I remember playing one server where an exploiter banned a different exploiter, but then the guy he banned joined under a new account and rekt the baseplate.

There isnt much we can do unless we go Paid Access, Which I would prefer not to do.

Hackers actually cannot ban players, Banning would require a hacker to change the game permanently, They can only Control 1 server, They can kick people, Even ban them on that server, But they won't be banned from any of the other servers since the script they used to ban them doesn't exist on those servers.

Don't worry, we're all completely and utterly powerless and the only thing we can do is hope that a massive, overly greedy company gets around to patching the exploit that is fixed with FilteringEnabled anyway. It's all going to be fine :D Filtering doesn't fix the worse of the exploits, And the removal of loadstring? Hasn't happened yet but even now many hacks have stopped relying on it.

Lately has been extraordinary though, Many lvl 7 hacks have been leaked, 3 in a Close succesion to be precise, The latest about 4 Days ago.

In any case admins wouldn't help against a hacker with lvl 7, They actually have more Power than the admins, They can't be kicked, They can't be banned (Atleast if they know what they are doing) and they can Control the whole workspace, Even delete scripts or add new ones.

However admins would help against CE exploiters that use simple and basic hacks, Like speedhacking, Damage hacking, God hacking and such. Because they can't do anything beyond affecting their own player locally, And most of such hackers use their Main accounts, banning them will make a difference.

However CE hackers seem quite insignificant in this context, But do recall that it's the lvl 7 hacks that get patched, No CE hack as ever been really.
