This, above all.

1. Having an admin(s) banned for hacking doesn't build any trust, and generally isn't good for business.

2. We have really good admins. Hackers may come on our server, but they don't last very long. BF3 is MUCH tougher to admin (thanks to not having the ability to easily spec a player), so it may take a little longer to confirm (we want to be absolutely sure that the person is hacking, and not just a Gato/Brass level player). We don't just ban on the player's score....we do due diligence to be able to stand behind the bans we make, so as not to falsely accuse anyone. I know our admins are constantly watching, and do a pretty damn good job.

3. We have solid regs who also act as watchdogs. Not much gets by you guys without some commentary. You all know that if you ask for an admin in-game, you will get a response. Teamwork and communication, and we all police our little sandbox together.

Couldn't have said it any better then that.

Only a sorry ass player needs a hack. If the server was easier to play on we would have more hackers then we get. They dont seem to like getting their ass handed to them by a reg while their hacking.

Hackers are trash as far as I am concerned. It's disappointing that it is so easy to do. I have to think it is incredibly boring to be a hacker …

The only solace from that article for me was the following"

reasonably good person (250~ spm or above)

Sooo ... I only suck a little bit.

I don't know how anyone can follow that tiny little chicken scratch that "passes" for text. I'm usually too busy trying to stay alive or meeting an objective to notice it! I can remember the first time I was on the BF3 server, I didn't even know how to join a squad ... I was like "crap ... gotta get in a squad ASAP!" ... I figured there was some kind of text so I typed it in and sure enough one of our regs clued me in ... Embarassing, but then I was only a private. Honestly I didn't have a clue how to pull up a squad menu ... sad.

It's not easy. Some rounds I can pay attention to it. Some rounds, not so much. Now imagine that the admins are supposed to follow everything in chat, everything happening on their team and everything happening on the other team. Make me frigging dizzy.

It's soooooooooooooooo satisfying to knife a hacker and then each bag the body. Used to go hunting for.them back in the day with an old roommate.

It just burns my ass that this game has become so easy to hack yet it omits simple admin tools like spec'ing players let alone more advanced tools which are obviously needed.

Who needs admins when you have PB? Amirite? Bazinga!

PB only works for so long until hackers get smart and use a hack to outwit the system..

I'm a hacker, and I have some information for the community. AMA. : battlefield3

Good read, thanks for the link.
