Horntail Eats Hackers - Harrisonized - 2009-02-01
KajitiSouls Wrote:If this is to work, then the public had better start seeing a decline in h4x0rz. Otherwise they'll just get negative vibes and the people's confidence in law enforcement will be broken.Actually, in Scania, there was ALWAYS a decline in hackers WHEN the GMs were on. That's because as soon as the blue messages pop up, half the hackers log off. The other half who continued hacking were banned. So by the time the GM got off, the hackers had pretty much disappeared, and it isn't until hours later that they start slowly reappearing again. Although this isn't a long term solution, it alleviates the problem a bit and any alleviation restores a bit of confidence.
If they were consistent in their blue text instead of typing them at random intervals, people wouldn't say GMs don't exist. I saw a hacker called "CantGetBan" and it annoys me that he was following me around and KSing me witih nodelay.

Heck, they even relisted a few names in several notices. Not saying I blame them, but it's mostly a psychological game using the blue notices.They rarely repeated the names but people started b!tching because right after one of those huge wall of blue texts, someone would smega that ____ got false ban.
It's not a psychological game, it's merely informing people that there is progress. Because working as a ghost isn't working and you know it's not...

^---- I don't really believe in people saying they got falsely banned. Quite a few times when people claimed they were falsely banned, NXJoe links a youtube video of catching the person in the act. Also, if one DID get falsely banned, it's usually because they were taking advantage of a hacked mob while the hacker is still on the map (but I don't think it'd be a permanent ban).
