[mohaa] is this guy cheating?

[Salsich, Luke]

Actually, I am planning on setting up some new anti-cheat scripts this
weekend. Andre, what is the current link to your tool?

Hello André,

> I agree Shockwave, but He only asked if he was using no_fog...

While I understand that this was his only question, I still think that
nobody can say for certain that the player in question is clean.  As I
stated earlier, those cvars only show up if they are either part of an
honesty config, or if they are scanned by a server-side anti-cheat mod.  In
the case of the honesty config, it simply cannot be trusted.  In the case of
the server-side anti-cheat mod, the list of cvars isn't complete enough to
say with certainty that the player in question was ever scanned by such a
method.  Every server-side mod I have seen is much more thorough.

I'm sticking with my original assessment.  I don't think anyone can prove
that this player was not cheating solely by analyzing the information
provided.  The best way is for Luke to use a server-side anti-cheat mod like
yours to be sure that players are clean.  Anything else leaves too much
uncertainty.
