There may be something to worry about down the line, but for the record, effective anti-cheats have to be rootkits because ok+ quality cheats generally are. It certainly doesn't take away the possibility of it just loading beforehand in the boot, but it at the very least takes away a good portion of the cheats that bad programmers would make.

When you install anything or use any service there's always going to be that possibility that down the line something you didn't pay attention to is used differently than you intended, but that's the case for every service and every anti-cheat... this one isn't really any different from what we've seen so far.

Also that hugely upvoted post by someone that "works in IT" is mostly complete nonsense. Dude doesn't have a clue. The dude called amd64_sucks is speaking some sense and actually comes from a position of experience in reverse engineering/game hacking/blogging about it.

Raging is stupid and doesn't make your teammates do any better

I think he was talking about Console in this case, not Nursey.

Note: not trying to make this thread about me, just trying to shine a light on how Console is acting because I think it's worthy of criticism.

Could have just responded with a "I don't support pedophiles" but I guess that'd be a lie?

Console said they banned "one guy" (I think it was me, since I directly spoke to them) but otherwise it's been someone called Crytavino. Console joined the stream and wasn't mod, then after saying hewwo uwu and being nice to Nursey was modded by Nursey... then asked to be demodded/VIP'd because everyone saw it all.

Finally permabanned boys

Anyway, the point of this to me was to just not allow someone like Nursey (or the people somehow being friendly or supporting her) to get away with it. They can't just be allowed to go on as normal, so while it may look mad immature to be posting memes about it in chats and shit I think leaving it alone is worse.

Person does insanely fucking stupid thing, person gets criticised *

I don't think they downplayed what happened to Consolee, if anything it was pointing out the enormous double standard.

I think the thread now turned into a "how the fuck is a TFTV admin seeing this request and going to Nursey's chat to say "hewwo uwu" and ask if she wants to be removed.

Don't worry tho they're gonna make it look like they're not being supportive :)

Effectively what I wanted to say, but surprise surprise they're banning anything that is even remotely about Nursey's actions within seconds.

While we're at it let's remove this person's power as well :)

Not a huge fan of pedos personally, and she's streaming right now with mods that are saying they "see both sides" lmfao

EDIT:
Consolee_ did remove the pedo from the sidebar, after going there to ask if she wanted to be removed while being friendly. Thanks Consolee! :)

Scout roles and things you should think about outside of the bare bones shit, I think that's missing and it would help a lot of newer players!
