I would just like to point out that my server is hacker free. And it runs no blacklist. Perhaps what should be encouraged is more laptop servers like mine. It's only running when I'm on, and usually only when I'm playing AssaultCube myself. This ensures it's always administrated. How can a server that runs 24 hours a day be admin'd at all times, even by an entire international clan? Everyone's shifts are going to have to be very well organised.
Or perhaps laptop servers aren't the answer. But one thing's for certain is that the best way to deter hackers other than a working anti cheat, is for servers to be well admin'd. As I asserted you'll never get a server admin'd around the clock but it would be good if every server had as many admins as possible. I contributed to this myself in fact only Yesterday. I gave my admin pass to someone who didn't know one word of English. Actually he knew three words; give, me, admin. This course of action should be promoted. I know this because we have all seen a shining example of it working to ensure hacker-free gameplay: the 40+ servers. They have so many trusted admins that no-one bothers to hack there, you'd be banned in an instant if you did. It's just the most incredibly effective and simple thing, give your admin pass out.
