Hello, is there any explanation for these settings? protection 1,5,10 means nothing to me as a server operator. Sorry if this is posted somewhere. I couldn't find it.

The thresholds accumulate suspicious activity and once it passes the threshold it will kick people out. Usually you shouldn't touch the settings unless you have a specific issue with the anticheat. Meaning if players get kicked out for type 9, lower its threshold multiplier or disable it.

@Beard I've turned it off. I don't know what it does or what it impacts. Unfortunately you haven't answered my question except tell me what I already know. But thanks!

My hope is this will be better refined and given a UI with descriptions to at least inform people what its doing. In the end, I'm glad there's an off switch now. :)

Here would be the official answer:

"We’re not able to give specifics for many of these because it’d make it simple for hackers to set values that’d allow them to approach the threshold without stepping over it."

@Beard again not helpful. Already known, but thanks for the effort.
