So now there are 2 things that rule the internet.

Godwins law

And

Backfire effect


In all seriousness though. Alot of people have had their views swayed when they observe an argument instead of participating in it. You might never win but you can still get people on your side.

allow TL.net to refute your theory:

1) They can detect every maphack that uses a DX Hook

2) Unlike AntiVir programs and file operations, there are only very few reasons for any program to use DX Hooks, so for AntiVir programs 99% of the cases are ok, for DX Hooks in SC2, 99% of the cases are not. This is why in AntiVir programs, blacklists are ok while for SC2 and DX Hooks, whitelists are the correct choice.

Example:
You know you only recieve E-Mails from 5 persons/websites/companies, but you get a few hundred spam emails a day. Would you rather whitelist the 5 persons and have everything else land in a "spam" folder or blacklist every single mail address that does not belong to those 5 entities?

3) Having a banned account is not comparable with being in prison.


1) they can detect every Program that use a dx hook you mean...

2) there are many program who use this. like video players.

example: I will never get a new costumer in my life because he get blocked.
Looks like a very bad idea to use a whitelist. i never heard of a email whitelist in my life and in working in this businesses.


You seem to not have understood what DX Hooks are. No Videoplayer uses DX Hooks. Not a single one. They sometimes use DirectX Rendering, but thats (almost) completely unrelated. They don't change the output of other applications.

There are about a dozen programs that use DX Hooks for valid reasons, all others are usually maphacks, wallhacks and other such programs.

Checked it, informed myself. Your right! I should do more research in the frist run.

Still i think a whitelist is to strong because a false positive is just to bad in any scan-procedure.


+rep

You are the first person ever on the internet to change their opinion. CONGRATULATIONS Humanity is evolving! Have many many children for evolution sake please.

You're rapping about homosexuals and Vicodin, I can't sell this sh*t.

In my experience, it seems like most arguments on the internet are more about trying to assert social dominance and impress third parties than actually trying to persuade one's adversary.

well said, well said. The social dominance part is rather sad though.

One important point about arguing on the internet, atleast in my eyes, is that you are not trying to convince the person you talking to, but rather the other people reading the argumentation. If you havent seen "Thank you for smoking", do it naow!

Intersting read btw, thanks op.
