Official Server.. How to remove hackers ?

I believe you analysis of the current situation to be correct. You can do nothing while set to Official and it's very hard to get people on while it's set to Ranked.

I would suggest leaving your feedback about this on the Battlelog forums.

Thats fine and Dandy.. but while its on Ranked there is no traffic.. on Official we fill up fairly quick..

Official servers need a proper way to get Hackers removed... ive been rather sick today.. had the server on Official.. looked on Procon the same hacker that was terrorising my server yesterday was back on.. chatting in Admin chat and Invisible skin... we reported him quite a few times yesterday

Well since no official way has been provided.. ive written a plugin for Procon

When a known hacker GUID is connecting the server automatically restarts... not great.. but with Official mode on the server fills up (15-30mins).. on Ranked the server can go days without traffic...

Is procon for pb bans or some community list?   I don't like either but i wonder if pb is the cause of my chat spikes lag in bf3   and black screen flashing in bc2.    and lag at the start or especially right at the end of bf3 matches.

all these years i've always supported pb.  and thought anyone against it was a hacker.   But now I see that quake got rid of it a year or two ago,  and now mw3 got rid of it.  Who i see the top ranked guy was a famous rich criminal hacker on xbox hahaha.  I've been laughing about that for a week now.

I don't think it really stops anything and probably does more harm then good,  driving away legitplayers.   I can't believe its this bad even on the consoles,  I'm behind the times wow.


There are lot of myths out there.  I always feel I shoul name some.  One is,  The more players a game has,  whether free or not,  means cheaters are less of a problem.   I still believe anyone who says otherwise.  is a selfish bot.   THe two weeks BF3 had thousands of players cause the game was free,  was the best time i had playing video games in 10 years.  The fact it only lasted two weeks before thousands of players got cleared out by a few cheaters and trolls and badmins is astonishing. 

So, hackers can basicly ruin the server just  by the act of joining it now? Seems like something that could be easily misused :/ 

Well the hacker attempts to join and the server just restarts... the Hacker doesnt know why the server is not there anymore.. all they see is

"Cannot join server it is not there anymore"

since using this solution i have only had him attempt to join twice and its been days with no hacker problem now (we only had 1 hacker annoy us)
