Hello all.
While playing about an hour ago I came across a player who seemed to be cheating. He was using a Scout primarily and would nail headshots on players whom he was not aiming at. When I noticed the behavior, I switched to spectator and watched closely. Eventually, I was kicked from the server for being a spectator for too long (annoyingly), but I believe I gathered enough evidence to convince a TD admin to do the honors.
After I got kicked, I watched the demo again. This time, slowing the playback as much as possible whenever I knew the player was about to take a shot. With 1 exception, every time he took a shot with the scout while his target's head was visible, the bullet would fly off center (in some cases, extremely) and hit the target in the head. The one exception I mention is when the player actually got a headshot that he earned (crosshairs were actually on the target's head).
I then proceeded to do what I usually do in this situation, and paid a visit to the stats page to search for and find the player's page. However, after spending 25 minutes searching, I was unable to find this player. I'm now kicking myself for not doing a "status" command in the console while I recorded the demo.
I did find several players that went by the name 0 (thats the number by the way), but none of them fit the bill. All but one had an activity rating of less then 100%, and the only person who was active enough to be the culprit hasn't used that name in over 3 days.
Regardless, I'd like someone to take a look at the demo for verification purposes. Maybe one of you will know how to find this player's information. Possibly, by going though the server's logs? I don't know...
Instead of PMing the demo to an admin like I was doing previously, I'll just post the link right here for all interested to see. Let me know if you agree that this player is hacking, and if you have any idea how to figure out who the player is. Thanks.

Note: Use Shift+F2 to bring up the playback window for demos. You can slowdown or speed up the demo's playback with this window. Unfortunately, you can't rewind, so instead, use the GoTo command to jump to a certain Tick number. Press the GoTo button once to rewind the demo to the beginning, and then again to jump to the intended tick number.
