Idea Remove Anti-KB bans

Anti KB bans are very easy to detect. Knockback modifiers are quite a lot more difficult to detect, and as with all ghost client hacks, we go through a more rigorous process before banning players for knockback modifiers.

There are a lot of factors which determine how much knockback a player should be taking. When banning for knockback modifiers, we figure out how much knockback that player should be taking and compare it to the amount of knockback a player is actually taking. Once there is enough evidence for us to prove that a player is not taking a normal amount of knockback, they are banned.

As for the clip on Eil - you will usually take a very minimal amount of knockback when running towards the person dealing knockback. Knockback simply gives you momentum, and when you already have momentum in the other direction (as Eil did), it roughly counters out. Assuming the ban goes through the normal processes that ghost client bans go through, no-one should be banned for a similar clip. Let me know if you know of any bans where someone was banned for a similar clip and I will investigate.

 

How long ago was the ban made?

Assuming it's the one at the bottom - that was long before we started looking into ghost client bans more. Back then, any staff member could ban for ghost client hacks without letting any other staff member know, but now staff are required to bring up evidence in mod chat, so false bans happen less frequently now.

 

I don't have access to the video that you were banned from.
