Hi CubeCraft. I've been playing on your server for a while now, and I enjoy it quite a lot, and I particularly like playing on the Survival Games server. But lately, I've experienced a lot of players that are teaming on solo mode, and when players warn the teamers not to, they continue to do so. This has become a regular occurrence on pretty much every solo game I play, and it is getting very annoying, seriously ridiculous, and it is infuriating to players like myself and makes me not want to play on your server any longer. Another huge issue I experience regularly, although less often, are hackers. Hackers are playing with so many different mods and hacks that they win every time, and there is no way that you can win against such an impossible force. Cheaters, teamers, and hackers are swarming the Hunger Games solo mode, and something needs to be changed to stop this insanity and out of control behavior. Hunger Games is no longer enjoyable or fun by any means when you have no chance to win because you just simply can't.
I have a great solution however, that from my personal experience works seriously well. You should set up a new reporting system where you can report players in-game with a simple command, such as /report [player] reason..., and this could be automatically sent to an active, online staff member, who can read the report and do some investigating for themselves, sort of undercover. But, if there are no active staff members for whatever reason, reports can load onto a staff member's feed when they do happen to log on to the sever. Now, you may be thinking of another issue, and that is what if players start to abuse the command. Well, that's simple, if anyone abuses it just dish out some sort of punishment for their actions, such as a temporary ban. This new reporting system will benefit players and the enjoyment quality of your server by a lot because it works to ensure that hackers and cheaters are dealt with quickly and smoothly, versus the long and difficult process you must go through currently to report someone.
There are many problems with your current way to report a player, and I'm going to lay it all down. The first thing is that to report someone, you must have some kind of recording software handy. Well, newsflash, not everyone has one, and not everyone's computers are capable enough to use them. Secondly, not every single person has a YouTube account. Some people who do however have one may not even be permitted to upload videos by their parents/guardians. And even more, some people may not have capable enough internet to even upload a video. And lastly, the length of the video itself, once a player has defied the low odds of meeting all of these outrageous requirements, is much too long. There's a possibility a player may realize he's being recorded for an offense and leave before the required video length is actually met. This is an AWFUL way of reporting players and it is seems to me like it is rarely ever, if at all, effective. This needs to be changed at once.
I hope that you consider this proposition with a lot of thought, because there are real issues that need fixed. I hope deeply you can make changes to your broken system and put in the time for not only me, but the CubeCraft community.
