Hello Tributes!

Week 4 has been another productive and successful week, and we're glad to share another set of results with you! This previous week, the team set a goal to achieve more bans than we have the last two weeks. We accomplished that goal, and we ended up getting more than 20 bans than we did the last couple weeks. We're going to be setting goals for the coming weeks, though.

In previous operations, this has proven to be a successful option in eliminating hackers from the EU network; however, we are still looking into ways to make the operation even more successful. If you have any ideas for the Cleansweep, feel free to PM me, Nephilim, AlpakaWhacker, Axanite, and/or mfungamer. In order to catch more hackers, we organize 2 hour cleansweeps during the peak times on the EU network and sometimes an impromptu sweep which would last for an hour on average. The times will be listed below.

Times & Dates:
(All times are GMT)
Monday: 7PM-9PM
Wednesday: 8PM-10PM
Friday: 6PM-8PM
Saturday: 3PM-5PM & 8PM-10PM (7PM-9PM on meeting days)
Sunday: 3PM-5PM & 8PM-10PM
*If you have any suggestions on when we should hold the sweeps, feel free to contact any member of the EU Cleansweep Team, as listed above.

This Week's Statistics:
123 participants.
38 of those were community members.
85 of those were staff members.
14 hours of sweeps.
106 hackers were banned.
65 of those bans were permanent.
11 of those were 1 week.
An average of 15.14 bans were made each session.
11 hackers were found and recorded by members of the community.

What can you do?
In previous Cleansweeps, we have had many community members come onto TeamSpeak and assist us in making hacking bans. We do appreciate this. In order to help, log onto the TeamSpeak (ts.mcgamer.net) during the scheduled times. Then, poke a staff member in the channel. Before beginning, you must be aware of this:
By joining the EU Cleansweep, you agree that you will actively participate in catching hackers on the EU network and that you will not be found breaking any of the MCGamer rules which can be found at http://mcgamer.info.
After you have read and understood the agreement, you can begin going server to server recording and reporting hackers to the staff in the channel. Please note that you will have to be able to record in order to participate. If you cannot record, you can still report hackers by poking staff about them. If you are having trouble finding live games to look for these pesky hackers, then the server list might help you out: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/servers/.

Can't get on TeamSpeak? That's fine. You can still help out by recording and reporting hackers at http://report.mcgamer.info. These reports are a huge help to both the network and the staff team and every single one of them is greatly appreciated!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Question: Will the Cleansweep ever end?
Answer: The operation will continue as long as it is needed. If there is ever a point when the amount of
hackers on EU is low, it may end, but it will start as soon as the hacker problem is present again.

Question: Do I have to talk?
Answer: No, you don't have to talk, but you can if you'd like.

Question: Do I have to record?
Answer: Yes, we are only allowing those who can record to join; however, if you want to help out, you can still message us people you suspect are hacking or directly poke us the evidence if you have any.

Question: Is there a US or AU Cleansweep?
Answer: Don't worry, the other regions will not be neglected. Currently, the staff are testing other solutions for each region. Please check out this thread if you are interested in participating in the AU Cleansweep: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/au-cleansweep.159744/
*Please note that the EU and AU Cleansweep are operated by different members of both the community and the staff, so if you wish to receive further information on sweeps of a certain region, make sure to contact the correct people.

Question: Why do you post all the times when hackers can see it?
Answer: Most hackers will not check the forums, and won't even know that we are there. In addition, we do impromptu Cleansweeps as well.

Please be sure to thank xSaw90, Vigilo, NuJaan, UnderSeaGirl, PlazaGames, Tjdriver, and khiddalan_ for recording hackers during the Cleansweeps!

Have a wonderful week!
~MCGamer Staff, EU Cleansweep Team

Sunday was my first ever clean sweep. I have got to say it's quite a lot of fun catching hackers and speaking to other players with the same mindset. I am defiantly going to be participating everyday this week!

Sounds fun...but again the same issue arises every week - I lag too much on EU because I live in Australia.
Can't wait for AU cleansweep :)

If on only US was cool like the EU people and do this for US.. :(
At this point in the time, the hacker problem is largely in the EU region, therefore we do EU cleansweeps. However, if there becomes a hacker epidemic in the US region, I'm sure staff will organize US cleansweeps. :)
