I think option 1 seems viable, I completely see what you are saying and agree with it :)

 

I agree :)

 

I agree. Even if you dont hack your reputation is damaged forever. A good example would be Oink_Oink who is a great pvper, but because people post dumb complaints against him everyone thinks he hacks.

 

I was thinking about suggesting this however I realized that we didn't necessarily want people to stop making hacking complaints, because maybe they will be right about someone at some point. Most complaints are dismissed due to lag.

 

I agree with idea 1, but they should be made public once proven guilty.

 

I think we should all just put our big boy pants on and end this witch hunt that's made the forums (as entertaining as it can be) unbearably spammed with unnecessary complaints. Unfortunately, a majority of the ECC population is made up of constantly butthurt little kids, so I suppose this will have to do. +1

 

I agree with this.

 

Yes. The complaints should go private, and then open them up to the public once/ if they are found guilty. So +1!

 

I agree that they should be private. There's no reason for anyone other than staff to see them. I wouldn't have a problem with the current system if people actually applied common sense to their videos and only posted them if there was some actual signs of hacking instead of the useless crap we've seen lately.

 

+1

 

I agree with kuke's proposal its plausible. After the case is closed the case can then be made public.

Idea 2 is not a good idea because I don't think ignoring evidence is very smart in any case.

+1/-1

 

1+

 

I am going to -1 this
Yes I know I have failed numerous times to catch hackers. However if you don't want to read them don't look at them. Simple as that.

 

That is NOT what we are getting at. It ruins peoples reputations, forever. One simple search and everyone is calling someone a hacker, even if not convicted.

 

I disagree. Honestly when a complaint gets denied people say: "wow he is so good he looks like a hacker! even though he isn't!"
Thats what happened to oink

 

Sometimes, and then there are people like you who file unnesscary "hacking" complaints and get people a bad reputation, even if someone doesn't read the complaint. Simple as reading the title and being like "Oh sorry, no I won't trade / play / whatever with you because you have a complaint against you." even if they didn't read the final verdict. Hell, if I searched and someone had a complaint within the last 3 months I wouldn't even consider doing big trades or deals until I could research much further and waste the person's time.

 

@Aqqel - I am curious to know if you actually understand this suggestion? :p

 

lol nope :p guess I read it wrong derp... Sorry @BLTwitch
