Story
So let me set the scene, it's a sunny bank-holiday over here in the UK. Virtually everybody is off of work so every server has a pretty large influx of players. We're all chilling in Bhop, messing around and having fun, when I remembered that I have an affinity for w-only bhop. From the days of NoSteam CS:S, I found my love again. The challenge, the execution, the reward that I reaped. It was worth the time that it took to relearn the old muscle-memory.... this is when our first offender, Lucky, comes in to play. He announces, (although uninvited and quite frankly nobody cared), that he was going to be made Moderator. Out of sheer courtesy myself and perhaps one other player congratulated him. At around this time I managed to break the w-only record of the map that we were playing- Previously, this record stood at 2:34- I had just scored a time of 2:16 W-Only, which I was proud of but knew that there were a tonne of optimisations that I could incorporate for a near-perfect NO-TA run.
Around this time, Lucky began to spectate me. They left the cryptic message of "a luck im not admin" before leaving shortly afterwards. I was perplexed, to say the least. When Lucky rejoined, he was accompanied by NotATraitor and OnionRings. They must have been speaking in TS as OnionRings passed along a TS link through the chat.
It wasn't long before I was being spectated by Lucky and OnionRings. This is the exact time inwhich my screen began to black-out.
This has only occured when OnionRings was spectating me, not before or during my WR run. I asked if he had something to do with it and he was quick to shift the blame on to the anti-cheat. I later asked what the anticheat was called, perhaps so I could send a ticket to the Developer to discuss the issue as it was completely out of the ordinary,
to which I was told this. Which leads me to believe that this was
potentially and act of Admin Abuse rather than the supposed Anti-Cheat.
I attempted to ask NotATraitor if he would be able to help me find a solution to the issue, however I was met with a response that was patronising, insulting and straight up derogatory. The player: 'rq' was able to provide an answer that was potentially more feasible, however I have been playing GMod since it's release and I have only experienced this issue while OnionRings was online. In addition to this, OnionRings logged out after a short while- during this grace period I did not encounter the black-screen bug.
In the middle of this, someone else decided to speak up against me. While I was doing a run on the "Autostrafe" style he brought out even more hackusations. Instantly, he accused me of using the same script that his friend was using. Which is completely untrue as I have not scripted on this server... or even within the last 5 years (which shall be cleared up later). These acts of
verbal abuse had no flesh behind them and were unable to conclusively provide any evidence of me cheating... other than his friend "uses this hack".
Finally.... OnionRings decided it was appropriate to bring up a ban that I had contracted in 2015.... 4 years ago. I find this sort of behaviour sickening... something that I had done 4 years ago on a completely different gamemode on a completely different server has been brought to the table to try and plot my demise. This act was nothing but childish.
To conclude, I feel insulted. NotATraitor and Lucky where the worst offenders in this situation. OnionRings wasn't particularly helpful and did compose some responses that perhaps weren't the best things that he could of done. I find it inappropriate that three members of staff ganged up against me, with little to no evidence. Additionally, this issue never met a resolution as I was not penalised nor received an apology so it was potentially something done sheerly for the entertainment of the three members in question. Hestia was the equivalent of a shit-stirrer in this situation, bringing up the fact that his friends cheats was completely unnecessary and provided no value to the accusations at hand.
