Hello xisteagle,
Everyone knows that any type of scripts lead to a permanent ban. Bunny hop scripts have been the reasons that players got banned permanently from any server way back from 2007 as I remember. Legitimately jumping via mwheel or space is allowed, as it does not give you any significant advantage because you're bound to make a mistake sooner or later. However, macros and scripts don't fail, scripts especially. They provide advantages for players with no hope of failing.
I've reviewed the demo last night and that is a script no doubt. The consistency of jumps with next to no strafing and of course, with the JUMP button almost not even showing up are obvious.
1 good reason to ban "jumpers" permanently? Here's one, they're cheaters. (The use of a program/code to provide an advantage to a player is cheating.)
If we were to use your suggestion and not ban cheaters permanently, there would be anarchy. Dozens and dozens of cheaters would come every day, players would complain and we would just freeze/kick them? Then they'd return the next day and the cycle would just seem to go on through a loop hole. And eventually, people would start leaving because they'd become sick of all the cheaters.
To sum up everything, any type of script is considered cheating because it provides a significant advantage to a certain player which is not achievable by others legitimately. It is known that any type of cheating is severely punishable, which is of course by a permanent ban.
As Krypto said, if you want to continue playing on our servers, you will have to buy a new account because we respect that policy. New account, new chance/opportunity. You've been proven guilty and unless the Head Administrators decide otherwise, from both mine and Krypto's perspective, the ban stays.
Sincerely,
