Admins will (at some point) have a verbal discussion with the OP and decide on the basis of that, whether to unban.
As hinted at above, *sometimes* we make special exceptions for low-grade 'hax' where people have made stupid decisions or one-off mistakes, but generally, our logic goes that if you hack once, you'll always hack, and we don't like hackers here.
For the record:
The Cheat Engine app is DETECTED by BattlEye as Gamehack #38, and BattlEye KICKS for it. Apparently it does work in some games that are BE-protected, but not all of them, necessarily. I am not totally sure whether CE has any useful purpose in ARMA3 (but am investigating - which means more of my time wasted, so I am already not a happy bunny, OP).
Battleye Extended Control (BEC) is an (unofficial) add-on to Battleye which can (if set up) turn the BE-detected Gamehack 38 'kick' in to a local server-applied BAN. Ours is set up to do that, along with all other gamehack detections. We *hate* hackers here, so we ban first and ask questions later.
Our BEC is also set up to report its bans to a global BEC database, which other ARMA3 admins can choose to trust or not, as they see fit. We automatically 'trust' ALL BEC gamehack bans that other admins on the BEC DB have auto-reported, which means even if you don't run hax here, if you ran them on another BEC-protected server, there's a good chance you'll be banned here. In very rare cases, we will take steps to override specific gamehack BEC global bans, but the story needs to be DAMN good...
I want NO further baiting or arguing on this thread from here onwards. I don't want to hear ANY friends squeaking about 'unban our friend please' or providing any backstory or evidence. There's none that you can help with, and you'll do your friend more harm than good, especially if you attack other players here on his thread.
Likewise, I want NO further comments against the OP, whether he hacked or not, whether he is scum or not, and so on. Leave it to the admins.
And please refrain from posting 'funnies' on this thread now too. Normally I can live with a few of these, but because this is a HACK related thread, the temperature has gone way up. Not appropriate here.
Why haven't I locked the thread? Easy. I want to see which one of you fools will cross the line. There is a ban waiting for the first one who does. Think *very* carefully before posting in this thread.
Admins will update this thread as and when. The OP will be contacted for a meet-up on TS and a little chat.
