People like Skyline were never the problem. There are tons of people who cheated back in the day that still play and don't cause any issues. His problem was that he would spend hours calling people the n word and accusing others of cheating with no evidence and that went away when he was muted.
The real problem is that nobody who is in charge actually plays the game so they're just banking on the idea that someone will just reach out if there's a problem, but since nobody plays and there's no clear rules, everyone just assumes it's a free-for-all. The only people who actually speak up are people who are pretty much at their limit. Everyone is basically free to throw around cheating allegations and spam "fag" or "bot" for hours with no consequence. I would say I'm too old for this crap but I've found most of the people who do this are in their 40s.
Since there's no one around to tell them they're being paranoid, other people pick up on that and start to believe that the only reason they're losing is because someone else must be cheating, so they pick up an aimbot or a wallhack to try and make things more even in their mind. Every single person here that actually does know how to play this game is severely underestimating how ignorant your average DM player is and how much of a problem that's become compared to 15 years ago.
Just throw it all away and start over, man. This is a GAME. We need more people like Elysium in the drivers seat who are actually passionate about preserving the authentic Quake 2 deathmatch experience and less people who treat this game as a substrate for releasing whatever political bile they have pent up in their psyche.

And so I return, its been all too long ! Life has had quite a bit for me to focus on over years and much has changed, but one thing time will never change is the love I have for Quake II and all its memories. The time for a comeback is nigh!
Rock On
