The current report system of hackers isn't working. The fact that you have to go on a forum page to report every single hacker you see on the server is outrageous, especially when there is a hacker at least every two games that you play. Why can't you guys add a simple system where reporting someone in-game sends a notification to a mod? With this, the server can at least ban really obvious hackers. I'm not asking for really high-end anti-cheats like the Lunar Client or expecting the mods to screen share suspicious players. However, at least a baseline anti-cheat which can ban people who are using a static auto clicker or obvious reach/speed would help greatly. Just watch some staff series for HCF and you guys will know what I'm talking about. Staff Series Example:
Hey! This idea has been recommended before but it wouldn't work as we lack the most important moderation tool in skywars, which is force joining on-going games or in general join specific skywars games. We have to just like every other play join skywars and hope we end up in the same game as the hacker. Sometimes it takes me 3-4 games just to finally be in the same game. We also don't have any vanish commands so sometimes hackers leave and I have to get my alt account on which takes another 3-4 games to get into a game with them. Especially with the high amount of hackers, /report would be extremely flooded. It cannot be added until staff members can properly spectate Minigames by joining on-going Minigames or a specific game with the hacker. As for screen-shares, we do have a freeze system. However, it does not work in Minigames, it's only available on sub-servers.
I hope you understand that if this was ever implemented then the amount of notifications that the staff would be getting would be insane! Every single player that someone sees and thinks are hacking would be reported and it would just be a big mess. The current report system works quite well, besides the lack of staff members on the team. You can just record and upload a video of the hacker and fill out the report and as soon as a staff member sees the report, they can punish the player. The point of this is because it gives evidence, which a /report system would not. There wouldn’t be enough staff members online for the mass amounts of /reports that would be coming in. Some people like having the authority and the ability to give evidence and get hackers banned straight away as soon as a staff member sees it. There is currently no way for a staff member to join a hacker’s on-going game. There is also no way for a staff member to /vanish in a game so most hackers that are smart, will TAB to see if there is a staff member in their game and then if so, leave straight away. I do not ever see this being implemented, apologies. Have a lovely day!
I've been looking at staff catches hackers for years. If I become staff and they have vanish, i'm trying to make that kind of content messing with hackers and then banning them like maverick and doni bobes. But that's after I learn as a helper and mature more as a person in general. Love the idea.
Really nice idea, there are free plugins for this with a gui of options you can pick from, very simple to use and with the enormous staff team we have, I don't see backlogging of reports being an issue.
youre really referring to free plugins as your answer? these people have a whole development team and youre referring to free plugins. ok bro
I think everyone else has already summed up my points, but I did want to add that a /report command would be very easily abused, and false reports would take up a ton of the staff team's time. By asking players to record some evidence and reporting the player on the forums, the reports team can easily access and review reports.
This gets brought up every couple of days. I do usually type in a giant paragraph of the pros and cons but a lot of people have summed it up. I for sure would like /report to be added, and just the people who abuse it be punished just like how chatreports are at the moment. It truly wouldn't be that hard to take care of. We could even put it in "beta" and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, then fine. If it does, then that's good too.
