====== Understanding Our Anti-Cheat Mechanism ======

Our server employs a unique and robust **Anti-Cheat mechanism** to ensure fair play and maintain the integrity of the gaming experience. This article provides insights into how our system operates while adhering to strict confidentiality regarding its inner workings.

===== Key Features of Our Anti-Cheat Mechanism =====

  * **Non-Public Design**: Unlike most Valheim servers that rely on publicly available Anti-Cheat software, our mechanism is entirely proprietary. There is no publicly accessible information or source code regarding how it functions.

  * **Confidential Monitoring**: The specific aspects monitored by our server are strictly confidential and will never be disclosed to anyone, ensuring that potential exploiters remain unaware of what is being tracked.

  * **Comprehensive Logging**:
    - **Admins (Thanes)**: Even administrators using admin commands are flagged and logged by the Anti-Cheat system. This ensures full accountability and transparency for all activities on the server.
    - **Non-Admins**: Non-admin players detected engaging in prohibited behavior are logged and **instantly banned** from our servers. This immediate action helps maintain a fair environment for all players.

===== Why Confidentiality Matters =====

Revealing details about what the server monitors or how the Anti-Cheat mechanism functions would compromise its effectiveness. By keeping these specifics private, we reduce the risk of exploitation and ensure that our system remains a step ahead of potential cheaters.

===== Commitment to Fair Play =====

Our goal is to foster a gaming community where players can enjoy a level playing field. The Anti-Cheat system is a cornerstone of this commitment, ensuring that rule-abiding players can thrive without interference from those who seek unfair advantages.

For any questions or concerns regarding the Anti-Cheat mechanism or its operation, please reach out to the server administrators.

**Note:** Attempts to bypass or undermine the Anti-Cheat system will result in permanent bans and potential exclusion from future participation in our community.
