Bedrock Remove stats of confirmed hacker's

[AliWarrior]

Hello everyone,
Please make sure to read the full thread before replying.

Especially in FFA, there seem to be more cheaters than in any other game. It has basically become a hacker quarantine. Every day, thousands of hackers join and ruin the experience for honest players. They also mess up their stats.

My suggestion is this: once a hacker is banned by staff (not Sentinel, since I know Sentinel can sometimes make mistakes and ban genuine players), their stats should be removed. If staff confirms 100% that the player was using hacks, then keeping their stats devalues the efforts of honest players.

This would make the game fairer, protect the integrity of the leaderboards, and reward legitimate players who truly deserve their progress.

I know this is difficult to implement but it's not something that cannot be done.

Thanks for reading.

Thank you for your suggestion! We already wipe the stats of players who have been banned permanently and we happen to know they are in a leaderboard or such. However, wiping the stats of users who have only been punished for cheating once or twice could be problematic.

In my opinion, we want our punishment system to be effective but also forgiving, we want people to realize their mistake but still be able to enjoy our server once their ban expires, and I feel like taking away their stats could be a huge demotivator. It would also be really hard to determine on a case by case basis which people obtained their stats ENTIRELY by cheating, and which people only did it recently. Additionally, both our anticheat and us as Moderators can make mistakes, I would not want someone's stats to be wiped so easily, it could lead to understandable frustration that ends up being unfairly directed at the Moderation team.

In any case the people who join our server and immediately start using cheats, do eventually get banned, it may not take longer than a few hours or days, so there really isn't a lot of opportunity for them to farm a significant number of stats in any game.
