In game hack report.

right, heres the idea.
an in game menu to report hackers and bug users etc. you just bring up the menu, report, player name, send.

but, they cant just look at some text to see if they are legit hackers, so when you send a report it would also send a screenshot with the score on it.

i know there are some holes to this idea but what do you think?

  • It's similar to mine, it's a good idea....

    Why the kik vote system simply doesn't work:

    1) Hackers generally don't even get voted off, skilled players do for the 'Ace' or because the nooby team mates know nothing and think everyone is hacking.

    2) Kicking 'hackers' from games does not work anyway - How many people kik 'hackers' and then follow up with a hack report? That's how hackers need to be dealt with, kicking them and 'leaving it at that' means the hacker gets away without penalty and just hacks in other games.

    The kik vote system simply moves the hacker from room to room (if the system worked correctly), and at present it's actually used by witless noobs and those that rage and scream 'hacker' because they never thought, that maybe, just maybe everyone is not "hacking" and that their just noob.

    What Crossfire really needs to sort hackers out and noobs that cry "hack" is:

    1) There should just be an automated system (exactly like the kik vote system) but instead of being kiked or voting to kik a player, you select a players name (like now), the reason (like now) and the replay is sent to z8games as a hack report, glitch report, bug report etc. If a person is actually hacking, glitching or using a bug then a ban will follow (should be permanent and zero tolerance policy in all cases), if they are not hacking, glitching or using a bug and their are many false reports from a certain player (maybe in set timescales) then they should be temporarily banned for abusing the hack report system and sending false reports, with constant false hack reports after a temp ban then a permanent ban should follow.

    2) The problem with the above is that you still have the hacker in game hacking right? and you get a penalty if you leave, well remove the penalty for leaving the game, so if there is a hacker in game file the report (like kik vote) and then leave.

    This means the hacker is reported properly, and he can't get free kills because you can leave and without penalty, also if the hacker joins other games those people can leave too (hence nobody plays with the hacker).

    Also this idea would weed out alot of these noobs that knowingly falsly accuse people to get the kiked or knowingly falsely kik them themselves from their team.

    The above is a "fair and just" all round solution to clean up this game of hackers and cry babies that harass other gamers for no reason, yes there would be even more reports that there are now if this system came into effect, but after the noobs are banned this will reduce and noobs will be more careful with this system in place.

    I agree to everything he said. Make it happen CF!

    Thanks for stroking my ego lol

    Just playing :P
  • i agree with you both. i thnk thats a great idea. lol

    The 'New System' you're talking about won't work and won't happen. I can imagine how many replays Saidin would have to watch. Thousands of replays a day, impossible for them to watch all the individuals that are considered to be 'hackers'.

    LOL, so you know the extent of the problem with these cry babies.

    To sort a big problem takes either big money or loads of time or a smart move, I would opt for just removing the voting system and let xtrap worry about hackers as that is their job! - That's the smart move.
  • Suggested before, not going to happen in the near future.


    Even though is a great idea, it needs some major coding to implement.

    They could just go through them at random, these people will realise they could be banned and then hopefully stop.
  • I agree but dose any one from z8 read any of the reports of hackers. Over the past month I have submitted reports with screen shots and no one has looked at them yet. they should also add banning by ip address like in kumawar, whear we keep list's of hackers and ban them from our games. And we also post the list at times.
  • They could just go through them at random, these people will realise they could be banned and then hopefully stop.

    They could do, at least hackers would know with an 'in game report feature' that they are bound to be reported, I mean look how many people use the kik voting feature now lol
