    Discontinued Automatically detects and votekicks cheaters/bots in TF2 casual.

  • I've been in a similar situation and I understand where you're coming from. It's a similar situation in dustbowl servers. I've found Pazer's Bot Detector to be a huge help even if it doesn't solve the problem. It's honestly just as useful for keeping track of human cheaters as it is for getting rid of bots. You can manually mark cheaters while using it, and after a while you'll be able to get a idea of whether a cheater is alone or in a group and to act accordingly. If I see more than two cheaters on a team I usually just re-queue, but if it's a group of two or less you can get them kicked a lot of the time, especially if they're being blatant about it. It's pretty insane that we have to resort to this, but it's better than wasting time playing with, and against, these people, and it gives some peace of mind because you're much less likely to try inadvertently kicking someone who's part of a cheating six stack while being harassed by his friends.
