I'm still thinking about that. Like I said, the idea is still pretty rough around the dges. Fact is, you can't just trust the admins of every random server that uses it, so I have to make it rely on it's build in Anti cheat, which means the built in AC would have to be foolproof.

Someone who would be much more qualified to create this system, such as JernejL, who has REAL experience with anti-cheat detection, would be a better option.

Although I see your point, I'm wondering if you posted this out of your grudge towards jS or just for the thread itself.
Anyway, apart from "learning about various types of hacks" I didn't count jS itself as prior experience. I haven't scripted for any of jS's servers, apart from my own gamemode. (which never got released).
And, although I didn't really want to make a list of where I've gained this experience, one major factor is jS's side-community Son of Mini-Missions. This is where I grew the most in scripting. Apart from that, I've aided several smaller servers and communities.

But, I get your point. There's probably dozens of people who are more qualified than I am. JernejL is a good example. And somewhere out there, there are probably scripters who are even more qualified. But they aren't doing this. (For as far as I can tell)
Furthermore, one of the reasons I made this thread is to see if there's actually any need for a system like this. I'm not going to invest a huge amount of time into something nobody will end up using. Because, if I'm actually going to do this, I will take this as serious as it gets. I will have to invest a fair amount of time into researching different cheats, thinking of + creating ways to detect them, creating the database + the site + everything related, and continuously test the ssytem, to make sure the AC is as foolproof as possible. believe me, I may not be the best scripter around (not even close), but would I do something as big as this, then I'd take this as serious as possible.

Please explain.

I see where you're getting at. And I don't see a way of overcoming this at the moment. Would I make this, then I'd probably have to get it known by hear-say, or something.
