Cheating for ethical purposes when no administration online

[MrTony]

I still don't know why Argonath's security isn't stronger. I'm not gonna name names, but I've seen automated anti-hacking measures at work on other servers.

[Devin]

No automated anti-hacking measures will be 100% reliable which is why we don't have an automated ban system in place.

Can't be kick only?

Make a kicker that is more kicky then?

[Kostas]

Well I dont know what timezone you play on Vaeldious. But on the hours I play on, even if an admin isn't online, people are usually able to contact someone.

Give trustworthy players the ability to only kick the hacker when no moderators/admins are present to ban them.

By trustworthy I mean players that have been here for a very long time. So the criteria may be you must be playing for over 5 years to be considered for the role.

That's just wrong, everyone can be trusted if they show they are capable and trustworthy however i don't think that you will ever see it happening.
To be honest whenever i check the server there is most of times a moderator or an admin+ , the recent wave aimed at this particular issue where admins couldn't come online because of different timezone.
A hacker is not the end of world, they will get bored if you don't give them much importance. I still remember when together with cops we started to kill someone with fly hacks dming in Ganton. Its been a while and luckily i don't have to do that anymore to roleplay in peace.

If they were that active and trustworthy, they'd probably already be in the admin team. 

Also, how long you're playing doesn't really say anything about how trustworthy you are.

Yes, it's not necessary Ban I think automated-kick might solve this problem

You are aware that there is a group of people called the administration, right? Moderators, administrators, managers, leaders. All trustworthy people that are hired to do exactly what you describe.

Nope. Just nope. No explanation needed for such an illogical statement.

We could easily do automated anti-hack, it's just we don't trust it. In those other servers you deal with false positives on a persistent basis. Trust me I've work with a server with automated anti-hack. We optionally don't do it.

[Mikal]

I think the simplest solution is to try to get moderators/admins around the times in which the server is dead, find decent players who can do such a job in those timezones, I don't even think this is a major problem though TBH.

The only issue I see right now with the server is that Mikal isn't mapper

To my knowledge Mikal hasn't even applied. Can't be a mapper without an application.
