Played a little bit tonight and the server had some hackers on there. It sucks having 50 people just trying to duck and cover from infinite mortar fire as some guy pelts the entire level with rounds. I believe he had over 90 kills and one death at the end of a 5 minute round. Are there provisions for kicking hackers, like a vote or something? Maybe the server admins could give some premium members rights to kick so we can clean the servers?

Anyone else run into hackers yet?

Here is the hacker's battelog page:

EDIT:

Report him if you have the time go to his profile and click on the small triangle icon at the upper right hand side to report him.

I've run into just a handful. Always ruins a server in minutes. :(

I've run into a couple. I thought it might have taken a bit longer, but oh well. If Battlefield 3 doesn't make it to years' end without hackers becoming a huge issue, I'll probably throw-in the multiplayer towel, period. I'm getting sick of buying a game and having the multiplayer constantly ruined in the first 4-6 weeks by abusers. I just am. I have to put up with enough people abusing crap in real life, a video game is honestly the last place I want to see this crap.

So..pay to be a admin...right..that would work.

Why not write support a email and give them info. A link to stats and all that?

After a quick search I do not even think the GB guys own the server

http://www.giantbomb.com/battlefield-3/61-27006/the-giantbomb-battlefield-3-thread-pc/35-516404/#461

Seems http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/rolyatkcinmai/ Owns them.

I didn't know a way to make sure community members would be in given the permission. Premium members or people that contribute a lot to the site of course would be primary candidates I would think. I'm just throwing ideas out there. I know GB doesn't own the server. It is fan run. Obviously no admins were on tonight when I was playing.

Do they have a vote-to-kick system? I'm not too familiar with the BF3 servers. I wish they had in-game reporting mechanisms, but I don't quite know how they wouldn't be abused.

Yes, this guy was pretty ridiculous. Here is the guy's battlelog page. Look at his score/minute...

Rank 63!

I agree, we need more trusted admins for the server. One way or another.

We do have good admins for the server. The problem is they cannot be on at all times. Just send the guys name to Roly and hopefully he can do something about it.

I found a way to report his profile. I don't know what they would do, but if you have the time go to his profile and click on the small triangle icon at the upper right hand side to report him.

Yep, need quicker response for sure.

Besides hackers though, I'm getting really sick of the non-GB jerks that show up on the server. It seems like every time I log on at somewhat peak hours there are always one or two outspoken players that go crazy with the anger, racism, and mean-spiritedness. I don't want these guys in the server... Now, I'm not saying start kicking dudes for being impolite, but....

Actually, yeah, I am saying that. I don't know if that's something that ever happens with servers, as I've never been close to the back-end nor been on the other side of the boot, but these people are really starting to make the server a somewhat depressing and frustrating place to be.

You could just password the servers and have a thread with the password on the GB forums. Make it something super obvious like GLHB or Durgers or something. This will instantly get rid of about 95% of the undesirables.

@dandead: Well, yeah, that would definitely fix the problem. but it's a 64 player server... There's definitely a lot of duders in the platoons, but even so I'm not sure we could fill up a server just ourselves. We might be able to do alright for a while since the game just came out, but we would screw ourselves down the line when a lot of people stop playing.

Reported him. Everyone else should as well.

I already picked 6 people to be admins on both servers, we're working on giving them access to the right tools, they'll be available soon.

I'm pretty sure hack users will get their EA accounts banned this time around. That's at least 50$ down the crapper.

Yea I can't understand how people would hack on a game that is all about fun. What a waste of time.
