The current policy is the best and most efficient system we could have in order to maintain our communities ethos and values. In response to a few of your points: Admins will never be able to punish someone for hacking. We cannot ban people left right and center based on blatantly edited videos like the one you sent. Thirdly we are fully aware that the anticheat can be bypassed hence why there is a system in place to combat this.
The current policy has been debated and discussed many times in the community team meeting and it hasn't changed in a long time. Again this is due to the fact that it works very well with our ethos and values, of innocent until proven guilty and giving people a chance to improve. I am however more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

Really, REALLY stupid, pointless and unreasonable in my opinion but whatever, not my community.
Fine, don't change them if you don't want, but at least cut some lose ends - Nowhere, for the current resources provided to admins OR MODS is it stated that they aren't supposed to handle hackers.
I would :
1. In the given resources and policies to admins AND MODS, clearly state that they are NOT supposed to handle hackers (it's fucking heartbreaking to write that, you have no idea) and that they can handle all rule-breakers EXCEPT hackers, who should be passed onto Lead-Team members in order to be handled.
2. I'd take this into big consideration if I was you - Allow Admins to use Anti-Cheat, for the following benefits:
- -Currently, from what I've heard, admins aren't allowed to use the anti-cheat because you can tell who the traitors are and who aren't, This to me, is extremely stupid, as you can already find out who the traitors are and aren't, by different means - using the F8 menu, which even MODS can use to determine who's a T and who's not) OR, Use a spectator. This issue is unrelated to the Anti-Cheat issue as it is with quality of staff issue, most staff just ignore if they accidentally catch who's the T and who's not, whilst some could be quietly acting upon those actions. Corrupt staff will be corrupt and do corrupt things, that's bound to happen, bound for people to be punished unfairly. There's not much to change that, however, the easiest way to combat this would mean that whilst one admin is in Anti-cheat, other staff members currently on should just make sure that they don't go back to living in the same round. If they do, report that to a LT member.
(I then stopped writing the benefits to implementing AC for Admins, as it won't get accepted. No need to run my mouth when fuck all will happen. Sadly, I've done that over a dozen times in my time of staffing)
The main issue I'm having is people who don't even hide the fact that they hack. I can't handle those cases. People who spinbot, spam the server with advertisements to hacking websites, wipe out the server clean, advertise their hacks in reports. I can't handle cases like those. I have to let the server suffer, and just watch, which is heartbreaking as a staff member.
I've tried applying to Lead Team roles not to sit in Teamspeak doing fuck all, but actually using my powers on the server because currently, LT aren't as active as some admins, that's obvious. (Speaking of which, please add a requirement or something similar for LT applications to have Team-Speak activity.
As for the "innocent until proven guilty" thing, again, that shit don't fly, don't be serious. I've stated before, I've made 3 offricial appeals for warns and a few unofficial, all of which were lifted. I've been innocent in all cases, yet I got the punishment, come on now.
The hacking policy states that they can only be punished based on anticheat detection or evidence voted to be conclusive in the Lead Team meeting, which only Lead Team can do.
We do look for Teamspeak activity in Lead Team apps, dud to the fact that LT need to communicate with people, and they all get Teamspeak Staff as well.
Innocent until proven guilty is one of the key staffing points of ZARP bud, and it is something we enforce strongly. When staff don't abide by it, they are dealt with approproately.
Admins are
never getting access to anticheat commands, due to privacy reasons.
Ty for putting long posts in spoilers, most, including me, don't usually do it but it's cool when someone does do it.
As for your point about the hacking policy - Yeah, I know, and I think it's bad lmao.
As for your point about "Innocent until proven guilty", the "dealt with appropriately" part is shit, again, Zarp is overly lenient and give "punishments" that are comparable to "naughty boy don't do this again".As for it applying in the case of my proposal, it wouldn't change that, it would simply equalise the current rule-handling policies with the current one, because LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, I was handled with GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, and not the other way around, however you put that shit on this proposal for 0 reason. Those cases happened to me over 4 times and it definitely doesn't give me the message of Innocent until proven guilty.
AGAIN, Not my community, yours is, but it's a stupid system filled with grey areas that can be exploited easily.
