Hacker gave items, not sure what to do

[CommissarTom 0]

Hello, I was playing on a server a few moments ago and there were players complaining of a hacker, I'm so used to the statements that I didn't bother; however, the hacker started messing with players and suddenly after a strange video that apeared on my GPS *a second one* I was given many items, I am not sure what to do.

I have left the server and have read the forum guidlines about how to report hacks, but could not find anything on what to do with hacked items so I wanted to ask:

What should I do with said hacked items that I did not ask for, but was simply given?

I know many people had the same problem, from the responses of players including "wtf..." "uhh?" and other statements. It would be great if someone can tell me what I need to do! I have kept the servers name out of the topic as I believe this is what I am supposed to do *after reading guidlines*? If they need this information I can tell it.

Also the server is a private hive.

Thank you for your time guys!

Take care

I would get rid of them, personally. I've been banned for having them in my inventory before.

Contact the admin(s) of the hive, and let them know exactly what happened before you login again. Either have the admins remove the items from your inventory, or next time you login put them all on a Zombie body, and hide it (bury it in the ground).

IF there's a scripted item check on the server (and I'm just speculating that such a thing is even possible), you want to get all that straight prior to an automated script having permanent affect on your GUID.

If you keep the items, you'll feel cheap.

Hope this helps,

AC

great response guys! Espically AIRCAV, I liked the moral bit at the end :)

I'll probably have to do that bit, as I haven't really seen SS Yum Yum lads before
