Here's a suggestion

[Fearsome]

Instead of having a hacker/report section that makes conclusions off of screenshots and replays, why don't the Game Masters actually go IN GAME and shadow the people who were accused of hacking?

How about we make u gm and u can stay at home 365days 24/7 online on fgunz waiting for that 1moment the suspect use his hack Replays and ss are good enough for experienced gm

This is some stupid shit. How do you think it works for any multiplayer game ever made?

They can't sit online 24/7 waiting for that one guy who got reported to log in just so they can "AHA CAUGHT YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH! IT TOOK ME 6 HOURS WAITING FOR YOU TO LOG IN BUT I CAUGHT YOU!!"

It just doesn't work like that. none of them got that much spare time and if they do I doubt they wanna spend a whole day doing nothing but looking at people who's suspects, instead of just watching vids and ss that clearly shows the same thing. only difference is that you want it live.

Lol stop being so dramatic. You don't need to be on 24/7 to see how rampant this shit has gotten. Replays and screen shots don't do justice, things can easily be overlooked and then shrugged off after "reviewing". If you're in game doing it live then its much more obvious and clear cut. And don't you think if hackers were aware of GM's actually being in game and monitoring they would be less likely to use them? Sounds like common sense to me...

BTW, most multiplayer games that have rampant hacking have online game masters that monitor in real time.. not just recordings.

We try to monitor to the best of our abilities, we can't be online all the time therefore that's why the report section is necessary to aid us in potentially banning someone who's at an unfair advantage when we aren't available at the time of the offense. FGunZ averages 300 players a day, all at different times, for us to check every single player all the time would be impossible, we could potentially be in a room following X user see he's fine and leave but that moment we leave they begin hacking, so again this is another reason as to why we have the report section in place.

Your suggestion is flawed in the fact you're asking us not to ban someone on the basis of a Replay/Screenshot but from what we see with our own eyes, again imagine X is hacking right now, no GM's are online so you report them, we finally get online but X user is no longer online, what are we to do? The replay clearly shows the user using some kind of hack but because we haven't seen it for our selves in 'real time' are we meant to just decline the report? You may now think well wait for X user to log back online and shadow them, okay sure and say when we do they are no longer hacking, what then? Do we simply decline and forgive them for that 1 game where they did hack, which is shown in the reports replay?

I never said, "only ban people if they're caught live". If they are clearly hacking in a screenshot or replay then yeah, go ahead and ban them obviously. But there are a lot of cases where things are overlooked and then shrugged off. I'm not saying get rid of the report a hacker section. I'm saying there needs to be much more activity in game rather than out. Again, if hackers were aware GMs were online and monitoring and actively banning people, wouldn't you think there would be less hackers as an indirect result of that? 300 people a day in a multiplayer game is not a lot of people.

FGunZ has a automatic banning. If you are attempting to use a hack/cheat then you logged-in your account. You staring to wonder that why you can't connect the server (or you can't see any server), because FGunZ detected that you are using a hack/cheat.

GM are the knights of the dark, they shall spy on you when you will not know about it.
