www117.zippyshare.com/v/uDnKb1jp/file.html and a link to his steam profile where you can see he has multiple vac bans steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198295817929

He really deserves the ban

Been trying to get this guy banned fora while we all have, but every time a staff comes on he leaves either just before or as soon as one joins

As hacking policy states, we have to vote upon whether or not the user was using aimbot during the meeting.

Can I also ask that you upload videos to YouTube rather than an unknown website that we have to download the video for.

I can't even watch the video due to it being a .dem file and I don't have programs to support that file type

well I mean it's not an unknown file type. It's what Source uses to record as standard. You put it into your source/gmod folder and then open it via the gmod console with the command "playdemo nubs" and it will play via ingame.
I don't have a youtube account to upload. Nor do I see anywhere it states I HAVE to upload anywhere else, it does say on your Ban request template "You must have evidence in your ban request. This include Pictures, Demos/Videos" .dem is a .demo file extension which is exactly what's asked for in the post.
I'd assume you'd know that as it's pretty standard.. But just to save you a bit of time and Effort Cranky. Here. I've made a youtube account, converted the .demo file to a .avi and uploaded it to youtube just to save you 5 minutes of your time just because you don't know what a .demo is and how to open it. It's currently uploading but will take 2 hours.
If another mod/ admin who knows how to open and view .demo file could view the footage before this is done uploading to save me two hours then that would be amazing. If not please bare with me while this uploads to youtube....

Oh also excuse the .errors, for whatever reason when recording a demo that's being viewed via frap it's not allowing the custom skins to show. Oh and one last thing if you need extra confirmation. Whidd, Fake and lovelynicole were all present. but bare with me for now while this is uploaded to youtube.

Well due to the fact I was never told this nor was I shown how to view .dem files how was I meant to know?

You can't say to me that it's a standard requirement/acknowledgement that I have to know what to do with .dem files because everyone else has used plays.tv or YouTube to provide their evidence in relevant situations.

Regarding you "having" to make a YT video I never said it was a major requirement, I only asked you to do so because it's a standard thing users report with.

Also witnesses can't count as they are not valid evidence (sorry but it's our hacking policy).

As well as that the report abuse guide is almost 4 years old so .dem files aren't common these days

Does seem to enjoy having more and more VAC-bans on his account(s). If someone cheats again after one ban, they're careless when it comes to fair gaming.

Get him.

Ignorance is no excuse, a simple 5 minute google would of shown you how to view it. There's even selections to view them on the main Gmod menu but it's no problem the video is currently 19% uploaded for you.

it's obviously a major requirement as you are "unable" to view the demo, so clearly I have to provide other means just to allow you to view the video. Even in the time it has taken you to type up your reply, You could of downloaded the .dem, placed it into your demos folder located in the garrysmod folder. Opened up the ingame console. and typed "playdemo nub" or you could of clicked on the selection on the garrysmod main menu and you would be viewing the video. But like I said. It's no problem, the video is being uploaded and is at 20% as we speak, should be ready in an hour or so.

Also the reason I mention the witnesses isn't as extra evidence. It's to clarify who is saying what over the mic as you cannot see who was talking at that moment you can only hear them.

Then surely you should be asking for the template to be updated and "demo" files to be removed from it?. Once again ignorance is no excuse especially as a superadmin.

I'm not going to argue with you about a guy who is literally killing your server. Server was left with 4-6 people for most of the night after this guy was finished having his fun. I don't care I can go to another server. One would assume the "super"admins would be a bit more worried and on the ball if they knew what was happening to their server, but then again I rarely actually see any mods or admins on and it's only for a brief period of time.
If you wish to argue with me about the fact that you should know how the base things of gmod and source works if you're a super admin, then please do it via message on the forums, steam, or a new topic. If not then let's leave this post to what it is, A Ban request for someone ruining your server. Not a topic for excuses as to why you can't view a .demo folder.

The video is currently at 24%.

Kind regards,
HeavyFloater

I've got to give ya credit
The evidence is surprisingly clear, at least it's for me
And Holy cr** converting that shit takes ages.

.dem files are commonly used and are completely valid evidence for people to report users with.

I'm not saying they aren't valid, I just rarely see a .dem file being used as evidence nor was I ever told during any of my training that .dem files would be used or how to view them.

EDIT: My deepest gratitude goes to Anna & Akemi cause they've converted the video for me (again I was unaware nor told of .dem files - I didn't make the report guide so I wouldn't know), I will review the video but with Anna telling me that the guy is definitely using hacks I will forward it to a community manager to see if we can speed up the process of getting this user banned.

Then perhaps you could of asked your trainer why there is something called "demos" and how to view them. In the time it has taken you to reply you could of googled it and found everything you need to know. No more excuses now please. View the file and hand out the appropriate punishment.


Edit: Much obliged.
Me and a few others will remain vigilant for if this guy pops up with other accounts and hopefully we can get all of them off of your servers.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Last edit: Does this mean I can cancel the youtube upload?

Yes you can cancel the YT video

My job is done, for those who don't wanna watch it all, 3min 45sec

we will vote on this in the leadteam meeting friday

We've reviewed the video proof, and we've agreed that this is valid evidence.
I will deal with the player ASAP, thanks for the report!
