Escalated Add a message when someone has been a banned in a game by a staff member.

[Deleted member 469419]

The suggestion is really simple itself, I'm proposing that when some staff member ban someone while is in game, it should be a message like "[BANHAMMER] The player Player1 has been banned for cheating or abuse"

Sometimes it's difficult to know if someone has been punished or not, you have to look into small details like a message which appear under the "Couldn't fly" - "12 players still remain alive" that's mean that someone has been kicked from the server or just has left (I didn't know this until few days ago)

That's make unnecessary to some staff members to say "Already punished/Banned..." and also it gives prestige to staff team, players have to see (stone players which cannot report) that you all are active with /reports.

I don't really see this as a necessity, but I guess if Sentinel is flashy with its bans then why not give the Mods the same kind of pizzazz. It couldn't hurt. +1

 

[Dutchyyy]

I've considered making this thread too and I still like this idea. +1

 

[Keanu]

Yes, this might increase the respect moderators get as well since people can see we actually ban people. Esclated!

 

[ItzJqlmer]

Yes I like this. Sometimes im recording a hacker but suddenly a message show up: player died. I am always thinking shoud I report him or do I need to check the appeals site.

I'm not sure about the tag Banhammer, but I like the idea!
Since it's now [Sentinel] maybe just something like [MODS] [Moderation team]?

Yeah it would give credit, but if someone is false banned and other players know it, it could bring alot of hate towards the staff member. I've seen many of my friends get banned by sentinel and we get mad at that, but it doesnt get affected as it is a machine. If staff got the hate sentinel gets cause of its false bans it would be a bad spot for staff to be in.

"Basketman13 Slammed "Player1" Off the court. He has to wait 30 days now before he gets playtime again!"

I think that's doesn't matter, if you're banned by sentinel while you're playing, all players who are in the game will know it, so why not by the staff team?

Yeah, it could be other option, but, I do prefer what I've proposed xD

Good idea though!

Tells the position of hidden staff. Especially harmful in games like Assassins and FFA. But it can honestly be harmful in all games, including Skywars when staff is spectating cheater but does not manage to get to teamers before they stop teaming, etc.

Staff can post a message when they wish, I would prefer it staying like that.

Yeah, that's could be a problem, I haven't think on it... o_O

Perhaps it could be hidden for the reported people?

For example, if someone is reported for "teaming" or "hacking"; until it show that they're innocent (by a staff member) they can't see the ban messages.

 

[Zathelas]

It's actually really handy, you just know 100% that the hacker got banned for a good reason. It's like when you received a message from een Moderator on a report but than ingame.

 

[LordSidi0us]

It is reasonable in my opinion, because it will make players a bit more careful.
There's no deny in that players really play way more carefully when they see a Moderation staff member in their game and try to follow every rule as strictly as they can simply, because they know what's going to happen if they don't.
Have a like.

 

[funkemunky]

I agree there should be a staff banning message in game for the reasons you provided. However, it is actually quite common to have multiple cheaters in one game (like one in every 8 games I teleport to). If this message was implemented, it would make our staff's lives much harder trying to determine if someone is cheating or not.

 

[Colleeee]

I don't think this is smart because any other cheater/hacker will see it to and he will stop cheating or hacking and if he sees its safe again he can go on with hacking without anyone suspecting.

I actually like this idea a lot. It will give staff credit and make other players know they are being watched xd. However, this could cause for staff members to be targeted

 

[Deleted member 469419]

Okay, to all of you who are worried about "staff would be targeted/if there's more than 1 hacker in a game". Well, to be honest I don't think it could be a big problem, because 90% of hackers use alts which mean that they doesn't care about getting ban or no, so they won't hide it, in fact, the majority of them, are just looking for the ban. And, as I mentioned above, it could be an option which disallow reported players to see it.

Ahh okay, now it’s been adressed :) +1!
