With that many players online, there will be plenty of trolls who would abuse the command, it has happened before and it will happen again if it's ever implemented again. How big do you expect the staff team to be? 5000 staffs with 500 avg amount of staffs online at any hour?
Couple more would be enough (about 15). The amount of Hackers has greatly decreased since Sentinel arrived. I haven't seen any Hackers for about 3 weeks except the day I went Hacker Hunting with some Helpers. And on that day I only found two.
One of the main reasons why the abuse could still be high is because people simply Hackusate when they're Salty.
Staff and also Members should discourage people from Hackusating unless they have enough evidence of someone being a rule-breaker.
By then I would say that this command is acceptable.
Oh and by the way, ever heard of this message?:
That's the message from the Nick system.
Don't you think they could apply this to the /report command?
If Staff see that you're abusing it you lose the ability to do it. And if you still want to report someone simply go to the report site.
Simple as that.
The number of staffs now is acceptable, server's still running smoothly and things are getting done, hackers are getting banned. You can't expect a staff to jump into any games for every hackusation, recording and reporting it on the forums is the best possible thing a player can do to get hackers banned.
Acceptable? Let me roll back a bit.
Let me see... Ah yes! 15 Staff members have left since January from this year. Very acceptable, yes.
And what did we get in return? 6 Helpers. Which some aren't really the greatest choice.
About your last Argument: Reporting takes longer than asking a Staff on your friends list to see if someone is Hacking or not. Or simply asking it on Discord. Too bad I don't find any Hackers in duels though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"I get it that you could simply report them, but not everyone understands how to report people using the reportsite because of their age or nationality."
^ You are kidding right? There's a guide on the forums on how to make a player report, google translate is there for a reason too. Because of their age? If they're too young to know how to report or follow those instructions on the forums, what makes you think they can tell that someone is a hacker? :rolleyes:
You must be kidding right? Ever tried to copy this thread:
https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/player-reporting-guidelines-and-formating.136047/ put it on Google Translate and then Translate it to Chinese or any other Asian language? Works perfectly, right? Even if I try to translate this to Brazilian I get the most weird sentences that makes wanna think "What the hell am I reading." or "Lmao, did you just translate that wrong!"
Also there is something called toxicity. If most people say Hacker after you kill them you also start saying that too when someone kills you.
I asked someone who called me eZ and L after he killed me what it meant. He had no idea that eZ and L meant Easy and Loss. Same can happen to the word Hacker. Hearing famous YouTubers say Hacker, etc.. Do you honestly think
most of the younger playerbase would know how to differentiate normal players from Hackers? Some don't even know what the word Hacker actually means. Again discouraging people from Hackusating would help allot.
Yes staff are there to handle report and stuff players wanted them to do. They are human too. They are not an emergency service center that should be there 24/7. Maybe the reason they are not adding more staff yet is that they are still finding the best one so yall can have satisfaction when playing on the server. You can't just hire amateur player to be staff and bam.
Hahahahaha, funny guy.
The sentence:

Made me laugh so hard.
Basically if you follow someone's Stream you get the same chance as someone who worked hard for it. Only difference is the one who worked hard for doesn't get it. :) <- Just an example of how it currently is regarding the Applications and whom get accepted.
Y You can't just hire amateur player to be staff and bam.
But they did ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
