Minecraft Name: Dr_Dragon_Slayer Suggestion: I think that there should be a type of staff member that can watch survival games and record any potential hacking/exploiting/etc. They could then post this video onto the forums on a private/public thread (maybe only staff team can access the thread as to not spam up the complaints thread) to be analyzed by fellow staff members. Reason: I've seen many people complain of hackers/exploiters but not be able to record them due to low fps rates during recording or not being able to download the recording software etc. If we had a certain staff member who would be willing to watch a few games of SG a day, it would make less hackers in SG. I know not everyone hacks but there is a small percentage of people that do, and this would be a great step toward getting rid of that percentage. This could really just be a new type of staff member to apply for, being a [SurvivalGamesMod] Or something like that. You would have a few powers that could ONLY be put in effect inside the survival games arena. I have no idea what those commands might be... but as this goes along it would be figured out. This would be a deterrent for people to hack. These SG watchers would also be invisible to the players as to not disrupt the game. Other information: None Link to this Plugin: I am terrible with plugins but maybe you could code the /vanish plugin with joining SG? Automatically when you join it would be /v = true or something? As you can see I probably know nothing about plugins, so I bet Khobbits or JamieSinn will come and help me out!
Not a bad idea, but this will never, I mean never be implemented. The thing is, is that anybody can post a Hacking complaint, and every single one of them is dealt with. There is no need for this rank.
I know anyone can post a hacking complaint. I could post one right now. Most likely though, the person will not get approved because they do not have video evidence. If a staff member doesn't see evidence, they can't really do anything else besides say they need to post some videos/screenshots/etc. This will also deter hackers from even trying to play SG.
But it's not fair for somebody to get banned without evidence. These "SG Moderators" would need to collect evidence as well, just like any other player.
I don't think you understand... these moderators take video evidence then post the evidence on the forums to be analyzed. They have absolutely no banning powers, just the ability to fly around in sg, while invis, and record other players. They then post evidence on a ban report or something and unknownrider would analyze it. I apologize if I confused you in any way at all.
I understand 100%. However, there is no need for this due to the fact that anybody can submit a complaint.
She has a point. Users can already freely post a complaint on the forums, and it would be just the same as an 'SG Mod' filming and then posting it on the forums. [EDIT] There's nothing more that we can do to prevent the amount of hackers in SG; even though the numbers are ridiculous.
-1 Anyone can submit a complaint. If anything I would like to see more experts look at the hacker complaint videos. To take the huge work load off of unknown.
+1! I don't like the [SurvivalGamesModerator] but I'd prefer [SGMod]! I think this would be up to Andrews discretion as it's not needed but would be a nice addition!
Not needed at all. You can easily go into an SG match, be killed by someone you think is hacking. Find them again in another SG arena, and record them. This isn't necessary, at all. -1
People frequently think that people are hacking recently after every time they die. Of course sometimes the may of hacked but the truth is such a small amount of people hack in sg. We don't need special mods for sg hackers we already have unknown.
exactly I'm yet to see a sg hacked post that actually looks something like hacks this month. (I've looked at alot.)
Everyone that plays sg takes on the role of a sg mod. As unbearably annoying as it is to see the hacker witchhunt that is consistently barraging the complaints subforum, I would much rather see players take it upon themselves to report anything if they truly believe a player is using illegal clients. -1
or just give a supermod the power to spectate SG and record it and then providing the evidence to the GAs handling hacking complaints. i dont think a new rank is necesary
What's the ratio? 1:50? It's such a small percentage. I have seen you file plenty of hacker complaints that are successful, and I thank you for that, but if you file one complaint a day for the hundreds of players who play SG, SG isn't filled with hackers.
