@everyone I would like to announce the beginning of a logo creation contest. We need something that better explains who we are as an organization. This logo will be used as our Discord Emblem and Reddit logo. The contest will last for 48 hours. All submissions should be posted in #deleted-channel. Once posted people will begin voting on them to see whose work should represent us as a whole. Good luck!

@everyone DEFCON 5 Harmony has come to us with peace and the larger Hacker/Raider organizations are claiming to be done raiding all PD's. Some more unorganized groups may attack us in the future, be we will be ready for them. We have truly fared the storm. Just remember to stay vigilant, we will continue our work in hunting down in game hackers.

@everyone Welcome to the server buckaroo https://discord.gg/GSvTt4K The Patrols (called Tours) in my server are only from people that are the most experienced and proficient at killing hackers. Anyone defined as Sergeant in this server will have access, and have a +1 voucher. The server is open for anyone to join, whether or not your part of the Guerilla. To expand our members we will allow people in if they gain the recommendation of the Sergeants by doing well in Patrols in this server. To reiterate, there are two ways to join the Guerilla: -Be brought in from the Sergeant's +1 Voucher -Become a Sergeant in the future by proving yourself in Patrols With that being said, jump on in (edited)

@everyone If you wish to talk with us on reddit, use the sub for this PD. (r/TF2hackerSWAT) I know many people are trying to use r/TF2hackerpolice to try and help us, but the different PD's follow different philosophies. Also when posting big things or something that needs be changed should be conversed on the sub because things like that usually get lost in the Discord or get forgotten about.

@everyone I would like to bring up a concern that many people have brought to me on Discord and Reddit in private, and that is that some of our officers are being kicked from games. While I do not know the reason for many of these kicks it seems that many people are afraid that we could be a hacker group. One of these reasons could be that many people with the same clan name are joining at the same time, and two (from what I have heard) that officers are spamming binds some of which are not even related to our organization. This problem must be sorted out immediately because we are meant to be the protectors of TF2 now. If players feel that we could be hackers or spammers there is something wrong with what is going on in the field. Luckily, there are ways we can quickly fix these problems. 1. Do not be using any inappropriate binds while on duty (AKA having the [SWAT] or [TF2PD] clan name on your steam). 2. Do not spam binds, use informational binds occasionally about who we are as an organization and how they can contact us about joining or to ask questions. 3. While on duty, use the voice chat to your benefit by calmly organizing your team to help fight back against the bots and hackers. Showing a level of professionalism when handling the hackers and bots will leave an incredible impression upon the innocent players and hackers alike. 4. If a fellow officer is being kicked, calmly explain who you guys are and what your mission is. Do not freak out if the officer is kicked either, take it in stride and continue with the patrol to help the match. Hopefully this will help you guys on your future patrols. Make sure in reports from now on to state if any officer was kicked from a session and why that was.

@everyone I am calling all officers leave the TF2PD v2 Discord server immediately. The current owner, Nix, has been setting a bad example from the rest of the PD's. Her general lack of interest in helping the other PD's show how she truly does not care for the community. Her clear abuse of her admin powers on her Discord server also shows that she is using this activist movement for some kind of personal power trip. As seen in the FAQ channel of that Discord you can see that she has made the entire organization all about herself and not the officers that work for her. I highly encourage that all of you try and help get the officers of that discord out of there as well and try to get them to join partisan.tf or the SWAT. REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A RAID ON THEIR DISCORD. We would be no better than the raiders and hackers if we did so.

@everyone DEFCON 3 To those who do not know what happened, there was a raid against this server at 0330 CST. Most of the raid was contained to the #new-officers and unfortunate the #suggestions do to a fault in security on my part. 2 members of the raid were granted Officer role some time in the last few days and were able to do more damage but no lasting damage since all messages were deleted from all raiders. These raids are going to become less and less damaging as time goes on with the additional security added to the server. Discord accounts that are not older than 14 days will be automatically banned. They will also be required to preform a captcha test to see if they are a bot before being able to message. In regards to the raiders who were able to get the officer role, it could not be helped. As you all know we only ask to see a steam account before joining as a means of security checks. With the new programming from the bots, the server will be much more secure. Lieutenants have also been given the ability to kick members from the Discord.

@everyone DEFCON 4 I am making this announcement today because I would like to be fair to all of you in the server currently. This message is for all, but I would like to specifically target the inactive members of this Discord server. To any of you people who are here just to be a member, this is not the community for you. To any of you people who are just here to have the [TFPD] or [SWAT] tag when you play TF2, this is not the community for you. To any of you people who are here thinking that if you are just a member you are somehow helping the community, this is not the community for you. We now have over 100 members on this discord, which means nothing. It means nothing because around 20-25 people actively contribute to this Discord server. If you do not believe me, just observe the amount of reactions in #deleted-channel. Out of all the things we ask for in this server, the absolute bare minimum is that you contribute to the Daily Report. And if you are out there thinking, "I do the daily reports, I just dont react to the message." How are we supposed to know that you are doing it then? So from now on if you get kicked from the server do to inactivity solely because of that reason, you have no one to blame but yourself. Some time, either later today or tomorrow, I will be implementing a system where people can log their time they spend in voice chat. As well as a place where you can send your in game reports.

Today I am proud to announce our latest partnership, the Association for the Documentation of Cheaters, (ADC) they are a group dedicated to tracking the movements of bots, major hackers and other forms of relevant intelligence. With their help we will have better knowledge of what servers & maps to hit as well as what time. I will post a link below of their server, but you will also be able to find it at any time in the #resources channel. That is all for today, thank you comrades. https://discord.gg/gqcSsWv (edited)

DEFCON 4 @Officer The poohook bots aren't as a big threat as what has been stated. There has been no solid evidence that has been shown that they have developed a bot that will take over Steam accounts or computers. Most importantly, it doesn't add up. The poohook Twitter is likely there to cause panic, similar to how the TF2 source code leak was simply a prank to drive panic into the TF2 community. TF2 and other Valve games are safe to play, and you are welcome to join any Casual or Competitive server. We'll be keeping an eye out on the account. Stay safe and have fun!

@everyone Good afternoon/evening fellow officers. As of the last two days, we've been having some complications with the creators of Poohook, who are said to have created an RCE for TF2 to take over computers and what not. We severely apologize for some of the announcements we have been giving out to TFPD that have been rather misleading, ranging from a DEFCON 1 announcement to a partnership revolving around these members. Today, we have decided to cut all ties regarding Poohook and deem it as miniscule threat. There has been no strong evidence as of now that shows that Poohook should be a threat. Their said plans continue to change and change, and they have been proven that they are manipulating/gaslighting TFPD members. We ask members who have joined their Telegrams or have been following Poohook to leave/distance themselves from the group in order to prevent any sort of manipulation or trolling. If you suspect that a member in the TFPD is part of Poohook, please refer to any staff member immediately. Have a good night and stay safe!

@everyone I am going to say this loud and clear for everyone to hear. The people of this sub reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/myg0t/, the people of this sub have finally had enough and are seeking legal action against those attacking them. So, to all of you people out there ddos'ing this groups website, your time has come. https://www.reddit.com/r/TF2hackerSWAT/comments/gxr7cb/to_those_who_ddosd_the_website_of_mygot/ In my mind, I believe it to be hackers seeking to use our name to get us in trouble with the law. However, if I ever find out that a trusted member of this community is preforming illegal acts in order to "get back" at the bots. Your time in the entire TF2 community is up. In the end, the people who did this know they are in trouble. By this time they are most likely seeking legal council, but this is to those still thinking this is some joke. It does not matter whether or not these people hack in your favorite videogame. You attack someone's private property, you are going to be screwed. Period. You aren't some elite hacker, you will be caught instantly and go to jail over TF2.

@everyone DEFCON 4 We are updating our privacy policy. We are now adding a new security feature to this Discord in order to help combat spies and raiders. 24 hours after this message gets posted all members are required to have their Steam account linked to their Discord. (Here is a video of how to do it https://youtu.be/5pRrIE2FT6w). All members who do not do this after the 24 hour time period is up will have all of their roles striped from them and will once again find themselves in #new-officers. However, we are also requiring that your Steam account be made public from here on out so admins and mods can see your Steam games and communities at any time. Steam accounts younger than three months will also not be accepted if they are linked to your Discord. Finally, if you are found to have privatized your Steam once you are passed the verification system again, you will again be brought back to #new-officers to be re-verified. All questions on this new system are to be brought to the @Chief of Police's and @Jampoint.
In this video we will see how to link your Steam account to Discord account. What is Discord? Discord is a freeware VoIP,Video Call and messaging application designed for gamers. Can't link steam to discord? Clear cache and cookies of web browser you are using or try another w...

The people involved in this have been punished and we are currently working to restore our relationship with ADC. #challenges will begin tomorrow! I would like to thank all of the people who made donations to help support the server. I will make sure that your support goes right back into the community. If you have not donated and are considering check out #donations-booth to maybe donate an extra weapon you don't use anymore or a hat you don't like. All donations go back into the community as prizes and payments. Check out @Woo's video about our community! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6lFbF-68AU
Today we dive deep into the r/TF2HackerPolice subreddit and take a look at some of the memes. Please don't take what I say in this video seriously! I admire that these people are trying to make the game a safer place, but seriously some of this stuff is just too funny. Go show...

@everyone DEFCON 4 But this is still very serious. Several people in this server have had their steam accounts stolen by scammers going around. These scammers pretend to be with Steam claiming to have a problem with your account in someway or another and demand that they need your login information. NEVER GIVE AWAY YOUR LOGIN INFORMATION! Steam will never DM you or even ask for personal information unless it is from an official email by the company. Giving away your information will lead to the loss of your account and even doxing of your information that you have on your account. Stay safe out there boys.

Other scam methods include: 1. Saying "I accidentally reported your account" and asking for personal details to 'fix' it 2. Discussing a trade deal and then having you turn in your items for ref and/or keys at a site you've most likely never seen before 3. DM's or ads promising 'free items'

Alright boys I gotta make a quick announcement (don't worry its not that serious). There have been a few residents of the server that have claimed to have been deeply upset by the amount of @ everyone's I put out. I do understand where they are coming from and that is why I make sure that when ever I use my @'s that they are messages that I want everyone to see. But my problem mostly comes from the people in the server who complain in chat like children how I ruined their day because I @ everyone'd. Some making really sad statements like how if the @ everyone's continued that they will leave the server. Just so everyone knows, I do kick people from the server that make those kinds of statements. If you cannot figure out our to configure notifications for specific channels and go crying about leaving that is 100% ok with me. If you do not care about certain @'s like #challenges you can set it so that you do not get any notifications from that channel. If you guys have any problems with this you can @me in general chat to talk about it. (edited)

@everyone We have just added two new google forums so now people can anonymously report people for breaking rules. You can find the two documents in #resources. Make sure to use the persons Discord ID (These are not spy reporting forums.)

@everyone DEFCON 2 Sorry for the very delayed update everyone but we wanted to make sure this was right before we mad a big announcement again. What we currently know now about the situation is that there is an RCE out there that is functional, but is locked behind a paywall for many people. Because of this, we have no idea how wide spread this is or how dangerous it is as our team is working night and day to try and crack through the passwords and get into the code to reverse engineer it. Many people have reported strange behaviors in servers where bots were present and entire teams of players would timeout of the game. We are unable to determine at the moment whether this is because of the RCE or something else. "What is the current status of me being able to play TF2?" Casual: Do not play Competitive: Almost positive that it is safe MvM: Almost positive that it is safe Community servers: Safe

@everyone DEFCON 2 Good morning everyone, unfortunately I have very sad and disturbing news to share with you all today. Last night a fellow officer,@Deezer0517, was attacked by CatHook's RCE. After joining a game with PooHook bots, the officers computer claimed to have detected malware attempting to gain access to his computer. Luckily the officer is safe and his computer was able to detect and stop the infestation before it could begin. However, this spells terrible news for TF2, as now we have undeniable confirmation that the RCE has been deployed. I highly encourage all people who have even played TF2 in the last week to check their computer for any signs of the infestation. Please tell your friends too about this because we still have no idea how wide spread the problem is. The following link is a list of all the programs that will detect the RCE if found on your computer: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/9b1ec8ba9d64662dc1cc05ba6c62047c8c1e889d36fa1ed4594ae7e977775713/detection Casual: Do not play Competitive: Almost positive that it is safe MvM: Almost positive that it is safe Community servers: Safe

@everyone I'm going to be honest guys. I'm pretty disappointed in quite a few of you. I understood that there was going to be some backlash and distrust by letting these guys into the server. I was ready for the panic, but no where near what actually happened. I was getting some crazy ass messages like "THEY HAVE FULL PERMS" (False) "OMG THE SERVER IS DEAD THEY GOT IT" (False) "WE ARENT GOING TO GET ANYTHING OR LEARN ANYTHING FROM THESE GUYS" (False). Some of you were even purposefully spreading false information which I expect a full apology in my DM's asap or I will ban you. I got more chaos from my own officers than the people who are actively damaging TF2 that I let into the server. Thee bot creators had a nice civil conversation with me, which I could not say the same for some of my staff and officers. To those guys who are screaming and trying to start chaos in #casual-chat or #deleted-channel (you know who you are) should truly be ashamed at themselves and see how extremely childish they were acting. Some of you are lucky that I have not banned you yet for your actions today. You all need to calm down and trust in me and the staff that we aren't just doing things off a whim here. If you have questions I am more than happy to answer them. I will not talk to the people who are typing in all caps or are accusing me of something like I want this server to die or be damaged in some way. I will be back with an announcement later today or tomorrow about the conversation we have with the bot creators.

@everyone DEFCON 3 After what happened yesterday, I am happy to report on some good news. After the bot creators (bc) came into the server yesterday to talk I am happy to say that we had some very nice and friendly conversation about the bots. Whether what they told us is entirely true is up for discussion but I would say that we were able to get a lot of important information from the talks. What major things did we learn: - The RCE was accidentally deployed resulting in two of the bot creators blue screening. Luckily the RCE was quickly shut down after about 2-3 minutes of it being active. If this is true, the actual spread of the RCE is truly devastating as an officer was hit by in in that 2-3 minute range. - The RCE is, supposedly, just a side project for the bc's and it was just added to the bots because they wanted to learn more by programming and just decided to add it to the bots. They claim that they have no intensions of actually deploying it again, though one did jokingly said that they would again (take that with a grain of salt.) Casual: Exercise Extreme Caution Competitive: Safe MvM: Safe but be on the look out Community servers: Safe As I side note I would like to thank the servers new server booster, @ThatCactus! We greatly appreciate all of our server boosters as they help us add cool new stuff to the server that we otherwise would not have.

@everyone DEFCON 2 Unfortunately, I am going to have to retract my statement that I made yesterday about the RCE. While the bot creators that we brought into the server may not have the RCE active and deployed someone with the code does. Early this morning officer @Logitech speakers was hit by the RCE shortly after playing casual TF2 with myg0t bots. He managed to take a screenshot of the text that had popped now confirming once and for all that the RCE does exist and is working. Although officer Deezer was hit by the same RCE a few days earlier some met the claim with skepticism as there was no concrete proof like a screen shot. I will be posting the screenshot shortly after this post. I would also like to bring to your attention that myg0t bots are now able to play in competitive, I was playing comp last night and saw it for myself. This could also mean that there is a huge likelihood that MvM may no longer be safe either. Casual: Do not play Competitive: Do not play MvM: Exercise Extreme Caution Community servers: Safe

I'm still trying to make sure the RCE is real/fake, This is just annoying when people just goes out of their way to say "LOOK ITS REAL I HAVE A MALWAREBYTES PROMPT" when there's been false positive for many anti-malware software/services, Unless you can give proof that something has happened, give an actual demonstration of something weird from within the game (and not just a weird pop-up and nothing happening) then don't post it. (Also the IPs that malwarebytes says for outbound means HL2.exe only means it connected to a server/ip that MB has blacklisted, which happens with TF2 for years now) (edited)

@everyone DEFCON 5 Good afternoon everyone. I think we can safely say that we have had a pretty crazy week with the RCE and all. After the posts I made on Reddit several people had gotten in contact with me and was able to explain everything that is going on with the RCE. I am not experienced in reading code so I had to rely on other people to try and explain in to me. The screenshot that I had shown you guys in this channel yesterday is apparently not the RCE, but rather something that normally pops up when scanning certain files on malware detecting programs. So, to put it in other terms, the RCE has not actually hit or attacked any members of this PD. While I do believe in what the bot devs have told me about them creating an RCE, I do not believe it is actually active or being used by someone. However, if you genuinely believe your computer to be under attack by an RCE or malware coming from TF2 please talk to @Link2006 about your problems. Starting today I want to end the fear of the RCE that has been looming over this community for too long. We cannot be living in constant fear of an attack by the RCE much like how we should not worry about nuclear war all day long. Instead of constantly worrying about what the bot creators are doing, we will be focusing on us (the community) for a while. So be ready for some cool additions to the community like a monthly newspaper, community servers, an upgrade to the Discord server, and much much more! So with that I am happy to announce: Casual: Safe Competitive: Safe MvM: Safe Community servers: Safe

Go to the community tab 2. Go to favorites 3. Then add server 4. Type IP and port with ( : ) symbol before port number 5. Finally add server to favorites so you can easily find it in the future. arcticsgameservers.ddns.net:28015

@everyone I would also like to mention that starting soon, regular payments will be needed in order to join the server in the future. Nothing to crazy, but unfortunately things do cost money in order to operate. If you would like to pay in metal, here are your options: Day pass: 1 scrap metal Week pass: 2 combined metal (14% off) Month pass: 3 refined metal (10% off) @videogamer15678 also has a patreon if you would like to donate in cash. You can find the life time pass in there. https://www.patreon.com/Arcticsgameserverhosting

@everyone Hello one and all, I have a few things to cover today First of all, the Data Centre is up and running, and we're ready to get it started. Being in the server, you are expected to work on providing and compiling data. If you join the server but then continue to be inactive or not contribute to the archive, you will find yourself kicked very quickly. However, people that buckle down and constantly provide useful info will be rewarded via better roles both on the Data Centre and TFPD, and possibly actual payment in the form of Refined Metal or even Keys. Secondly, the TF2 may be up soon. We're testing new anti-ddos methods and as of now, they are proving to be effective. When the server is up and running we'll be giving people a week of free access, but afterwards we'll be charging Metal for access to the server. The Minecraft server will continue to be free access. Day pass: 1 Reclaimed metal Week pass: 1 Refined metal Month pass: 3 Refined metal

@everyone To anyone still unaware, Turtalia has decided to step down as leader. We've had a full discussion with him, and it is confirmed he will not be returning. Placing me as the new leader and owner of the TFPD, I will be making small tweaks to the rules and how #council works. We will also be reworking how Patrols work I apologize profusely for the rollercoaster that the last few days have been, and even more so if you were caught directly in the crossfire. We are working together to make this server a better place.

@everyone We've reworked the patrol system. Sergeants are now expected to lead patrols frequently, and will alert everyone on @Standby when they're starting a patrol. If you want to be notified when a patrol is happening, go to #patrol-announcements and go to @Mini Sentry's message (It's in the pinned messages if you can't see it) If you are a Sergeant, you are also responsible for forming the patrol reports which must be in-depth with the number of matches done, the maps you found the bots on, party members and so on.

@everyone I hope you're having a good day/night. First of all, I've consigned our least active members to the @Deputy role, these people are: @Shadowdodoty, @patrick l'étoile de mer, @Fizzycoco214, @Archie, @Abused Angel, @Bobby(Communist Pikachu), @wii smA+sh brawl purin main, @=𝒲𝐿= αƈɾ² (𝕊𝕡𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕕), @Lovelock the Great, @Mr.Harkinian, @Garfunkle, @eLsir, @The Calcium King, @fine shot, mate, @Դոմինիկ, @stupid_cake, @Scott Vards | TFPD, @Broomstick, @BobRoss1021 & @Isabelle (H.O.O.V.Y) With this new population of Deputies, I'm going to be installing a new effect that was accepted but never came around to being enforced. Deputies can no longer exist passively on the server, to stay a member of the TFPD and eventually become an Officer they will have to contribute by attending Patrols. To simply stay on the server, Deputies are expected to go on a patrol at least once a week. Not meeting the quota, the Deputy will be become a @Visitor and will be able to become a Deputy again after a week has passed. If they fail to meet the quota again, the allocated time as a Visitor will be a fortnight. (2 Weeks) The third time will be a permanent consignment.
