Following Sirvan's ban, the Community has become aware of what they consider to be a flaw in the system and are concerned that the staff are relying on the wrong person's or one person's judgement against them in the field, furthermore when you can't even defend yourself because staff won't disclose with the player, the evidence against them.
During his fight with Winterless, Ieso and Edrom, Sirvan states that Winterless made a remark about his CPS. He later found himself banned whilst Dark-rooming, with nothing more to go on than "Cheat Client".
I would like to take this opportunity to say that we're all aware Sirvan's reputation in the past puts him personally at a disadvantage in this case but for the sake of the rest of the community, the system is a threat.
I would also like to point out many players feel the staff aren't aptly trained in spotting the signs of a legitimate hacker.
Players such as Winterless and Ieso have each been "hackusated", with recordings submitted to back up their claims. We feel many of these claims match what would have resulted in a ban on neighbouring servers - but for us was dismissed as being part of a "witch hunt".
What I'm asking: Instead of a player trying to conjure up evidence after an instance has occurred - When Staff feel they have reason to believe a player is hacking, they should summon the player in question to a meeting as part of their investigation, present the evidence against them or state what they are accused of (Hacked Client - KillAura, Reach, etc) and ask them to explain themselves.
Transparency in this department is vital to combat players claiming Staff bias, ignorance, inexperience or corruption.
Edit: The Account in question should be suspended until a verdict has been reached.
