Java Player Report Recommendations

[DarkArroww]

So a situation came up while playing Among Slimes where I wanted to report a player. I didn't have any evidence but I certainly suspected hacking.

The issue is, on the report you HAD to have recorded evidence to even submit the report. I propose that you enable another option for "suspected report" or something of a similar concept where it is take more lightly and goes off of suspicions. Perhaps to watch the player in the future and determine if he actually was hacking.
This sort of freedom does let people raging report players for no good reason other than they're angry, but I think the benefits might be worth it if there is enough staff to watch people.

If you suspect someone of cheating, you could always report them ingame with the /report command. You won't need any evidence for this. Staff members will check his behaviour ingame and decide if a punishment should be made.

Gotcha! I am stone rank so that won't work for me. I guess it's a fair compromise to only allow iron and up to do that sort of report. That's one way to prevent rage reporters.

Yes, otherwise staff would be flooded with reports, and they would never be able to do them all. You can always buy iron rank! It isn’t expensive already, but with a sale it’s actually really cheap :)

Ah I thought the command was available for stone, but just with 3 reports per day.

I don't agree with making it available for everyone tho. Staff will not be able to handle the reports in time because there will be too many. This will take away the working of the system; if there would be a delay of 1 hour between the report and the staff looking into it (because there are to much reports to deal with) the chances are that the hacker already left the network, so the staff member can't spectate him anymore. Also the cheaters will get more time to cheat before getting banned. Maybe in the future they could make the /report command available for stone rank, but for now you will have to keep reporting on the site.

Nope, even with emerald rank you only have 3 reports per day. D:
