Latest steam update broke tempus.
Specifically, our weapon blacklist no longer functions.
All runs abusing this will be wiped.
Anyone who abuses this will receive a temp ban(or permanent ban in the case of people who are using alts).

We might roll back all recent runs, so you are advised not to make any speedrun attempts until this is sorted out. Anyone

I believe you might do that if you suspect massive abuses (too many runs to check) but I feel like this is a bit extreme...
And this is just my opinion but maybe you guys could figure out a better way of preventing unlocks abuses (or maybe you have better things to do, idk).

Anyway this issue sucks, good luck getting all this fixed asap.

I wouldn't care if the database gets reverted to wipe all recent times, but I don't think it's really worth it. You can figure out without too much trouble who cheated runs just by looking at !rr and asking around, theres usually always someone watching, and if you have any doubt you can just upload demo and figure out pretty quickly.

There's currently 7 new tt since the update, there's only one that might be cheated, and i pmed you about it. Everything else is legit afaik.

Now for runs that aren't tt, it's just the same as with any other exploit you can use on tempus. How do you know if the 78th time on a map doesn't use freezeglitch or pitchdown or anything else if nobody tells you about it? Same problem here, and I don't see you guys reverting the database everytime you catch a player doing it or suspect someone to do it just in case he did other runs you don't know about.

I understand if you would do it, but I don't think its necessary.

EDIT: Well apparently dumb kids got on and theres still many times being cheated and some that arent even tt, so just roll back everything.

consider not banning people who may have exploited this time before this announcement was posted, because retroactive justice is pretty unfair

secondly, make sure people understand that this will result in a ban in the future, because up to now there was clearly a lack of communication about this, with people treating it like a minor meme instead of something more serious

people have not been banned in the past, and that is what it is, but make sure you give ample notice that next time this will not be tolerated

There was a warning in the chatbox of tempus, maybe even before the post.

that warning was not timely enough; there were times being cheated before it was put up

Is it really necessarly to have a rule saying "don't cheat runs" pop out in the chat every minute?... You're abusing something that you clearly know is not allowed. If you actually get a time using a cheat, you shouldn't be surprise to get banned. And knowing that your time is going to get wiped is not an excuse to just go ahead and cheat lol. If you want to have fun with unlocks, do it without your timer going like a lot ofpeople have been doing today.

i think the problem is more that there are no negative connotations with doing meme runs during tempus glitch phases because people were not banned or even prosecuted at all because of it
