My response was such:
I do not understand why Shadow is so offended by this act. You might see him or his members once a month in Shepherd's server. Sure, Shepherd is accusing them of either cheating or supporting those who do cheat. However, it is his server and he can deny access to anyone he wants to. It is his computer he is putting on the line every time he hosts a server. If Shadow hates being shunned, then he needs to get a life and find better people to hang out with. I am quickly losing my patience with the cheaters, supporters, and war-mongers of BC. I am about ready to deny access to my server when it comes to all the clans that Shepherd no longer allows.

You decide. Got this in an email from one of the people at the BC Freelancers forum, named Shepherd. Now normally I don't post stuff relating to him, because he's just an independent. But this particular piece concerns us, I feel he's made a mistake. It is his server...but we can still have an opinion about it.

Greetings
I have been reading many forums of late and I must say I have been greatly disappointed with many clans and one independent in BC. It has left me with a troubled mine that so many clans that lead so many people and individuals out in BC have resorted in cheating, hacking, hyper-threading and so on. Some of you are proud of the fact and brag about how you out cheated your foe.
Those of you that have participated in these acts have nothing to be proud of. Don’t you see when you act in this poorly fashion what does that say about your character? Do you cheat in real life or just wish that you could?
If one clan cheats and you feel that you have to cheat also to win you have lost already. You have lost because you lowered yourselves to their level. If a clan chooses to cheat the best way to handle that kind of situation is ignore them. Never let them have the satisfaction of provoking you. When you do then you have given them control over yourself.
It is with the deepest regret that I am informing you that the following clans and one individual will not be allowed in my server when I return to BC.
Devil Dogs
Imperial Klingon Fleet
Killroy Squad
X Fleet Sentinels
And Saratoga
Each clan and individual all have admitted to using cheats, hacking and crashing servers. Killroys Squad for aiding and assisting in the war as support to IKF. Although KS did not use any modification but did support IKF and did not contest the fact that IKF did use cheats. Saratoga admitted he used cheats and hack also in BC.
None of you have my respect. You have disgraced yourselves and your clans and more over you all have desecrated Star Trek Bridge Commander as a game.
When one cheats he robs from his own integrity and embarrasses himself in the spot light.
Shepherd
My reply is simply this. While we agree regarding the fact that cheating is bad, where's your proof of XFS and DD cheating? Making accusations without proof is unwise, and makes you look bad. But if you want to be that way to two clans who have not done anything to you, then we'll either shoot or ban any members of the BC Freelancers (Currently known as Shepherd, Taonas Deridran, and Logan)that enter XFS servers (and probably DD space as well) until the situation changes.
Its your server, but actions you take will have consequences.
The fact is, we don't cheat, and you've lost respect.
Shadow
My response was such:
Soldierboy is a member of FH and not a Freelancer. He was simply in the teamspeak talking to us when Shadow entered. As for proof, not all of us are running Fraps or related programs; Therefore, it is hard for us to gain proof. I am not accusing anyone here because I personally haven't seen any hacking. I do not enter other servers besides my own and Shepherd's because other people do not understand how to ban disruptive players like the two of us do. You can shoot me all you want. Just remember, we are the boss in our servers. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you can demand that we change our ways.
For now, I am still allowing everyone into my my server, Freelancer Duels. If I find you or any other clan becoming disruptive or cannot follow rules, I will not hesitate to ban you permanently. Even if you have a rotating router, I can still ban your entire range. It has been done before and can be done again.
