This is my view on Genocide as it is being called, and how it is said to work against MAM only servers.
Genocide is an attempt by cheaters to get away with cheating, by making it so that they use cyber attacks on servers simply so that they can make people paranoid enough to stop using MAM.
If they have a problem with having their keys unbound, screen pasted white, etc, I suggest that they do not cheat in the first place. This simple measure, IE respecting your fellow human being, will allow them to play nicely and not have to worry about malicious actions.
Cheaters have no right, and no reason to complain about actions taken against them. They are the ones in the wrong, a server admin should not unbind their keys, a server admin should NOT whitebright their screens. But the server admin would have no feeling to need to otherwise.
Also, unbinding keys, deleting configs et cetra actually DOES accomplish a relatively usefull goal, it inconveniences cheaters and makes it harder for them to ruin the game of other players. Every time a cheater comes on a server, and then cheats against his fellow players he is ruining their game just as assuradely had he unbound their keys, and deleted their configs.
This wastes the same amount of cheaters time, as cheaters waste non-cheaters time. I can feel no sympathy for a person who has such a lack of ethics toward his fellow gamer that he would cheat against them, there is no reason to cheat except to give yourself an advantage you would not otherwise have.
I do not specifically condone unbinding of keys, whitewashing the screen etc, but I do not have any sympathy for those that have ahd it done, and if you have it done to you, maybe you shoudl think twice about cheating next time.
any replys, or other topics on this forum about Genocide will be deleted unless they are posted by Hammer, RudeDog, or myself.
this is not a forum to deal with malicious server admins, or a forum to deal with scum (AKA cheaters). This forum is for questions pertaining to the use of the MAM package, which can have many different things written for it for server management, it gives unparrelleled server managament capabilities and should not have those abilities abused. It was written to be open ended to allow people to add their own funcitonality and abilities, and it definately does that. if you feel that it gives server admins too much power, you must remember that MAM itself does nothing unusual, and nothing that could not be done by anyone, it just facilitates the ease of script compatibility and creation.
MAM comes in multiple parts, the main module, some default commands, a security module, and an addonpak module, these are what are officially supported, MOHAACI modifications are also supported as I recieve them and can get them on the page, though it is important to note the latest version of MAM_Security on this web page is signifigantly older than the latest MAM module on blackbarts MOHAACI program. THIS IS A GOOD THING since the security MODULE was MADE for MOHAACI. If people are angry about being caught, then they should go to servers that are not monitored by MAM nad MOHAACI, those servers basically allow cheating, so go there and cheat. Please do not punish players for wanting to have a cheat and scum free environment.
