Streamline Reporting ( cheaters, glitchers, etc )
in Suggestions
The current method for reporting people is, realistically, terrible and crossfire with all its glitches and occasional cheater needs a more stream lined method for reporting people.
My idea is simple, add a more convenient reporting system into cf itself, One trend i notice with people is when there is a obvious cheater or glitcher they say "reported" but as soon as the game is over they kind of just don't care anymore or don't even know how to report these people.
Here is a POC UI thing i did for the menu for reporting.

Now, ideally what would happen when this is clicked is maybe open an iframe in game to PM CRreports ( new account for glitching / cheating reports ) and for proof it would attach the replay file from the game or at the users option, a screenshot for glitchers, Once that was done it would wait until the end of the game to upload it to the forums ( attachments maybe? ) and then it would be sent.
This is just kind of a spur the moment kind of thing, So if you have any ideas, comments, or ways this could work better feel free to post it.

Actually, this will never come because its to much of a drain. It seems like a great idea, but it really isn't. Its bad enough as it is, people report legit players constantly, and the gm's have to filter through tons of these to find the maybe 1 in 10 hacks/glitchers as it is.
If they made it super easy to report, their system would be so bogged down they would never be able to do anything. By making it difficult to report players they reduce the chance that somone will take their time to report someone, unless they are 100% sure they are hack, and are willing to spare their time to help the community out by reporting him(Or just want vengence).
So sadly as a recap,
Seems like a great idea,
Really is actually a bad idea
(I forget where the post was but Sadin said its hard enough to get through all the reports as it is, which are almost all false positives aka not hacking)
Would be a HUGE drain on resources.
Never gunna happen. -
Read over what Cratezman said, I'm not going to quote his whole reply. Ingame reporting would spam the reports more-so than they already are. It wouldn't be bad if there wasn't a spam of reports of mainly legit players.
i agree with pain, sort of, i take pain suggestion and the original poster and make this idea
instead of report, we have in-game mods and if enough people click the report button in a game then the mods will be notified and can spectate into the game and can see first hand for themselves if the accused is hacking or not and then can deal with him/her immediately instead of 500 steps to do one thing, can see the hacker and ban him all in less time than it takes to upload replay -
Actually you certainly have a point.. the hacker report system has its flaws but i don't think that's where they should put the report thing..after you played with the guy and saved the replay i think you should go into Storage and there make a button like "Report" and it should have some menus like Replay (and you chose 1 of the saved replays) , Players Name (and you write the players ign) , Report type (glitch , health hack,and so on) ,Description (here u try to write the exact moment you think its hacking) and they should also limit these hack reports and make like a trusted system .. lets say if you report in a month 5 guys that don't hack then you're not allowed to send in for a period of time (not trusted user) but if your guess is write in all your reports or most of them then you get to be a more trusted user..

That doesnt work. Lol, sorry Knifey, but that would just fall victim to the same problem as streamline reports, except now it would suck the life out of the staff ingame(Because basically anyone who gets kicked now, would be reported as well).
Same problem, dif part of staff being bogged down. -
not agree, but good idea. you know how many inocent plp are playing out there and called hack? personally i am called hacker in 8/10 matches i play.. you have an idea of how many replays the GM will gonna watch? lol.
