So if there's a hacker, you can either:
I pose a few methods of contacting mods without leaving the game:
Each person with this [Rank] will have 3 strikes, if they use the /command for any reason other than reporting someone, if they report someone who is clearly not hacking for spiteful reasons etc. they will get a strike. 3 strikes and the [Rank] is revoked. However, as sometimes it can seem someone is using aura when in fact they've just got god-like ping, this could cause a few incorrect strikes--so 1 strike would be deleted every 30 days so long as they don't get another strike in those 30 days.
Having a rank makes people feel important, it's a status thing let's be honest. By implementing this idea, you're then incentivising more and more people to record and report people. This will not only get rid of more hackers, but will also aid with the learning of correct report-formatting.
Having people with this [Rank] would then allow senior mods to scout people who they think seem trustworthy and mature so they can refer them to admins. Admins may then ask them to send an application in/go straight to an interview if the person of whom was referred wanted to become a mod. If this works out, you could then change the entire application process to this (first have 50 reports accepted with 70% acceptance rate, then report to current mods and after a month of consistent, accurate reports you get an interview/get the mod rank).
2. A Discord server with mods online so you can get in contact
Have different channels for different game modes so you can click the "egg wars" channel and report someone that is cheating in your game of egg wars.
This idea is corresponds with my first idea. You can give ranks/titles to people on Discord and then only allow those people to type in the chat. If this idea was implemented and mods found a surplus of people writing in the chat with incorrect formatting e.g. "there's a hacker in my game!" as opposed to "fly hacks & aura in /eggwars-5" (I'm not sure how to determine which server you're on whilst in-game so the formatting is probably wrong) then yeah, they can just set it to only allow people with the rank to write in the Discord server.
Long story short, we need to be able to contact mods
I can't think of any good names for the [Rank] so if you like my idea and agree, feel free to leave suggestions
- Deal with it and try your hardest not to put your first through your monitor (also potentially record and report)
- Leave the game, find a mod and tell them the server number in hopes that they'll go and ban them
- Private message your friend who's conveniently a mod (but not many of us have this privilege, including myself)
I pose a few methods of contacting mods without leaving the game:
- A new [Rank] which gives access to a /command that will send a message to a staff member online (my thought process would be to send a clickable invite to the lobby to 3 mods in the same game mode, the first to accept will be tp'd). The rank will be a reward to players who:
- Have 50+ accepted reports
- Have a 70%+ report acceptance rate
