Please Elaborate Anti-Cheats
There are several new anti cheats, can you please elaborate what they do? Well, might as well elaborate all the anti cheats.

I think server operators have the rights to know them, is hard to operate server without knowing what those do.

There are people who got kicked from Type 21, 22, 23, 24....
All of those types I have zero idea what it does.
And because you don't tell us what it does, we just disable it. I guess that defeat the purpose of anti cheat in the first place.

got any tips for type 22, which I'm constantly encountering? Already re-installed the game, and I usually get kicked immediately, but once I had enough time to remove 6 patches of grass (yeah I'm a real hero ikr) ;)

That is, you can just ask when a problem arises, like everyone else. Or if you're not playing on a public facing server without user accounts protected by passwords, just disable them because some mods are going to do "bad things" like give players noclip/invisible/godmode to function, making them quite dangerous to run on a public server in the first place.

Your choice, but it's feeling kinda pointless to get into this further if you're just disabling them anyway and are going to ignore the reason why we need to be vague about this.

In all honesty, if a hacker really want to hack the game, it will find ways to bypass every "enabled" cheat out there and they will have a copy of this game to trial and error on, to disable and enable each anti cheat to find out what it does. At a technical level too, won't be at superficial level like this one.

On the other hand, us who run the server is not gonna go test every single anti cheat out there to figure out what it does, We do not have the time to do that, we just here to run the server and play the game. What really annoying is you guys don't even bothered to tell us what it does, only to answer it if we asked which in the end still available on the internet which anybody can still be googled out. I don't know what's all the point in making all this so tedious and difficult when at the end of the day, you will just describe what it does so why not simply tell us what all of those do in the first place?

Again, it is because you guys are so reluctant to tell us what any of those anti cheat regulate, we server operators also find it very tedious and difficult to get it out of you (having to ask and google etc etc), therefore we choose to just disable it. Is it our fault? Nope, not at all.

its anti cheat dude =p made to keep cheaters from messing with you if you doing public things, its known that some aniti cheat numbers might mess with something as mentioned above for various programming reasons or what ever. but if you are hosting with jsut your buddies joining etc standard. then it isnt even needed. you arent broadcasting to the main servers. but i can understand if you want to trouble shoot or work out similar issues. but that will justh ave to happen. with computers and video games a little bit of prodding is nescesary, if disabling certain anti cheat numbers works due to mods etc then that is how it is, im sorry friend. just be carefull about chasing a false lead and looking in the wrong place for your answers, its a waste of energy and time friend =D

I keep getting kicked due to anticheat 24... I just want to know what I can do to keep playing... I'm not cheating. Just need to know if its an item or a location thing. Not asking for a bypass just a hint as to what I can do to prevent the frusteration of getting kicked at no fault of my own. Thanks
