So basically, what your saying is, because I refuse to run RenGuard, because I like my populated server most of the day, that i'm a n00b? I tell you this. I don't take kind to cheats and cheaters. It was only yesterday when I banned another cheater from my server.

It's true, RenGuard does generally de-populate servers. Most people don't want to download RenGuard, most people don't trust it, most people just don't want it. I run it everytime I play Renegade, it doesn't mean to say that I play in RenGuard servers. Infact, most of the servers I play in don't run RenGuard! Only The Pits and the n00bstories servers do, as far as I'm aware.

You can't force a server owner to run RenGuard. Sure, you can bitch about it.. whine about it.. cry about it.. but at the end of the day; no-one cares! We pay for the servers, we run them, you don't. You can whine and bitch all you want about how sucky our servers are because we don't run RenGuard, but we pay for them, therefore we do whatever the fuck we want with them.

I have enough Moderators and Administrators both in-game and in IRC to run my server cheat-free without RenGuard. As I mentioned before, Moderators work in-game together. KoTPaine thought he saw a cheater, I immediatly checked it out within a minute of him questioning it (instant repair). Within that minute, I kicked and banned the cheater. I trust my Moderators and Administrators. If I didn't, I would probably run RenGuard. But no, hence I don't run RenGuard.

It's not the fact I don't like RenGuard, it's great. It's stopped the majority of the cheats, but the end of the day it will never stop all cheats available. But yes, the majority it will. People will always find a way around that, that doesn't bother me at all. Providing we keep our servers cheat-free, that's fine with me.

The only other reason I don't run RenGuard on my server is because it managed to clear my full capacity server (32 players..) in a matter of seconds because no-one downloaded, installed and ran RenGuard. I'm not going to force my players to download RenGuard, to be hoenst no-one can do that.

So yeah, until I don't trust my Moderators, I will keep my server RenGuard-free. I feel happy enough to leave my server without me anywhere near it, and my Moderators will gladly kick and ban all cheaters.
