I think the most likely thing is that he took a THUG2 trainer and used it on THUG Pro.
However, if he's notorious for doing this, why hasn't he been banned from OpenSpy? In my opinion, this kind of behavior is bannable.
After all, isn't this kind of crappy behavior what killed online THPS? A bunch of assholes who take pride in RUINING other people's fun.
It's kinda sad because honestly... I don't like being harsh and I hoped that he might've sorted his act out after getting scrutinized, but since that's not the case I'm not gonna be nice.
I still like his CAPs tho.
I'll put it to you all like this. Thug Pro itself is a mod. Thug Pro is a product of a community of people like BlazE who modded the original games for years. If you would've pushed for bans to Neversoft or Gamespy or some shit then, this project might not exist today for you all to get upset over some tiny mods. If you remember correctly, Codebreaker and Gameshark used to release official balance and score mod codes day one, and people used them online day one. The debug menu has always been a huge tool and something everyone wants, and after YEARS of seeing people with it, releasing on Xbox 360 was one of the GREATEST things I've done FOR the community, the majority of people don't use it to cheat, even though they can. What it comes down to are a few noobs don't get the point, and they use it to cheat. BIG DEAL, ban them. They get the picture quick when they can't join any lobbies. Oh they VPN, you can't ban them like BlazE or I couldn't be banned? Oh well, ban them from your server again. They'll get the message that they're wasting their time.
It is literally already ridiculous that we have to handpick and debate between ourselves, which we do regularly, over what would be considered ok and what wouldn't to release. If this was any other game or if people we knew personally weren't developing it, you'd have 6x the mods available from us, and if people used them to cheat we'd just call them dickbags and continue to move forward. If everyone in the lobby knows the guy just cheated to win, it's not like he really won, and there's not any ranking system, so it's almost like it didn't even happen.
With all that said, Tomo, BlazE is the second-highest contributor aside from myself to TNThps. We work on many of these mods together, and we also help each other out on our individual releases. You hit me up and offered to design the TNThps logo, which you did knowing it was for a THPS modding site. Modding isn't evil, and nobody should be pushing for any modders to be banned. If everyone hates this SkateFilter guy, don't play with him. If everyone hates BlazE, don't play with him or join his lobbies. If everyone hates me, don't play with me either. You said you weren't going to be nice, so I'm not either. I'm being straight-forward:
If the community as a whole flips on TNThps at any point, we will release everything we have and move forward to another project. We have always said we will never release anything game-ruining, and it is recorded that we have tried to maintain that standard for a very long time. This one person getting one mod and using it to cheat online to piss people off wasn't planned, it wasn't on purpose, and it doesn't even deserve this kind of attention.
