Bedrock Hackers should recieve permanent ban on bedrock as soon as they are caught hacking

[GHSpaghetti]

Bedrock edition struggles greatly with hackers. The system of having a one week ban for hacks is way too lenient, yes I understand repeat offenders get banned longer however it normally takes a long time for any player to be reported aswell as a minimum 1 day for them to be banned by staff. It gives them plenty of time to ruin the gaming experience for many bedrock players.

It is also very easy to create an alt for bedrock free of charge as opposed to making one on java either using unlawful methods or paying £17.95

The system may work well on java however due to large differences in how the server functions and what devices people are able to access bedrock on as opposed to java it makes it easier to obtain hacks than report them.

Being less lenient on hackers may help reduce hackers entirely, we could even go the route of just removing the 1-week ban entirely and just going to a 1-month ban and then permaban, but the 1-week ban is way too lenient for a server that has such a large hacker problem.

I find a permanent ban way too harsh, but I'd definetly like to see the punishment time getting a little longer, say 2-3 weeks. The reason for this is because hacking is such a useless activity, the main goal is just to annoy people. Plus, during the time that cheaters are downloading and installing their cheats, they get enough chances to think to themselves "hm, this might be a dumb thing to do."

However, hackers aren't known for being the smartest people alive. I've never met a hacker that decides first to check punishment times and THEN proceeds to hack. They just do it without thinking.

Well to my understanding of the rules. The one week ban is if sentinel has caught you. Otherwise I'm pretty sure if you are reported and a mod or someone higher up handles it you will receive a 30 day ban.
But I do understand your frustration with hackers, the best we can do is all of us must unite and have screen recording applications ready so we can report any hackers we see and stop them :)

Bedrock already goes straight to 30 day bans because there is no senteniel. BUT I think it would be so much easier and better if we had IP bans since accounts are free. That’s would stop players from creating free accounts and hacking again 5 minutes after they’re banned.

There are IP bans, just not as you might think. Sentinel does a thing called "blocked connection", which blocks accounts connecting from the same IP as one that was already banned. Sentinel doesn't block connections permanently, just temporarily, but still, prevents hackers from spamming new accounts and using them right away.

I don't think giving perm bans as first punishment would be a good idea. Yes, some player just hack to annoy other players and will continue to do so, but other players might only hacks once because

• Their friends told them to do so
• They wanted to try it out
• Didn't know the rules
• ...

So I really don't think it would be fair to perm ban them from the start. Even giving them a month ban… That's a long time, two weeks at first might be fine by me. After all false positive can happen and if player don't have the courage to appeal, they have to wait, unrightfully, for a long time.

I’m pretty sure if a hacker is reported they get a 30 day ban followed by a permanent ban if they repeat the offence.

Hey again. This is what I found on the rules that is the current procedure!
Punishment track: 7 day ban (Sentinel only) → 30 day ban → Permanent ban

There is no senteniel in bedrock meaning no IP bans either. Even Rubik admitted that Bedrock has no IP bans or blocked connections.

In my own opinion, there is no problem with the current ban track.

I couldn’t agree more...... It is way too easy for mobile players to create a new account and co tinye to hack.

I hope the hacker problem gets seen to soon...
