READ ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE REPLYING!!!!!!!!!!
In this suggestion, I would like to introduce a somewhat new topic from my knowledge.
- /sentinelreport. Or, /sr
What does it do?
-It is an in-game report feature. It is made for reporting people in-game.
"Well Deeds, they got rid of this due to abuse of the command."
Not this command. .This command goes to the anti-cheat, sentinel, similar to lowpixels "/watchdogreport", or, "/wdr".
Staff do NOT receive notifications about a player using /sr. It is sentinel's job to see if the player is hacking. After all, it is Cube's anti-cheat.
"Well Deeds, we have a report website to report players."
Yup, I know.
However, this is beneficial to those who do not have a recording software, such as Bandicam.
"Why cant they just download one?"
You don't know what is behind another's screen.
Maybe they don't have one because their parents won't let them have one.
Maybe their computer can't handle having a recording software on it.
You never know.
False Bans.
-As we know, Sentinel has a record for apparent false bans.
As of now, the players who get falsely banned by sentinel have to appeal and contact CrazymanJR.
"Well Deeds, with the false bans, wouldn't /sr cause false bans as well?"
That, ladies and gentlemen, is why Sentinel needs to be improved.
On a daily basis, I usually see someone complaining about a false ban.
We need sentinel to be updated to recognize actual hacks, and not laggy and skilled players as hackers.
It needs to be updated to:
1- Have a strong Anti-Bypass feature for clients that bypass sentinel
2- Have it look for advanced versions of common types of hacks. Not like an OP version of KA, but a KA where it looks legit, but its really hacks.
3- It needs information on how to ban the people who are using new and advanced clients, Flux, Wurst, LiquidBounce, etc. (yes I watch xTurtle)
Trial Phase.
- There should be a trial phase of this for all ranked players. (Or everyone, just tell me what you think below) (Staff, excluding helpers, can just ban people in-game)
"Why a trial phase? Why not just for everyone automatically?"
From my knowledge, most people who have ranks are usually pretty good and can tell when someone is hacking or not. (Most people, not all)
This is only a trial phase. If it goes successful, then it will be released to everyone on the server.
The trial phase should last about 1 Month, If successful, it gets implemented. If not, it gets scrapped.
Layout.
-There should be a layout for this report, this is what I was thinking.
This picture is what the command would look like. Although in place of my name, put the player you are reporting.
Once you type in the command, this setup would appear in your hotbar.
-Diamond sword: PvP Hacking, Such as:
Kill aura
Reach
Aim-bot
Auto-Critical, etc.
When a player is using hacks to win a PvP fight, click the Diamond Sword.
-Feather: Fly Hacking (I would use an Elytra but its not in 1.8)
When a player is fly hacking, click the feather
-Swiftness Potion: Speed / B-Hop
When a player is using speed hacks, such as B-Hop, click the Swiftness Potion.
-Red Stained Glass:
If you want to cancel your report, click one of the red stained glass' in your hotbar.
Report Website.
-This will still be a major component of Cube's success.
If a player is not 100% sure that a player is in fact hacking, he can take a video and report over here: https://reports.cubecraft.net/ , so you can have staff make sure of your accusation.
Permanent Record.
-The /sr command will always be with you.
If this gets added, there will be 2 report pages.
1- Normal report site
2- Sentinel report
The normal report site will do what it does already
The Sentinel report site will keep your /sr reports on record.
HOWEVER, this will require a feature in which players will be able to link their minecraft accounts with their forums account. (plz)
(The permanent record idea isn't very good imo, but it might be cool)
"Will the /sr reports effect your chances at becoming staff if they are denied by sentinel?
Answer: No, it will not effect your chances at becoming staff. It wont effect if they are denied or accepted. This is regarding the "quality over quantity" part.
So if you are planning on becoming staff soon, you will have to get a screen recorder and report players on the report website. Plus, to become staff, your reports on the website should probably be staff approved.
So, I guess that about wraps this up.
And please, do NOT say things like, "report them here: *link* lock @staff" or "this was abused in the past and will not be re-implemented so lock @staff"
Like I said above, it cannot be abused as bad as last time, as staff do not receive constant spam of accused hackers. Its all up to sentinel! :D
