so if i use hone i get banned?
Based on the anti-cheat logs from multiple, separate instances on the day you were banned, you triggered many anticheat violations that are reliable checks for cheating.
On Loka, we always conduct screenshares, even when the anti-cheat logs would be reason enough to ban someone. This is to provide the user with an avenue where they can prove their innocence, even when the logs show them to be blatantly cheating. If, during that screenshare, the user alters their system to compromise, obfuscate, inhibit, or generally degrade the screenshare, we will act on evidence we have and presume the anti-SS tactics as further proof of cheating. An inability on our end to screenshare is not proof of innocence, and in cases where our SSers have had issues on our end, we have not banned players because “we” couldn’t figure it out. We know when a SS is being tampered with.
In this case, among other services, you had both SysMain and DiagTrack fully disabled. SysMain is a service explicitly aimed at improving performance; an optimizer disabling this would be counterproductive. Other system features were also non-functional: recent files, background activity monitor, and USN Journal.
These services were also not disabled all at once, but at different times, further pointing towards you manually disabling them to hinder the screenshare process rather than a cleaner or optimizer disabling them all at once.
Illegal mods were also found in your instance, although they were not used as the reason to ban you, because they do not track with our detected anticheat violations. Among these mods were “Marlow crystal optimizer” and “Dokko’s hotbar optimizer.” You fail to mention this in your appeal, but this was discussed during the screenshare. The mod description of “Dokko’s hotbar optimizer” explicitly states it improves gameplay and has a disclaimer stating, “This mod may be detected as a cheat by some anti-cheats.” This mod alone would have been grounds for a permanent ban.
The following findings were not factored into the decision to ban you, but are relevant for context. There were traces of prior Meteor client usage in your Loka instance, as well as recent usage of Doomsday. We have no evidence that you were using these on Loka, but they had been used recently, conflating with the time of you disabling system services which leads credence to the disabling of these services being an intentional act to prevent you from being caught cheating on Loka or other servers.
It’s a poor suggestion that rendering a SS impossible should grant you some level of leniency. As stated, we know when a SS is being tampered with. Even with some of the proposed changes to the rules, the outcome would have been the same, based on the evidence, and behavior during the SS. The ban will remain.
