Hi Reddit.
Lately I saw a video with a guy running a third party software that draw a dot in the middle of the screen.
I personally now have no idea if this is an OK thing or a bannable offence, and i would like to understand..
Thanks in advice

If you want to have a crosshair 100% undetected, get a whiteboard marker and draw one.
If I drew a dot on my screen with a marker no one would know but me. So I don't believe it should be bannable.
It’s not bannable but it’d be better if you didn’t use crosshair overlays
Most newer monitors come with a crosshair overlay. I couldn't imagine it's detectable. Hell anyone could take a dry erase marker and dot the center of the screen.
If its a built in monitor setting then I doubt it could be detected and banned. If it's 3rd party software then it can be detected and possibly banned - I wouldn't risk it. Either way, it is cheating and a scummy thing to do.
If it were built into the monitor it wouldn’t show up in a stream or video.
Yeah you are right, but I think OP was asking if crosshairs in general are bannable. Either way I specified that built in monitor settings are almost certainly undetectable and thus bannable whereas 3rd party software crosshairs are likely detectable and bannable.
Third party software you can probably use, but if it gets detected somehow then that's on you.
You can accomplish the same exact thing by placing a dot on the center of your screen.
Not bannable. People get banned because they download a large cheat package and only use the crosshair function.
They aren't ban-able but they are highly frowned upon. ADS is better, easier to control and a crosshair will only obscure targets at range.
Having said that - if someone uses dodgy 3rd party software to get an overlay, it could be picked up as cheat software by accident.
Cross hair overlays are for losers
It's not an answare to my question, I can agree, but how I see someone else nailing, having few not ADS aim penality, it result like an unfair advantage..
