New campaign against Mults and Saboteurs.

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

The only tool we have to combat dishonest players is /vote. It is supposed to alert a mod to take a look at a certain battle, however it doesn't work very well because it requires a few players to issue the /vote and also there are not enough mods to take care of all the battles, but it is all we have. I have written a small app to help with sending a /vote. Here is a little video of it in action. It posts a message in chat that tells others that you have issued a /vote and just the simple use of this is sometimes enough to chase them off. Something like this makes it so much easier and maybe we could actually get players to issue a /vote. If your interested PM me.

Yes I know the word "player" was missing out of the first pop-up. It has been fixed and now reads 

"Click on the name of the player you want to report"

I'd like to throw my support behind such a plan.  From now on, it's what I'll be doing in the game.

Oh SO your M3 equipment is different then mine. Do you have some sort of generalissimo ego complex? Are you trying to say players of my rank aren't worthy of going your battles? Just to be clear, I was far from being a mult, and these comments come from a drugger using an M3+ vulcan on a titan backed-up by an isida camping on the ledge of silence, a lot of skill required there.  And you the nerve to call me the noob.  LOL  Now go troll someone else.

He had join 2 of his clan members that are generalissimos.  Till we meet again. :ph34r:

good lot of trouble you took to make that app. good work canadien_eh,

but question: since it only shows in chat, wouldn't it be much simpler to type it instead?

My app uses a minimum of 4 clicks, a maximum of 6, requires no typing, and takes only seconds to use. How is typing all that simpler? I'm going to do a comparison in my Does /vote still work? topic.

You must understand, people cheat because Tanki-Online gives them the facility to cheat (mults) and rewards them well for cheating -

much of the points coming from the winning score, rather than from individual ability.

 

The game is set up so that the poor (me) are just cannon-fodder for the rich - that's hardly sporting, is it?

 

The team scoring system makes a mockery of the ranks - my own progress through the ranks is founded on other player's ability/wealth via team points. I'd be happier pottering around in the lower ranks, while people of wealth/ ability disappeared up into the higher echelons [1]: but

Tanki-online has arranged it so that I progress beyond my means and ability, so it's increasing difficult for me to play: I might get to fire a single shot before I'm killed - I often don't. Where's the fun in that?

 

What I don't understand is why these wealthy /cheating players with massively better tanks, who score thousands of points, are playing at my

rank?

it would also be good if this vote would also mention the reason for the complaint to the mods themselves, not just in the team chat.

I already thought of that but there is no way to do it. If you add anything but the players name the /vote command fails.  Maybe a dev could remove that limitation. That's assuming they even want us to report people. I wonder if they only added /vote to satisfy some law that says they have to have a way for players to report abuse.

yup, but for now they are not going to do much about it. but they have mentioned something about it in the unity version, so we might have something to look forward to after all

[Firenze_PRO 80]

I highly support this!

 

There has been so many times in which a hacker jumps and takes the gold box, and my friend's account has been stolen by a hacker :(

Many people low rank asked me if I wanted "99999999999 crys" and got mad when I asked them why they didn't have the crystals they were offering. (They asked me for my acc password, but I'm not that dumb.) And those multers...... argh.

[Firenze_PRO 80]

The /vote command should automatically take a little video of the battle, if someone is doing something wrong, they will catch him more effectively.

 

I think I may be thinking too wishfully, but I dont know.

[fufususumumu1 240]

video length is another problem. mods cant just sit and watch vids from 1000s of players typing /vote all the time. its really difficult to accomplish.

but nice idea though.

[SnafuBE 9]

Would like to see some automatic kicking out.  By example is /vote is used and the player has zero score after two minutes in the game then it should be an automatic out.  The pause feature is nice but perhaps it should go?

 

If a player receives more than one /vote then a mod should step in and decide to kick the player out or leave it be.

 

If the excuse is that there are not enough mods then the answer is to make things more automatic.

 

As or gold jumpers, you know who they are as soon as they ask 'has gold dropped?".  They are not there for the battle but only for themselves.

 

Something to work on Tanki rather than new pretty paints :p

It should be automatic without human intervention all the time, or it won't work.

[SnafuBE 9]

Should be but it aint.  It is all in the algorithms (reason why FB does so well)

[kayitsiz 621]

I will support this campaign, with ideas and videos if I can.

[Amon166 90]

I do support this campaign. Mults, hackers and saboteurs are reasons why teams are unbalanced.

[SnafuBE 9]

Last week a lot of the battles were complete set-ups.  Fully balanced but lack of participation on one side.  Then a number of players left one side.  This complete garbage is allowed by TO only because they have not figured out a way to control it..ugh  down hill run is gaining momentum :(

[Abdulrahman4 120]

I Already Support This Campaign, Add My Clan Deadly Venom (DV) To The Supporting Clans List, And Good Luck To All Players who are against multing and Sabotaging ;)

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

I will be updating the lists this weekend, when I have more time.

[Pallidium 17]

I am in full support for this campaign. Everything listed in the OP is a result of someones personal selfishness and/or poor sportsmanship.

 

 

Let's make being a jerk as hard as possible!

[kayitsiz 621]

We can make a list for high ranks??

[SnafuBE 9]

BTW when (if?) TO switches to unity all everyone is rest without their purchased crystals do you think the unity platform will make this better presuming people stay after losing their garage and crystals.
