Hacker Patrol

[Misphire]

*Ok, now before I start, I would like to say that this is an idea that started on Vikkcraft, so I decided to bring this to MCG. Shout out to the person who thought of this wonderful idea .*

As we all know, the hackers on MCG are INSANE! They are terrible when you try getting your big win milestone and they just mess it all up. So what should we do? Record it! I know what you're probably thinking, "Oh, recording hackers is just a waste of my time. Screenshots? I'll just ignore them." Haha, but no. If you are going to get mad over a hacker, at least try to get rid of him. Some people think "Oh just leave it to the moderators." Some Mods do not have the time to join all 200 games just to find out where the hackers are. And some people still blame the staff saying they don't do anything about the hackers and such. But you have to do your part. I do have to admit, I do the same and I barely record any hackers. But I am going to create a system so people will be motivated to help out.

When you report and ban the number of hackers on this list, reply below and show proof by taking screenshots of staff telling you that the player has been banned. I hope this idea works and get back to playing MCSG!

Please do not leave hate. If my idea is not how you like it, please suggest ways to fix it.

I like this idea! I am not even a bystander yet, because I have only caught 2 hackers.

No just no.

Im not replacing the MCG system, it's just another option that people can use whichever they prefer.

I like this idea.

 

[Bamber]

Well, technically we don't know what happened to them, as we're not told whether they're banned or not. ^_^

But if this includes those "dealed with" posts, then I've got about 10 I think. If this includes calling mods on TS to come and help, I would easily have over a hundred or more.


(too lazy to look for proof, just take my word for it )

Yeah this thread is still new so I believe you

No, no, no.

I'm sorry I immediately jumped to the conclusion that this idea isn't going to work in the community. I'd just like to mention that I had suggested a sort of reward system for reporting hackers a while back, and it got shot down pretty much instantly...for good reason.

I'll just sum it up in a few words; people are going to want to report a lot of hackers, which means that they may even report people just because they think they're hacking, and don't really pay attention to if they actually were because they want to get their count raised. In the end, this is just going to cause a mass amount of false reports that the poor senior staff have to filter through. People are going to want to consistently pump out reports, and since there are a finite amount of hackers that someone can find over a certain period of time, it's inevitable that some (or many) of them are false accusations.

And come on guys, your reward for successful reporting hackers should just be the satisfaction knowing there's one less rule breaker on the server we all love, but obviously there seems to be an insatiable crave for rewards and recognition.

One last thing; I think the staff want to keep the banning of hackers a private thing, and someone can easily crop the screen and photoshop a picture that resembles the approval that they would receive without it being legitimate.

Ok I see. Hopefully people wont abuse it too much.

It's inevitable that some people will abuse it in the end.
I feel kind of selfish about giving criticism and not formulating a replacement option, but I'll think about a possible solution and let you know.
