I think players should be awarded 500 bounty points or more for catching hackers and reporting them on the forums, this would in-courage players to Record hackers! Also if you recorded a hacker and they end up getting banned the hacker should be able to see who got him banned.(Optional). For example, if I got a hacker banned it would say for the hacker " Banned for 7 days by Brandon6895" or something like that! :D thanks for reading :)

*EDIT* Maybe there can be some kind of Hacker LeaderBoards, so when you get a hacker banned it will go on some kind of statistics, for example it will say Brandon6895 has banned 10 hackers. Something like that! :D

I had reported around 150 people before I became a moderator, about 50 of them would have been hackers. That means I would have got 25000 bounty just from that.

The 'seeing who banned you' is also a big no-no, due to the amount of harassment you could give to the person who banned a player.

If hackers knew who got them banned it would lead to exessive ammounts of harrasment from the banned players to the one who reported them, beleive me... you doint want that. ;)
Getting a hacker banned should be enough reward.


Plus... as much as getting bounty would encourage people to catch more hackers.... it still would be unfair, not everybody can record.

Bounty point additions for getting hackers banned isn't really necessary as people are already willingly reporting without that factor: a bounty plus might lead to false reports in hope of bounty pluses.

Like The Arena Master said, people would try and report as much as possible, leading to many fake reports. Also I'm sure this is not what the Devs are focusing on at this time.

We want our bans to be precise and carefully dealt with. If we gave the community a reward for these bans it would inspire those to look for hackers more leading to unfair bans.

It would encourage so many people though if you were to give them a reward, doesn't need to be a bounty reward.

You should be happy knowing that you did something good for the server. This promotes greed. 2/10 would not recommend.

Just saying, why do people care about points! They're not important! Lots of people ignore hackers but I don't think points would encourage them to film them.
