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.

Just to clarify, as I do see it seemed somewhat rude after re-reading (though that is how I was taught; shed it out, don't beat around the bush), I don't have any hatred towards jS itself. I enjoyed many of the servers, just, like I stressed, the anti-hack systems throughout the servers were pathetic, to say the least.
I'm appreciative you realize what I said and took from it, instead of taking it all negatively. It is a good thing that you seem like you would take it as professionally as possible, and it may be possible. However, like previously stated, without a well known reputation, you may just not get a large enough base of users to make a difference. Not to mention, there will always be ways to get around the cheating system, regardless of how often you update it. That is why I always find it personally better to have a very simple anti-cheat system, and always a trustworthy and qualified administrative staff on the server to monitor the players.
My only fault with this system is that that has been said countless times on these forums. I'm sure you've already heard them, so I'll save you from having to listen to them once again.
