| I have finally had a good crack at a project i've had in mind for a long time, the steamid database. I mainly did it to learn a bit of php and creating something useful and interesting to me allows me to stay motivated for 30 minutes while trying to hunt down a missing bracket or a typo!
It's not completely finished, the uploading might be a bit sus and security measures still need to be put in place to prevent some nasty hacks but for the moment its quite usable. You can find the database here.
If you register and login you will also get a menu where you can submit steamids that isn't available if you do not have an account. I have done what I can as far as filling the db with as many genuine steamid's as I could find but ultimately the usefulness of the system is up to you to get together id's 'we' don't have and submit them in. If you're a legit player and would like to be registered as such you can submit yourself with no demo attached and I will pass you into the db when i next check the admin section. Furthermore you can submit other players who are legit as well, if you would like to help out filling out the db.
Please keep in mind that this isn't a ban system nor a way to keep track of specific players. It is a LIST of steamid's and their status, the alias is most likely who owns the account but there is no status imposed upon that person, just the account.
Submitting cheat demos will allow everyone to keep track of players history, not as it is now players returning in a few months and denying any wrong doing after being caught. Hopefully the list will not attract any controversy, steamid's will only be listed as cheats in the most obvious of cases. The list will accept 'catches' who are caught by anticheat systems, such as octinium/novacap, CMN or by a genuine review system that includes a demo for our reference.
So there should be a few updates in the coming days, i will integrate it somehow onto the front page so it's easier to get to but until then happy hunting!.
