kKaltUuDanceNumbertycho only got a 1 week create lobby ban.
sometimes these admins make strange choices
Player was banned for hosting a non-VAC lobby. I agree that that should be about a week lobby create.
Anyway, the tycho guy is:

Any evidence of either of these accounts cheating on center would be appreciated.
ProSkeezI don't know if any of you guys remember Sun/Moon from a couple months back, but I stumbled across his profile and it seems that he was VAC'd hahaha.

Was caught by us a while ago.
I would encourage everyone in this thread that thinks someone is cheating in a lobby to submit a ban requests with proper evidence to us: http://forums.tf2center.com/forms/5-request-a-ban/
Unless a player is blatantly using trigger/aimbot and hitting 100% headshots, I'm not going to apply a ban based on a lobby link. Provide a demo and some ticks and we'll take a look.
A while ago I started setting up AC measures on center, which is harder than it sounds (hence the emphasis on supplying demos). Since I work at ETF2L we naturally have a close relationship with their competent AC team. Players getting caught at TF2Center and TF2Pickup will be reported to ETF2L and vice versa.
We're trying to do the same with UGC but sadly they don't have a dedicated AC staff, which is weird because the volume of NA players reported is way higher. For the moment I just send messages to various UGC league admins and hope they do something with it.
I'm pretty sure the amount of cases will rise as soon as we open our ranked matchmaking system, so we're focussing on making cheating accusations a robust process. But it all stands or falls with the evidence provided, intricacy in the case review process and workload of our AC teams.
Hello, good to see an admin from TF2C in this thread. I've submitted several ban requests for hackers in the past week to TF2C, but I guess they are still awaiting review.
That is interesting that you are confirming that Tycho = Thundah, and I am not surprised.
I gathered some data and would like you to take a look at the graph I made. I sourced my data from the last 10 logs.tf lobbies from Tycho and Thundah. I only chose lobbies which they both played sniper in, and lobbies which actually had accuracy stats, and discarded any of the stats with a damage sample size of ~<750.

Tycho's average accuracy 59.7%
Thundah's average accuracy 29.4%
So if Tycho is Thundah's alt, then the accuracy is almost exactly doubled based on the 10 lobby sample group. I think pretty much everyone will agree that Tycho's accuracy is far to high for him to be legit. And that it appears to be an alt of Thundah's, suggests that he decided to make an alt strictly for lobby cheating purposes.
If you require further evidence, I would be happy to review some demo's of Tycho and report tick numbers that are bs. Also please let me know if you will be handling the ban yourself, or if you would like me to submit a ban request on center for Tycho.
DanceNumberI think the biggest way to help AC would be to make sure your servers are recording STV for every game.
That and also, couple that with making sure you have logs.tf extended stats enabled.
For those of you booking serveme.tf servers, this is for some strange reason NOT enabled by default, but can be enabled via a simple rcon command: rcon tftrue_logs_accuracy 1
