So, a while ago
@Priley created
this suggestion and
@xRabbitGaming created
this suggestion, which were my source of inspiration to create this suggestion thread. My is suggestion is that if a user gets banned for the use of illegal clients, and someone made a report with clear evidence of the user cheating, the link of the YouTube video should be added to their appeals page.
Q: But why?
A:
- If this gets implemented, less people would complain about a false sentinel ban, because there is clear evidence, which means that moderators have less work to do, so that they have more time to play with friends, to study, or to do other things. Anyway, if this suggestion would be implemented, less moderators would get headache because of kids that claim to be banned falsely by the anti-cheat.
- Imagine this scenario: User 1 cheats, and gets banned by sentinel. This is their first ban for cheating. User 2 reported them for cheating, but they were too late because sentinel banned user 1 before the report was handled by a moderator. User 1 gets a ban that lasts 7 days. But, if the evidence of user 2 would be used to ban user 1, user 1 could get a ban that lasts 30 days, which has more impact on user 1, so that they might stop cheating in the future.
- This would cause a fewer amount of useless appeals because players want to be unbanned fastly; 30 days is not nothing.
- LoonyRules would get less fake appeals about sentinel bans in this inbox.
- Less players would cheat on CubeCraft, so this server would be a better place for anyone who'd like to join.
- This would cause less toxicity! Less cheaters means less angry players that quit the server because of the cheaters.

Q: What would the report look like if the evidence has been added?
A: Instead of this:
It would look like this:
The color of the text could be dark blue (HEX code: #13137A), but you can decide whether that's a great color or not. Anyway, it should not be green, yellow/orange or red, because that could cause confusion.
What would happen to the reports counter after a report is marked as 'added'?
A: 1 handled report would be added to the reports counter, just like what happens when you get a handled report. The reason: Normally, the player would get a ban that lasts 7 days, but now, the player gets a ban that lasts 30 days. The reporter was the one who made that happen, so in my opinion 1 handled report should be added.
Q: What would happen to the cheater if they already have 1 ban by a staff member, and they get banned by sentinel and there was a player recording the cheater?
A: They would be banned permanently, just like what happens when they get banned twice by video evidence.
