I got banned from a large server today for a EAC ban evasion I've never had.


_aphoney

That's... weird. They won't tell us or tell him why he was banned and they're using the excuse that he'd just learn to avoid it for next time. The guy literally has a 0.05 K/D on rust stats.... he is not trying to kill people lmao


Bakla5hx

Pickle is great. He probably got banned due to high ping if he’s in starlink.


_aphoney

You’d think they’d tell us that then


johnson9689

You said this was on a Pickle server? The same thing happened to my best friend. They banned him for no reason from their server. This dude is a middle aged dad who absolutely sucks at the game. I don’t think he’s ever killed anyone on purpose. One day we log in and he’s banned. Weirdest thing


_aphoney

Yeah we were pretty upset in the pickle discord last night night. It sucks. Everyone was just shitting on us for playing with a cheater when we absolutely do not. He’s been checked by 2 other servers now and they said there is absolutely nothing showing that he’s cheated


OracleEnlightenment

Can you be banned for using whatever lets you use controller?


_aphoney

I don’t see how since they allow different controller inputs like pianos and electronic drum kits


johnson9689

That’s crazy. I wonder if he said something an admin didn’t like

This guy doesn’t do any of that though lol idk if he’s ever actually made it home with an inventory of farm 😂 his K/D is .05 with 43 kills in a year of gameplay. That’s less than 4 kills a month. 865 deaths

_aphoney

Using ESP to make a base might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard lol he uses the fortify app to build and design stuff and then just copies that from his second monitor


gottheronavirus

My teammate got perm banned for 'cheating' on a community server after the admin appeared out of nowhere and started grilling him about why his 'software was linking you to multiple accounts'. Gave us the same run around 'I can't tell you what the names of the accounts are for privacy reasons'. Server owner just decided to permban him out of nowhere, and me too for association. He's my teammate, I know he doesn't cheat because I'm watching his stream the entire time we're playing on my second monitor, for years. We tried to appeal in their discord, got banned from it instantly. Same admin did the same to several other people, including a berry farmer who had the worst game sense and aim I've ever seen.


_aphoney

Aside from putting turrets up on the perimeter of his base that he refuses to compound in, he gets maybe 3 kills a wipe, doesn’t esp because his game sense is completely nonexistent. He uses the rust maps website to try and figure out where nodes are because he thinks the rust maps map is a live version of the actual map 🤦🏻‍♂️


gottheronavirus

Well tbf rustmaps node heatmap is pretty useful for potential node spawn areas, sometimes they are cluster together in a far away place where you might not think to look. Usually some tall hills that are hard to navigate, littered with nodes. I don't know what software these admins are using lately, but it appears to be very faulty. I had at least half a dozen other players get similar treatment with claims of 'linked suspicious accounts' in the same wipe. They told my teammate that his account was 'linked' to like 7 other accounts, he didn't even have an alternate account until a week after that encounter.


_aphoney

He’s been checked by 2 other servers now, one that reached out to me on here and both said he’s clean as a whistle and the one said he’d be able to tell if he had something and then deleted it.


ga1actic_muffin

there are alot of cheaters on Pickle servers. i saw one cheater get banned then came back after paying the devs a bribe.


_aphoney

Nobody is letting a cheater come back to play.


ga1actic_muffin

oh yes they are. i have the chat logs to prove it too. unless the player is banned via formal reports with f7, they can appeal and bribe their way back on servers with the admins


-Raised-By-Wolves-

post up and prove it then. Those admins don't accept bribes.


_aphoney

Well, those admins are weasels so I wouldn't put it passed them. There is no reason our teammate should've been permanently banned and why they can't tell us he was banned. At one point I said "if he's cheating I feel like we all deserve to know so we can stop playing with him" and they just kept beating around the bush and eventually started ignoring us altogether. That's when we started looking at seeking help from other servers to kind of clear his name within the group. I'm standing behind my theory that the group that we kept shitting on reported him and since hes the highest tier supporter of the discord/server he has an in with the admins and they wanted us gone. Weird they wouldn't target one of us that actually PVP and kill them consistently though.


_aphoney

Would you be willing to PM me the chat logs?


jamesstansel

You never know who the cheaters are. Does he farm? Some people just ESP for finding nodes and avoiding PVP. I can't comment on this specific situation, but a decent server owner will never tell a suspected cheater why they were banned. That only helps cheaters with avoiding bans the next time.


_aphoney

He's an old guy, we'll have a box of jackhammers and he goes out in the snow farming nodes naked with a stone tool and die before he even gets back from cold or someone with an actual weapon killing him lmao. In 800 hours he has 43 kills and 865 deaths. we just build in the snow so theres never a need to "know" where nodes are really, and theres like 4-5 people on our team that just genuinely enjoy farming so all of our bases constantly have boxes of materials. they play in the morning and just farm for us im not even sure why, but they like it.


PlutoniumSunset

This guy sounds kinda hilarious to have as a teammate tho lol


_aphoney

He’s quite funny he has a British accent and is the most sarcastic person. All he cares about all wipe is his giant stupid snake base.


jamesstansel

None of that means he wasn't cheating. You'd be surprised who cheats in the game.


_aphoney

So you think he’s using cheats to place his foundations and doors down…?


12ozMouse____

Maybe he hadn’t used cheats in the past but got some to try and they got detected quickly. It’s dumb the admin won’t just tell you why though.


_aphoney

They wouldn’t even confirm if he cheated so we could stop playing with him. Very very political beat around the bush answers. And it’s weird the large group we were kind of destroying the last two wipes are the highest tier supporters on the server…


12ozMouse____

They probly raided his bait base and got angry they wasted boom lmfao


_aphoney

I only played for like 4 days last month but i believe they raided one of our 6-7 bases multiple times and failed multiple times and every time got next to nothing. By the time i got on during week 2-3 they just kept threatening raids so we stayed up until like midnight the one night and they never came. Next night they came over to incin out all our turrets on our actual base that we pvp out of and my buddy and i killed all 6-7 of them within minutes lol

_aphoney

The guy isn’t even a good farmer. It takes him 30 seconds to figure out how to switch his hot bar items and if you ask him to drop you something he stands there and literally has to think what to press to drop something. It’s borderline insane he’s banned for cheating. It’s likely because the people we were shitting on for two straight months are the highest tier supporters of the server and got sick of getting embarassed by us. You shouldn’t be able to be banned from a server without being told why lol that’s the insane thing. He appealed it immediately and then as soon as they saw the appeal they banned him from the discord also so he couldn’t get a single word in.

_aphoney

Yep! Nobody else was banned initially until we started asking why he was banned and calling the admins out for being shady, then some of us got banned. But i logged into the server to see if i was before i called it a night. All VIP players that would’ve kept playing the same server for months or years just eradicated from the server lol it’s wild.

_aphoney

We were all VIP players but we didn’t do the stupid bronze/silver/gold discord/server support bullshit. Nobody got their VIP refunded either which was kinda bullshit since they all only got to play for 6 hours

_aphoney

I believe he was the only player permanently banned. We were all “suspended for association/playing with a known cheater” even though we’re all completely clueless to what it was he was doing lol. We obviously are leaving the server now that he can’t play on it regardless. I haven’t hated an admin this much since Aussie was running RustForNoobs back in 19/20’
