But they should at least receive a jail punishment. It affects gameplay just as badly as cheating. It’s not something you can do by accident; to do it you have to press the keys in a specific order and timing. It’s extremely unlikely that innocent players would get punished by mistake. A few days of jail time would make the situation clear.
Keep in mind that you have around 20 ping while he has about 200. Your hitbox matches your visible skin, but his hitbox appears far behind his actual skin. This makes it much harder for you to hit him, while it is easier for him to hit you.
Your chance of landing a headshot is around 80 percent, or 40 percent if he has armor. His chance is also 80/40 percent as long as his ping does not go above 199. If it goes slightly higher, his chance becomes 66.7/33.35 percent. Even with ping above 300 he still would have 35/17.5 percent chance to land a headshot. Ping over 400 has 0% chance.
During these 15 years I asked asturel many times to change these chances or to modify the headshot system entirely, but he always refused. About ten years ago, when we disabled headshots for a few days, everyone came to IRC to complain. So the meta here is basically to have around 190 ping, because you still keep the 80/40 chance while your hitbox becomes completely broken.
In fact, I noticed that lag related to ping becomes a real problem around 60 ms. That is the point where, if you shoot at your opponent’s head (center) while he is running sideways, you will not hit his actual hitbox. The center of your sawed off crosshair needs to be at the back of his skull. At 100 ping, the crosshair has to be fully behind his head, and at 200 ping it needs to be around one and a half meters behind him.
Here is an old video demonstrating it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y02WozvXpJo
The guy in the video had around 300 to 305 ms.
Because of these lag issues, fighting high ping players is completely unfair and unbalanced. They still manage to complain that their chance drops to 66.7/33.35 above 200 ping, while they are the ones with the advantage. They even claim that low ping players have the upper hand, when the reality is the complete opposite. They only need to aim directly at the visible head of our skin, while we have to estimate a different distance for every single shot.
I would also believe this looks like aimbotting. The account was banned, but we had to unban it because asturel wants us to only ban one account. He expects us to catch cheaters on all of their accounts.
When you suspect aimbotting there is nothing you or we can really do. Videos like this do not help because we cannot see where the shots actually went, and more importantly we cannot see his perspective. Even if we spectated him he would not use the cheat because he would know he is being watched. And even if he did use it, it would not change much because in spectator mode you cannot see where he aims. The only thing you might barely notice is no recoil or no spread, and that is only visible with UZI or TEC9 either.
@DEAD_GHOST its a serial ban, not ip ban
https://forum.gtasa.eu/topic/659/if-your-serial-gets-banned-by-others
can't unban it anymore even if i wanted to.
The best you can try is to ask Dutchman101 for a new serial, altough I think you have only 1% chance to even get in contact with him. And even if you manage somehow, he would probably blame you for sharing your accounts on gto with others & getting yourself banned to get your serial exposed. He might also say that we shouldn't show serials in public but the reason for that is answered in the link I gave
@DEAD_GHOST we can't help you if he gives back the ban. The new rule has been added to gto and shared on the forum.
You may ask help from mta ac team to maybe generate you a new serial on mta dc, but I don't think they will. If you get banned again we can not help you anymore read the new rule and understand it
@BakiCan05 the account is banned for stating not insulting. Stating accounts are stat reseted and unbanned once or twice a year. We usually wait till a certain amount of accounts get banned

What if others ban your serial?
I've spoken with asturel today and he made a final judgment and proclamation which I will now deliver to you :
We removed the ban from the two serials involved in the recent incident, but this was the first and the last time. Since the attacker already knows these two serials, he will simply reapply the ban sooner or later. We cannot help with that.
The banlist must remain visible so you can see when your ban expires or why you were banned. We cannot make it private under any circumstances. You are responsible for any serials visible in your player settings.
We have been saying for a long time that players who share accounts will not receive any assistance. If you shared your account and, because of that, your serial became visible to potential attackers, we will not help you.
This is why everyone must understand the following:
If you end up on the banlist for any reason, it means you have done something wrong as a player. Even if you eventually get unbanned, that is simply the consequence of your actions. We cannot and will not help in such situations.
OwlGaming is now an open‑source project that allows anyone to create an RP server. I personally always disliked RP servers — I never understood the appeal of playing a game by pretending to act like you do in real life. Still, I have to admit that most popular servers nowadays are RP-based.
An OwlGaming admin who had access to the code basically uploaded it to the internet, and that’s how it became open source. But this happened around 15 years ago. Since then, people have been downloading and running it without realizing how many security issues it has. The codebase is extremely outdated and relies on abandoned MySQL modules.
Cheating became a major issue in 2023 because AI reached a point where cheat developers could easily obtain the information they needed. You can phrase questions to ChatGPT in a way that it unintentionally helps you. I don’t know any MTA developer who would willingly assist cheat developers — at one point I suspected Dutchman because some Turkish players made me believe that. He’s the only member of the MTA AC Team, and he simply can’t keep up with cheat developers. Every time he announces a new AC update, cheaters break through it in less than an hour.
Eventually I lost contact with him because it became impossible to have a normal conversation. I guess he never actually wanted to understand that I was misled into believing he had helped the Turks attack GTO. I sent him messages with as much detailed information as possible so he could actually help, but he never bothered to read them — his response was always “I’m not going to read essays.” He was hostile and created his own false assumptions, accusing us of breaking the server (GTO) with this or that. He even snapped at Asturel because of a misunderstanding he created himself, despite Asturel also telling him that we never did the thing he believed we did.
And the reason he came to those conclusions was simply because he didn’t read the full messages — he only skimmed every third or fourth line and built his assumptions from that.
@Castilo These were banned in 2024 September and asturel's wish about chain bans was happened later.
Rules change over time but by only a bit
For e.g. in the past we given bans for crouchbug and now only jail. But that doesn't mean that older punishments will be changed to new ones.
The punishments are given for a reason - to learn not to get banned again for the same thing. Checking your current account we can see that you still use cheats so you learnt nothing from losing these.
People still try to ask for amnesty for older punishments, and sometimes they slip through by getting an unjail for e.g. which was given for a crouchbug years ago.
And one thing to note: Self confirming that you used a cheat is perfectly enough for a ban even if there was no actual video evidence of it, the conversation between you and your friend tells everything how the two of you tried the first cheats.
Don't get me wrong I know that all of you use the cheat now, maybe 1-2 players are an exception only. Since MTA's AC can't detect it you can use them, but be aware because we see some hints, and some logs which indicates the usage.
@MileyCyrus I know that you said "nicer words" to him than now so you can quit acting. I honestly don’t care about what you say. I’m not your friend. In fact, I’ve never had friends on GTO because as an active admin you'd make exceptions for them. That’s why I never understood why you acted like we were close.
Either way, it doesn’t matter to me. I genuinely don’t care anything about you or anything you say. Gerson should have banned you way much earlier for cheating, but he didn’t. Only recently did I see how many cheats you’ve been using over the past months. Teleports are hard to notice, but was it really necessary to ruin records? Was it necessary to cheat in front of people who could easily record you?
@MileyCyrus said in ???:
i could literally unjail myself instantly
But you'll not tell us how of course 
I know you don’t care about punishments — you just buy your unbans and move on. Your behavior shows a complete lack of respect for the game and the community. Even the turkish guy has more moral than you.
