As Q3A is plagued with cheats and PB is not able to stop it, the same 
players have cracked all ready Q4 and fun is gone.

However I have a brilliant idea how to improve PB and catch cheaters in 
every game.

How about asking honest players to send recorded demos with cheaters to 
evenbalance?

Make PB that way that will record... ID number/key and nick for the game.

If someone will send you a demo and key will be embedded with that demo 
and it will be evident that player is cheating, than a procedure should 
be easy!!!

1-st time ban for 1 month, than 3 months, than a  permanent ban!

Just as people for serious demos with cheaters.

Instead of working on newest patches (You could ease on these ones, 
because they are the problematic anyway) watch demos with recorded 
numbers, player names and send them the message that they are banned for 
1 month. If they will complain, show them the demo!

You can even display these demos for d/load at your web page!

WITH THEIR NICK NAMES!!!

Of course they will have to change the way they cheat, change numbers 
and change their nicks all the time. And that is PAIN for them. If they 
change names, everybody will know, that they are cheating and that's the 
reason, they are changing their nicknames.


Let's say you're getting demo Gladiator -34rfg35447856mb and is very 
clear that he is cheating.

You could a lift a ban, if cheater will send you his undetectable by PB 
cheat!

;)

If he will cheat again, a permanent ban.

If he will complain (I doubt!) he can be shown a demo or he can d/load 
it for himself and other will learn how to spot a cheater.

Initially will be a hard work but... nothing will really work for 
cheaters and a situation will greatly improve to the stage, that 
cheating will be rare and cheater will run away from the server, before 
someone will record the demo.


Many others will play quake, if cheats will be gone.


Warmest regards and Happy New Year!!!
