Fool, thank you for dealing with this so quickly.
For anyone who is angry with me for the ban, please note that (a) I never asked for a ban, but wanted only to show others just a tidbit of what I have witnessed first-hand to determine if they agree with me about Chronvict's wallhacks; (b) it was Chronvict's own rude behavior that ultimately led to the ban, not mine; and © when I heard about the ban, I specifically said that his attitude did not warrant a ban.
I understand my post is the catalyst to his ban, but there are too many intervening actors (including Chronvict and his own nasty response) for this blame to be placed squarely on me. I was only trying to expose, embarrass and deter this kind of behavior.
Also, for all the skilled veterans who play fairly and have been frequently been (wrongly) accused of cheating, it's only natural that you would assume my accusations are also baseless and that your friend Chronvict would never cheat. But before you mistake me for some noob who's upset about getting one too many head-shots, please note that, besides Banksy, Chronvict is the only person I have ever accused of hacking in over 200 hours on the server. Moreover, I only made this accusation after weeks of suspicion, almost 100 hours of in-game experience playing with Chronvict (often behind him as his medic), a lot of investigating as a spectator, and after soliciting feedback on this video from at least a dozen mutual friends... only then did I feel like posting this publicly to see if anyone else saw the same thing I was seeing.
IMO, my accusation was neither hasty nor irresponsible. I understand if you disagree with my conclusions, but please don't fault me for having a reasonable opinion based on my experience in the game. I know of no one more obsessed with their rank, place and k/d ratio that Chronvict, and I think it's a strong incentive for him to use a rather mild hack to boost his game to the next level. A lot of people still think that Mark Maguire never used the Clear, and like sports doping cases, maybe there is no definitive resolution to this, but I'm going to call this the way I see it.
