Announcement: I'M BACK. HOLY SHIT, 360 MEMBERS!? WHAT THE FUCK AWESOME!

JOIN THE STEAM GROUP! UNITE IN SHAME! (Moralists allowed as long as you aren't a halo-flaunter.)
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/immoralcheaters

You can now use an automatic generator created by Swedman. It's pretty nice!
http://tfcheater.tk/

Seems I've started a small avatar fad in another thread, so I think I'll make it easier for those who'd like to have it. Just put this over your avatar like mine is. If you need one made, I'll be happy to.



If you want to change up the wording, the text used is tf2build (top) and tf2secondary (bottom). You can find them both in your TF2 files (both in the GCF and already in your tf folder). The colors are from the "you cheated" warning window that comes up when you logged in after losing your items (but you can obviously copy them from my image).

UPDATE: Transparent PNG version! It's never been easier! (Thanks, xpod1!)


MORE UPDATE: Wouldn't ya' know it? Daimao finally woke up! And now you moral high-roaders have a badge of (apparent) honor to mock us with:


ALSO! Never idled and still don't have a damned Cheater's Lament or any other of those damned hats? Just want to keep using this faggy avatar fad after it dies tomorrow? Grimezy15 has done you a service:


NEW! hexpunK decided to make a dual-tag for cheaters who also have no hats. It'll block out your avatar pretty badly if you don't have much to your avatar, but it's neat to have anyway.

If somebody can make this into a transparent PNG for easier copy+pasting, do so and I'll stick it here in the OP.
What'd you mean? Like blank out the areas your avatar would be?

Sure.

I'd like to encourage people to make their own, though.

We are not cheaters i think. I think we are smart. We actually have lives to tend to and dont want to sit in the basement in the dark in front of burning pixels and flickering lights. We instead just leave the comp on and go outside, or talk to friends, and do something constructive.

As a matter of fact we did not, READ THE BLOG POST ON TF2.COM

Due to us not having a policy in place prior to today, this time we're only removing the items earned through cheating the system.

Thanks.

And to those saying "I'm not a cheater, don't call me that :(", this tag is sarcastic (hence the "apparently"). Valve has marked us by giving every "non-cheater" a special item to signify their non-cheaterness...so I did the same to myself (but sarcastically).

It's not that great, I know; I just made a thread about it since several people in threads I posted in started doing it.

I'm not a cheater, I just didn't feel like after 450+ hours of playing before I got a dupe Ubersaw when the update first came out was not fair.

My second time was 2 weeks later after continuous playing, jarate.

I only used the idle program in the first 2 weeks that it came out too. Oh well, at least I still have my achievement weapons.

Well they should have SAID something like... you know... a few months ago, when the idler appeared, but no, they decided to keep quiet and ninja-screw-us-over.

I downloaded the idler and used it for maybe 2 hours (at the most). I just got duplicates and decided to delete it. Now I find out about the freaking halos and to top it off my legit Flare Gun got deleted too (wtf).
I only downloaded it 'cause everyone else semmed to be using it. Damn Valve. They didn't tell us it was against the rules, because it wasn't. They didn't have a policy against it, otherwise myself (and many others I'm sure) would never have used it. Anyway, I'm using this 'cheater' mark, even though I don't consider myself to be one.

A deviantART artist has summed up all this up nicely here: http://matsu-sensei.deviantart.com/a...8146?offset=25

I just love the way that before this announcement it was always referred to as idling. Even the non-idlers would call it that. But now all of a sudden it's labelled as cheating and the entire community has split down the middle (even if they say only 5% "cheated").

Would suck to be anyone who left the idler on for a few days while this happened.
Day 1 - Your account has been flagged
Day 2 - You have had all unlocks removed and will face a VAC ban if you persist
Day 3 - Your VAC status has changed and you will no longer be able to play on VAC protected servers
Day 4 - "Hmm, I might play some TF2 now. Hopefully I got that hat I wanted... OH SHI-"

I only idled just to get certain dupes cause i know an item crafting system will be implemented..
i was right.

And now we have these users that have the Cheater's LAMEnt who just keeps making fun of us.

This is what i feel of this situation, i'm sure MJ will feel the same too.

It's like if I said, you're dumb, you like Team Fortress 2, because I'm a Gaylo 3 fag and I'm all 1337zorz roxxorz your boxxorz. I could say the same thing, in a different medium.
