Many people in the Allmaps server talk about the problem of hackers, but only few people seem to know what to do when they actually spot one. There are two things you can do when you suspect someone in the server hacks:
1. Contact an admin and ask him to spectate the player. The admin will immediately save the player's info, in order to make sure that it's not a namefaker, and so that, if the player does hack, he can be banned later. The admin will then go into the server, usually not using his real name, and will spectate and film the player with Xfire. The player will also be added to the watchlist, so that he can be spectated later, if necessary. If it's obvious that the player hacks, the admin will upload the video to Xfire and include it in the bantopic.
2. The second way of dealing with a hacker is by filming him yourselfself, preferably using Xfire, which can be downloaded here. Fraps can also be used, but sharing xfire videos is easier and faster. Before or while filming, you should contact an admin, so that he can save the player's info. Hackers often use the name Player or Spieler and if they leave, no one can know who the player was and all the evidence is useless. Even if the hacker uses a normal name or even a name of someone who plays in the server regularly, an admin needs to compare the players keyhash and IP to the database, to make sure that it's not a namefaker.
The one thing you should not do is accusing someone of hacking in the server. This disturbs the gameplay and is usually considered spam. A hacker is also likely to temporarily turn off his hacks when someone announces he will spectate him, which only makes it harder to get evidence.

To talk to an admin on http://www.Helloclan.eu, go to his profile, add him as friend, and use the Messenger function.
Please remember that if an admin spectates a player, he might not think the same about it as you do. So even if you are 100% sure someone hacks, an admin might not agree with you. If you are really sure someone hacks when the admin doesn't agree, you can ask a second opinion from another admin, or use option 2 and point out to the admin where in the video you can see someone hacks.
