Replay Mod

Recently, some staff have been using purely replay mod for hacking evidence, specifically safe aura. It apparently has been tested several times and the code has been checked. Some people say it's reliable, some say it shouldn't be used at all. So Merp and I did a small test.
We realised most of the time, even though the player is not hacking, he still looks like he has safe aura. It's just the replay mod. It should really only be used for videos and montages, not evidence for hacking. It isn't reliable. Opinions?
In my opinion the Replay Mods is not something to use to assess and ban hackers. It's very inaccurate I suggest go back to the original process and use a screen recorder and recorded it yourself don't assess your hacking reports on a inaccurate mod.
You can't detect smooth aim, trigger, safe aura etc from a third person point of view?
Its hard enough as it is to detect smooth aim, trigger and safeaura from plugins, and so you'd suggest using a mod intended for cinematics to try and catch them instead? If you see both clips you can see that from my pov it is very jolted whereas on the replay mod its completely smooth, even at 0.1x speed. At 0.1x speed the replay mod gives 60fps output. Hang on a moment, at 0.1x it gives 60fps recording? So either I had 600fps on the build server or somethings wrong. It's the latter. In addition, I do not appreciate your comment above that where you seem to be hackusating. Excuse my lack of understanding with the remark you made as you may not have intended to be hackusating. If you are, however, hackusating then I'm sure you'd agree with me that that's not a good example to be setting as a moderator as you punish people for doing so. Oh and to clarify, in case you really do think I hack, I wasn't using any hack of any type in that video. The mods I had installed were forgecore, bskrpcore (for shaders), better foliage, World edit, the replay mod and forge loader, minecraft coder pack, arrow camera and tabbychat 2. If you do think I was hacking in that video then it shows one of two things: The replay mod is inaccurate or You cannot accurately detect hacks. Either way a change needs to be implemented as I fear players will be falsely banned in the future.

I never said you were hacking, nor have I ever supported the use of Replay Mod.
If you guys are arguing against 4lextr's ban, which I believe you are, lemme give you a couple of points.
1. He was obviously using Anti-Knockback, therefore his ban will stay.
2. Let's say he wasn't using Anti-Knockback, and just SafeAura (like last time). I understand how in your way (flicking your mouse around and clicking) the replay mod gets messed up, but in 4lextr's video he wasn't doing that. He turned around, never got on my hitbox, and still hit me.
If you guys want to talk more about this, we can talk about it on TS.
Also, I have never gotten the arguement of "replay mod is just for cinematics, therefore it can't be used to detect ghost clienters." People complain about hackers, replay mod is a supplement (we don't just use it for everything, just ghost clienters) and we do our jobs.

I did not mention his ban at all, I'm not arguing against his ban. I'm arguing against the use of Replay mod as evidence. I must admit the evidence I gave is bad though.

Why are you calling players out? I don't understand.
Replay mod is completely unreliable and unstable. A friend of mine (4lextr) got banned of "hacks" when he was one of the best pvpers I've ever met. Staff stated they used the replay mod and it showed he was hacking "for sure" so thus, he would stay banned. I suggest recording instead of replay mods. I've never used the replay mod, so I don't know if there will be a difference, but all I know is the replay mod isn't accurate
So, moderators on other server use this modification, your point?
OCN is a well-established server. Proof that a server as big as OCN is using it to aid with the banning of hackers and cheaters shows the mod is at least semi-reliable. Staff on well-established servers wouldn't use the mod if it wasn't reliable.
Replay mod is best for checking KB, others maybe but not as reliable. Also note I didn't say this mod cannot detect hacks, I'm saying it's not reliable. When it's not reliable, things happen.
I think it isn't 100% reliable but it is useful for catching hackers
This. And if you know what minecraft hits look like all were plain as day legit. We do not ban people off of one stupid thing in the replay mod, we ban when there is 100% propf
Seeing Some1's POV w/ Replay Mod is not the same as the real player has, I experimented that lol.
Yes that's what I am not every sure about. That's why I said it isn't reliable, but can be used to a slight extent to backup other evidences. As long as this isn't the only evidence used for a ban I'm fine.
He was the one hitting the zombies. The entire video is his POV.
There is a glitch if you record yourself. The head is never exactly where the player is. Now this should not be a problem if you are not reporting yourself. We also are changing ways we catch cheaters so if this caused fear we apologize but do not worry because we have more. We only use replay if we are 100% sure someone is cheating.

Thanks for clarifying. I just hope noone gets falsely banned for this, but as you said you only use this if you are 100% sure so it's fine. :)
It's sometimes depends on people's interent though like ingigo's internet. He takes less kb than everyone.
And also didnt you screenshare 4lextr? And wasn't he clean?
a) You can literally just use a USB or Injection client and be immune from screenshares. You see leaderboard-level players on Kohi getting off from screenshares who cheat all the time. Also, the staff there are WAY better at screensharing than avicus staff tbh.
b) You do realize that the only way you take that no kb legit is if you're frozen, which he clearly wasn't. 4lextr was running around freely without taking knockback.
c) You don't seem to have a very good understanding of knockback. Almost nothing can reduce your vertical kb, but there are a few ways to reduce horizontal knockback. The fact that his kb was zero in vertical and horizontal while running freely without lag means he was clearly hacking.
EDIT:
d) There is absolutely no need to waste our time on a screenshare when he was using anti-kb
e) Screensharing isn't a crutch for staff to lean on, which is what everyone views it as and it's why the community whines and complains whenever their friends are blatantly hacking and get banned as a result. "Why didn't you screenshare him?" Maybe because it wasn't needed, maybe because they could've deleted the files by then. There are too many reasons not to

He kept on running though and then he turned around, he was lagging
Tbh most people that aren't mods have disagreed with using the replay mods anyway smh
Because most people are too ignorant and don't bother to do enough research to actually have a meaningful opinion on the matter, therefore complain based off lack of knowledge.
This is the third time asking but is there anyway he can prove he doesn't hack
It is not really simple He would need to prove that the replay mod does not produce accurate KB to the extent of not taking any and proving how we was the only one to not take KB when everyone else did.

Since when being a good pvper proves you didn't hack once...?

I'm saying someone could have mistakened it for hacks, since he's a good Pvper.
