IF any of you kept up to date with forum rules and have been active for a while here, you would know there have been several cases of people making unban requests and the admin who made the ban then saying "oh it wass obvious wallhack/speedhack/aimbot so i didnt record"
What are we supposed to do in this case? People make mistakes, this is an online community for fun and we need to be fair, unfortunately there are cases where we accept admins who are either not completely capable and make mistakes judging a player, or abuse their powers/flame and ban for the wrong reasons. SO we can't just "trust" every admin who says this.
I repeat again: ALWAYS RECORD A DEMO!
Even if its damn obvious - all this means is that your demo will be 10 seconds long, because thats as long as you need for such an obvious cheater. If you don't have the patience and presence of mind to stay cool and wait an extra 10 seconds to get a demo then you shouldn't be an admin.
Two of the most important qualities we look for in admins are Patience, and Respect (for all players - or at least the decency to remain civil in your interactions).
No excuses please. If you want to take the risk and ban without demo's for obvious cheaters then go ahead, but the one time they decide to make an unban request and you don't have a demo for this reason, you need to face the consequences for the risk you took.
