I've seen console ban a few people just for having cheats on their machine, regardless whether they were using them or not
yes, but console does miss ALOT of potential hack files. I guarantee I can get a few, put them in my q2 folder, use them or not, and still not be found out. an old hack that still works I think is the quake2 ID hack, where it allows access to your orginal q2 client via packet spoof from id softwares old IP address.
I don't blame the admins for banning people, even if they aren't using the hacks they have in their q2 folder
...people change to firing fov to 35 degrees so they are less detectable...
