.
For the two examples I gave, both of them had already participated in multiple seasons before their ban. If they are reading this: sorry for calling you out, I just saw that you got one year VAC bans on ETF2L way back then and you seemed like the best players to name. Also because this was a funny read: https://etf2l.org/2012/05/26/staff-changes-a-ban/
