Just to build on what @ Fraali
has already said:
as most know I am very active with tickets and I even like to go through resolved appeals and tickets to see how other people made decisions, see if theres any mistakes etc. I can confirm that Fraali doesn't allow any cheaters back unless theyve been banned for MANY years. The only thing that he does is make sure they are in fact cheating out of fairness because banning people for cheating without evidence of actual cheating is shitty and sets a pretty poor precedent. Which means if we ban you for scripting - its about 95% accurate. Which means they STAY banned. Which is what we want when it comes to cheaters. If there's one staff member you can expect to stay impartial through and through, especially when it comes to cheating, its this motherfucker.
As for the dude who didnt die from the heli drop - I am pretty sure that I was the one that denied the report for cheating. If it was a cheat, such as god mode, he wouldnt have died immediately after from bullets. That being said, I have seen that happen even when there isnt an active bug. The amount of times ive jumped out of a heli that was about to crash while playing cop and got lucky to not die over the years is pretty high. Obviously if this same person continues to do it and is clearly abusing the bug to gain an advantage then please re-report and they will be banned. But a one off where they died anyways isnt enough to prove abuse.
I do my best to be transparent and available for everyone for situations like these and others. I know some of you guys havent had great experiences with consistency and if there are people being inconsistent, I do hope you report them to Sr Staff. I will say for me - Im in a one man gang by myself and I dont play with anyone besides when i hop on cop. I am open to explaining anything when people have questions and I have even had a pretty regular line of communication with players in Devreler such as @ 911 and @ YouRock Obama etc. I also welcome that line of communication with anybody else. I am an open book, I will be as transparent as I can and be as honest as I can be to help you understand why decisions have been made one way or another.
TLDR; Fraali basically says fuck all cheaters. Report people abusing shit and suspecting cheaters. And I love you
