I've recently had a run-in with a player using Clumsy to get an increased latency. From my understanding the software can capture/lag/drop/tamper packets on demand. Would this be something that should be allowed?

Couldnt find info if links were allowed or not, but you can easily find clumsy on github, jagt/clumsy.

From my understanding its detected by battleye and has been used to gain unfair advantages in other games, but what about bf4?

Thanks for your help

Why would one use it, if there is no benefit? If ya use 3rd party software to gain an advantage, its cheating. Even some well known Brand features are bannable, like crosshair overlay (in HC) and the visualization of sound, which was meant for deaf ppl.

He said so in all chat on our server. Seems afew regulars had noted his change in ping earlier. I banned on the basis of "if it doesnt give an advantage, why bother?" but we later unbanned under the promise of him not using it anymore. The player has a history of commenting on netcode (excuses). 

I didnt bother with adding an image URL, but this is the chat when i first noticed it

"
 It is the "NET-CODE" evening out all player latencies.
My game is just shitty as hell when playing with 7ms.
I delay all IP traffi. 
Also the IP addres or just all traffic.
You just give in the amount of msecs to delay and how much packet drops.
If I was still on Discord I could explain. Google for "clumsy" opensource app.
Increasing my ping now .....
Should I increase it to the best ping of 45ms
Still playing with 7ms ping :((((
"

as far as i know "clumsy" only tempers with data that goes out to the server, not the one that the PC recieves.

But if he stopped using it, its fine i guess..

Any BF4DB admin have anything to say about this?

Don't worry, they will ban you anyway. And if you try to appeal, they will only reply when you are asleep and close your ticket in under 8 hours. After the ticket is closed, they will silence you on the Discord server.

They never reviewed my case twice and just talked down to me, saying that I'm a cheater. However, if you check my Steam profile, you'll see that I have been clean for 9 years with no VAC bans. I really love playing Battlefield 4 and would love to play again.

I hope you don't get banned just because you're asking.
