    Make the banhammer more lenient and for a shorter time.
    - On MCPVP the first autoban was 10 minutes, second 20 min, and so on
    - There weren't this many cases of false autobans on MCPVP. As stated, make it more lenient
    (e.g. Forcefield will only ban those who hit the flying person behind everytime.)

    Moderators:
    I don't know if this is true, but I heard quite a lot of MCPVPers were banned on Brawl by mods who thought they were hacking, and don't have a forums account to appeal. Many MCPVPers are REALLY good at PVP, as in they may seem like they're hacking, but it's just their amazing aim. Or refilling. Some people refill with a technique called mouse-abusing, where it looks like macros. Anyway, here are some tips on how to check if someone is using a specific hack:

    Forcefield:
    - Spawn zombies behind the player. If he hits it straight away, he's using ff. Or:
    - Get out of admin mode right behind the player. If he kills you straight away, he's hacking

    Anti-kb:
    - First listen if he's the Anchor kit on HG (will have an anvil sound)
    - Throw snowballs at said player. If he doesn't move, he's hacking. This hack is quite obvious though

    Speed hacks/Fly hacks/Autosoup:
    Too easy

    ANY HACK I MISSED OUT?

    Kill Aura: Instantly auto-hits you from roughly an 8 block radius.
    Fast Bow: Is basically the title it's a fast bow...
    Bow-Aimbot: Auto-Aims at the closes player to you.

    There are way more than what we have stated though.

    All methods described except for the last one with snowballs are already being used. NoKnockback isn't hard to detect, just hitting the player with your fist should work fine (and you don't always have snowballs).

    We are aware that Autobans are not fully accurate right now, ThaRedstoner is constantly working on improving them.

    Also, you do not need a forums account to appeal a ban. You can just email [email protected].

    Yeah, I really hope Redstoner fixes BAC soon. Its been broken for a while, and there's nothing worse than being banned for 12 hours when you've done nothing wrong.

    The auto ban is still fairly accurate, when it comes to detecting actual hackers. The problem just comes from lag and some invalid detections. If anything the auto ban could be shortened for the time being (possibly halved or quartered).

    You can also make a guest account of just email [email protected] if you ever need to make an appeal without a forums account.

    Fairly not greatly ... I don't want to get banned again for freezing

    Thats just a pvp hacks WarZ/war has a lot of hack.... Timer, blink, ff, god mode, etc. But theres also the most common one that like everyones uses.. Xray its EXTREMELY hard to catch someone using it even tho is obvious but the mod/smods like to have a **** ton of proof to ban a player.

    Frozen in air? I walked up to a door and got banned. And I got banned once because I destroyed a crafting table and walked away. :/
