I'm admin there but I'm not on discord for the next few weeks.
See if this works:

Link does not work

Well long story short, I can't access my old steam account, so I have a second account that I play on, so some butthurt admin came on while I was playing and he's like "You're fake" etc then after the game he perma banned me and I was like wtf? - I've been playing on those servers for years, regardless. So yeah, that's about it really.

it sounds like you improved, so just take it as a compliment.

I've improved? Once upon a time, I was one of the top CA spammers lul. So the admin is just a moron.

probabaly that naa guy, god forbid u join the server without a country-flag he will isntantly check where u r connecting from, and then the complaining will start..

another prime example is that dude funkusmunkus, there is nothing his detecitve eye will miss, he will google you, he will check ur steam account and do all kinds of reasearch, if your account is private.. that will break his heart

i have never seen such a primadona community like the QL one

in q3 u would just install the game from a bruned cd, pick your point release, set any random nick, join a fucking server and play

In a game without maintained anticheat, best cheat protection is trust and community building. Go check any healthy server on q3 or any other old game nowadays - it's the same. Maybe your memories are skewed because nobody cares about noobs who just installed the game. If someone with new account/fake nick comes and destroys everyone it's a different matter.

You want anonymity and no consequences? Go play one of these huge meat grinder online games. No questions asked, you may also get banned without a chance to appeal. If this is your thing.

my memory is very sharp on this matter as this was the only game i played when i was younger, i think its the people that are left just are snarky and old..

you should never balance the game around cheaters.

just because some nerds play this game for hours on end everyday, and then someone comes in and does well, does not mean he is a cheater.. it just means the ego of some people took a hit..

"bro i play 5 hours a day everydeay for the past 10 years, how can this guy come in and get more frags, must be cheater.. lets flame him"

I totally agree with your statement. Majority of gamers now days are too sensitive when something in-game doesn't go their way. So they resort to name calling, banning, looking up your Facebook profile and who knows what else. Checking your LOLCA stats and ELO.
- kinda liked when ID ran servers (no power abusing)

And like you said in the old days you bought the game, install, set nickname, join server and nobody really questioned you as to who you are or what. They just played the game and have fun.

Quake Live servers are supervised by Valve Anti Cheat. Still dont get it why people think QL has no anti cheat.

Does it work? Is it updated?
I can't say I've noticed anyone cheating in a hundred of hours I put into it recently, but I'm not very attentive to it and rarely spec others. At least not aimboting, with wh it's really hard to tell.

Dont think there are any cheaters atm.. i mean its a dead game.

Team Fortress 2, on the other hand, is riddled with cheaters

Well, you compare apples with bananas literally. Look at TF2 player count.

There aren't that many people playing TF2

You must be kidding right? https://steamcharts.com/cmp/282440,440

I spent the last few months of 2020 playing TF2 extensively. There aren't that many REAL players. At least 90% of them are idling in some kind of item-focused servers or whatever. Check it out for yourself

Quake 4 embarassment, nite in retardation!

:'(

lol

dogs is dead now, someone has been ddossing the servers and others too, idk wht the beef is

One can prevent them completely with firewall rules and good hosting, but you need learn a lot. Turns out hosting game servers is neither easy nor cheap. Quite a few ppl who obtained a profession out of hosting community servers and learning to improve it.

Firewall setting wouldnt help at all because DR-DOS. Also good hosting wouldnt help at all as well when you have enough power :)

He may run out of his pocket money to buy enough power, and then you can try to buy even more on your side - this is where "it's not cheap" part comes into play.
I've seen many dos attempts mitigated with good enough firewall configuration (and enough bandwidth to hold it obviously). Sure someone can come up with something better, but 99% it's some clueless guy who's just mad. And this is in q3 and similar. Dunno about ql but I'd hope they improved protocol to be harder to spoof or use reflection.

If it's so impossible to prevent dos then how did bethesda's servers run for so many years? Or any service on the internet? Answer - it's not free to execute successful attack and service provider can make it even more expensive.

yes, the cheater "pudding" has been DDOSing and crashing servers last week.

bla

what's your beef? is it someone on the servers you dont like or smth?

Naa may be the better person to ask

I asked him whilst we were playing "is it just you he's angry with" and he said "no you idiot" :/

Big Yikes

What I take from your summary of the events is that you're a cheater and extortionist. Well done, wonder what the other side has to say though.

You seem to be butthurt as well. I didnt extort none, in fact, naa extorted me lmao

I don't know you, just reading esr.
I didn't say you succeeded in your extortion attempt so yes, you are a failed extortionist.
He didn't extort you, he was in his right. Servers are his property and he can invite whoever he pleases to play on them.

It doesnt actually matter if its his server or not, he still extort me or no? If you would have read the post carefully enough, then you would know what i am talking about.
Right, you dont know me. So you are not in the position to call me a cheater, IF you dont even know how i am playing.

You wrote it all yourself, don't be mad

He uses dicord chat plugin exploit to crash the servers

Just some power-hungry admin banning me cause I was smurfing or I was fake, when everyone on the server knew it was me anyways. So a proper moron move.

Admin? Power Hungry? On the internet?

NEVER

These guys uphold the law to every fibre of their being.

I KNOW RIGHT??

Yes, naa is the admin ur talking about. Completely dick. They deserved to be ddosed.
I mean look, you are not the only one.
