Should Peoples Server use Punkbuster?

I said No
"When I hear the name "people server" I think the server should be available for everybody, both "newbs" and "experienced" players. thus no to both PB and PURE."
That is my opinion Winking So please don't hang me hehe

i kinda agree with The Death on some of his comments. Most people know (i.e all of K[] clan Winking hehe joke..) that you can buy or get cheats that are pb + pure proof. And since The Death was the one busted with manual work from torzelan he knows that PB did nothing to catch him. I also think that although pb is fantastic when it works, but its not always necessary when you have the same group of friends within the e+ community members mostly using public servers day to day. Unfortunately all it does in those cases is make people lag for no reason. So i'd say pure on and pb off with good admins ftw Smug

reno, the cheating death was never able to play on pb server, they turned pb and (i guess) pure off...

sorry, what i meant was that it was a pb init failure which is the gayest PB feature ever allowing cheaters to get away with it with a simple kick.

however, i was up to wrote something different, smth typical mowstyle like "how u can listen smo (TD) who is such patronizing and hypocritical", but hey, i am not an angel, except that i never betrayed smo in here.

So, here my points.

1. Everybody who has problems with pb-lag could recheck his systemsetup again, however, some probs of pb are just to redicolous, but every user is able to make it playable, smo with no work, some with less work and some need much work, the rest just dont care and play on non pb-servers.
2. Mona got a point.
3. To a comment of TD. To make all with admins is the same funny thing as to say that pb is perfect. U dont have 24/7 an admin on server, and pb doesnt catch each cheater, if server is pure or not. However, making an own cheat needs at least a bit coding skill, and not everyone in here is an coder, most cheaters are simply random cheaters, selling cheats is not a millionairs-business.

Finally, pb should be at least voteable, if a case is not very sure, but still suspicios, i guess some admins will be also mostly arround.

And also hey, dont make too much pressure on the admins, or u will lose more then renos server (since beer switched host i have 300 ping mostly (not always))! (Anyway i speak about other admins, not about me, i cant be hurt anymore).

Ye, mow has a point. For admins/refs atm I'm just trying to "recruit" active players who can be around when needed. Yes pb has issues.. & yes it doesn't catch everything.

What would everyone think if we leave pb OFF.. but voteable? I think that's probably the best suggestion so far, and would keep everyone happy. What do u guys think?
