/report (playername) (Hack Used)

[_Reevesdrums_]

The idea behind this command is simple, If you are in a game and you see a hacker or die because of one, you can type /report (hack-used).



For example, if I'm playing on au1 and someone walks on water,
I can type
"/report johnthehacker123 waterwalking"

a message appears on my screen
"Are you sure you want to report johnthehacker123 for waterwalking? Any false accusations are a ban-able offence. Type /confirmReport to confirm"

I type
"/confirmReport"

If there are mods in the hub I will then recieve the message
"thank you for your report, If possible, please also record evidence of the player hacking and post it on the forums under report abuse as moderators may be busy and are not available to or obliged to help at all times"

Otherwise I will receive the message
"Sorry No Moderators are available at this time"



Any mods in the lobby will the recieve the message
"Aarg0 reports hacker johnthehacker123 using waterwalking in AU 1, Join game?"

The mod can then type
"/yes" or "/no"

This command can only be used once per game, and is only for offences with modified clients, not for abusive language. The reason for this is that it would be used too frequently if it was for verbal abuse. The advantage over just entering the hub and talking to a mod, is that you can still be alive in game to report the player





Does this sound useful to you?
Could it be improved in any way?

It's a good idea except there will be problems regarding false accusations. Some people might think it's hacks but it actually isn't. If that person gets mad a lot and expects many people hack he will probably get banned for false accusations down the track.

Too exploitable, maybe with some tweaks it's a possibility.

Yeah, thats why it says "are you sure" if your not sure then don't use it If you've used it a lot and it turns out none of your accusations are correct, you could lose access to it or something
Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah but take this scenerio:

You have been playing for 3 hours straight and are getting no luck. Every game you die by the stupidest reason.
You are finally having some good luck, you have all the loot you need. Someone extremely more skilled thea you shows up, swiftly kills you without a sweat. You are going to think it's hacks. You want this guy gone and your anger is effecting your decisions. So your report him.

Things like that happen all the time. Mods would never get a break, just spam in the chat of people making false accusations.

Would you mind elaborating so I can try improve it

So far all it really does is tell a mod in the hub if a player is convinced another player is hacking, the mods can choose to ignore the alert if they want to, and if they feel a player is abusing it, they could revoke access to the player,

or if they are using it just to annoy the mod, even ban/kick the player depending on the severity of the actions

This ill swamp staff with accusations, a lot will be just people abusing the system, because they are angry or wanna troll someone. This has been suggested many times over and been declined each time.

Like others posted beforehand: Exploitable.

Like my games go like this:

Lobby: Billa your a stupd haxor

Pre-game: Bill how u get off your podium haxor

In-game: Bills hit me with a sword when. He ain't good at dat, haxor

Pre-Deathmatch: Billabong u kills my temmate u hack

Deathmatch: Stahp hazing beela69

Endgame (I win): The only piece and quite I get to myself which lasts for 5 seconds.

They'd report me over and over.
