Today we will talk about bans, so first of all I will ask you to read the community rules once again, especially the very first one:
READ. If you haven't read it, don't be surprised about your gag.
New bans on servers
As you may have noticed, our forum topic about bans has become very active over the past week. The reason is a new check, which concerns the so-called null script, which can release keys during strafes, saving players from overlaps, that is, simultaneous pressing of two strafe keys. Also, new keyboards with the snap tap function have a similar effect. According to our rules, the use of such scripts/functionality is prohibited, since it affects the physics of the game. Thus, all issued bans are correct, the records of all banned players will be removed in a few days, the next ban for them will be reclassified as permanent.
News on Kreedz.com about skArp and outside
Following the news on Cosy-Climbing, in which
skarp and
outside were banned for using cheats, there was a newspost on Kreedz.com, in which
skarp was removed from his position as the main demochecker, while the investigation against him is ongoing. Since
skarp is our demo checker as well, I also looked into the situation and requested information from the demo checkers of Kreedz.com. In the end, no specific evidence was provided, only the general direction, according to which I checked the demos of
skarp myself and did not find anything even remotely close to the stated reason for the ban. I will not give details here and below, since I keep the discussion of demochecking details exclusively within the specialized chats. I've already conveyed my position and arguments to the new head of Kreedz.com
poker.
According to
outside in the same newspost a check proposed by
skarp was mentioned, which, however, according to the post, will not be taken into account by their admins, since another check of
outside will soon take place with the personal participation of the former head of Kreedz.com
ShoCk. However, it would be appropriate to show a video of the check that was conducted the other day along with a comment from
skarp (again, at my request, without details on demochecking). This is also necessary because I have repeatedly received private messages with videos of suspicious mouse movements noticed in the demos of
outside, and this video also pays special attention to this issue. In the description on YouTube, you can download the demos recorded during the whole process. Regarding the ban of
outside in our community – in the democheckers' chat dedicated to this issue, I did not see any specific evidence of cheating. At the moment, the ban is based on private chats and the personal opinion of the majority of democheckers, which in my opinion should not be considered a sufficient reason for a ban on KZ-Rush. So, the video itself and the comment to it:
skarp:
Hello everyone, I’d like to clarify some things regarding the "outside" case.
To keep everything as transparent as possible and leave no questions, "outside" recorded the entire process from start to finish. He completely shut down his computer, started recording on his phone, and only then turned the PC back on. Everything that happened next was captured on video.
✅ After system boot:
- Launched OBS and started screen recording.
- Opened "services.msc" and showed all system services, scrolling through them to the end before closing it, to avoid any questions about "extra" processes or services running on his computer.
✅ Next:
- Completely reinstalled CS, saving his config separately to avoid any questions about unauthorized files in the game directory.
Launched GameGuard (client-side anticheat: https://gameguard.ac/) after installing a clean version of the game.
- Downloaded and added the go_fastrun and fastrun maps to CS in real-time.
✅ Gameplay process:
- Launched CS and joined the downloaded maps.
- Started recording a demo on each map and completed all jumps as usual (while maintaining the same movement patterns seen in his WR demos on Cosy-Climbing— in other words, his patterns matched those in his demos before his ban on Cosy-Climbing).
✅ Final stage:
- Closed CS and then GameGuard (everything recorded).
- Stopped OBS recording and finished the video.
⚡ Important:
- "outside" did not stop the phone recording until the very end, ensuring that everything was captured without any cuts or edits.
- Everything was done as openly as possible to eliminate any doubts.
- Also, a very important thing: GameGuard initially blocks scrolling with the mouse wheel, as it is prohibited in regular CS without any mods (KZ, HNS, etc.). Therefore, I asked the lead developer of this client-side anticheat to unlock this function "outside" so that it could be used for ducking on the mouse wheel, but only in New Game (LAN).
My opinion on this case remains the same — you all know it. I do not believe that "outside" cheated or used third-party programs in his demos.
