so today there was a plauge of hackers - global what ever, justice, true liar, etc.
so what is there to be done about this? of course you can always get an admin, but this post is concering what happens when there is no cat to be found.
it seems when there are no cats, the rats come in great droves. so what is the solution to this problem? here's my advice - play it smart.
do not kill the hacker when you first spawn, this will get you kicked, in fact i suggest you do not kill them at all. what i do, beyond getting their steam id, is attack them with anything, i prefer my knife, until they are down to 10 or less health. this leaves them vunerable to death by the other team, but the best outcome you can hope for is that they retaliate and end up killing you. if they do kill you, slay them and repeat the process until they are kicked or leave. if they have speed hack this process will not work, but most hackers are the type of people who will retaliate when team attacked and usually kill you.
now i know this purification process is not condoned by the admins here, but in their absence what else is there to do to keep the game fair and enjoyable to the largest amount of people?
and for those of who who did not get the metaphor the cats are the admins, the rats are hackers and team killers/attackers, and the mice are us, the regulars to this great community along with those who joined by accedent and are doing no harm.
if there is any better way or another alerntive to my vigilante justice suggestion i would love to hear it.

I agree, yesterday was a bad day and I sure was having fun harassing Global~God~ until he turned on the speed hack. If the whole team turns on him they usually leave so keep up the good work.

how about instead of team wounding which is not condoned, have everyone go spec. Go take a short break....grab a snack, some drinks, have a smoke....just go spec and occupy yourself for 5 min. If everyone is in spec, it is obviously no fun for the hax0r

Ya I really wanted to break every bone in global god's body yesterday. God that pisses me off so much. :x But nothing was more rewarding than my spray and pray that landed one in his dome after he turned on his speed hack and was flying around the map. Heheh, stupid hacker. :D

As far as everyone going spec, it's a very novel idea, however I doubt you could get everyone to comply. It sucked that he was playing for a good thirty minutes, but after needle posted his info. in the forums, it got taken care of pretty quickly by Redy (I believe) so if it happens again, just post their info.

Or get on TS....there is almost always an admin on TS

I have another suggestion, when people ask who admins are DON'T TELL THEM! Often times it's not people who need help from admins but hackers trying to see if any admins are on, so let them think there are none on.

Or let them think there are some on (not naming names) so they don't try to hack at all.

is there a way to give extremely limited admin powers to people?

like just the ability to kick people and nothing else? cause if you can maybe you guys should think about giving them to server regulars under the express purpose that only people who are CLEARLY hacking should be kicked (ie speedhacking or everyone on the server agreeing that they hack)

just thinking this cause most of the admins seem to keep responsible sleeping hours and lunatics like me and grim are often frustrated during our late night cs binges by schmos with aimbot.

im not suggesting me, because i dont obvious dont deserve it and i dont really want it either, but its just incredibly frustrating when there are no admins around. damn you guys for having lives!

Yeah, but apparently it gets abused a lot. It's all here in this pamphlet:
