There was a hacker that was speed hacking on the server and we were trying to get rid of him. Hence why the server was locked. It has since been re-opened.

"Friendly" Cogito,

While I find it amusing you jumped on this so quickly, as RedHawk stated above, there was a sighting of a speed hacker. With the shitty tools in use for administrators, it is quite hard to catch one when all it says is "<player> killed". I do not know of any ability to see who did the killing (if there is a tool for this, by all means let me know!), and we only see who was killed. The quickest and easiest choice was to lock the server and narrow down the list of potential people.

The players left in there just happened to all be clan members of the same clan, and in direct contact with me while I was doing some college homework. I am not a member of their, nor do I show direct favoritism to any particular person. I started letting users trickle back into, and once I had the issue confirmed as solved, the server was unlocked. I even personally apologized to some regulars in private messages as they rejoined in.

If you have any issues, by all means, directly contact me. As you can see when you join into the server, and in my signature, my steam information is WIDELY available. I am online and easy to contact.

Thank you,

Jhuild

EDIT: And yes, you can see logs and such, but 4 gigs of log later, there is not a single indication of any of usefulness.

Just curious btw but why did we change server names? Not mad just got us a bit confused till i realized my only favorited server on six launcher was now 439 lol

Everyone needs to fall in line with the new format. City XXX is out, Country XXX is in

HFB hosting did a mass change last night, so quite a few were impacted with little notice (email a few hours before it happened).

Still...rules are rules. Granted the admins should have better tools to deal with hackers but a server is not supposed to be locked for any reason.

Get me a better/quicker/more efficient choice, and I'll gladly use it. Until then, as you will see many other admins say about various topics, I will do what I have to do.

my question is why you would find it amusing that he jumped on this situation so quickly? while i find your solution to the problem to be legit, his concern of being kicked without reason and having the server locked is also legit and shouldnt be so blantly disregarded or amusing to you... juz sayin
