Lately, I've been getting a LOT of what we call "hackusations" while playing under various smurf names. Examples:
9/18/2019 21:24:43 : # [Global] [redacted0] : i think 0w0 have a fog cheat.
9/18/2019 21:24:43 : Server: Player [redacted0] kicked.
9/18/2019 21:24:55 : # [Global] 0w0: no i don't
9/18/2019 21:27:51 : # [Global] [SrAdmin]Wasabi: don't ever accuse me of ch**ting again
9/18/2019 21:28:03 : # [Global] [redacted0]: f**k you
9/18/2019 21:28:03 : Server: Player [redacted0] kicked.
9/28/2019 11:11:42 : # [Global] [redacted]: yeah. you're a cheater. Nice hack fag
9/28/2019 11:11:42 : Server: Player [redacted] kicked.
9/28/2019 11:11:42 : # [Global] Cheese: lol

9/28/2019 11:11:42 : Server: Player [redacted2] kicked.
9/29/2019 10:15:20 : # [Global] [redacted5]: shut ur sh*t off
9/29/2019 10:15:27 : # [Global] Queso: i aint got hax

9/29/2019 10:15:54 : # [Global] [redacted5] : yeah you do
9/29/2019 10:16:05 : Player [redacted5] [unknown] kicked by wasabi for hackusations.
9/29/2019 10:16:05 : Client: Said '[BFSM] [redacted5] kicked for hackusations'.
9/29/2019 10:16:05 : Client: Kick player [redacted5].
10/6/2019 20:50:10 : # [Global] [redacted3]: aimbot
10/6/2019 20:50:10 : # [Global] Josie's Hot Cousin: almost
10/6/2019 20:50:10 : User operator at console kicked player [redacted3] for banned words in chat messages.
10/6/2019 20:50:10 : User operator at console said '[BFSM] Kicking [redacted3] for using banned words'.
10/6/2019 21:19:14 : # [Global] [redacted4]: I agree with [redacted3] (the same player who earlier accused me of using an aimbot)
I was playing under the names in red when I got accused; yes those are my smurfs.
Other examples include "bs", "wow such amazing aim", etc etc. To be completely frank, it's getting old.
It's very disheartening and annoying when I keep getting accused of cheating when I'm not. I have seen several other players (all of them veterans) accused of hacking and it just doesn't help the gameplay environment, especially when one player accuses and then someone else agrees (like the last example I posted above).
As you all know, we have an excellent admin team who are very skilled and experienced at catching real hackers. If you think someone is cheating, by all means please post here and we will look into it. No one should be made to feel unwelcome or forced to defend themselves from hackusations in-game.
On a different note, I often smurf and I will continue to do so because I feel it helps me 'blend in' to the server better and not always have to be in admin mode. If anyone wants to get some game play tips or just chat, you are welcome to PM me in the forums or ask me to come into TeamSpeak. Alternatively you are free to accuse me of hacking face-to-face (well virtually) and I will happily discuss.
Thanks for playing on Moon and see you on the Battlefield.
