Banning Mults and Poor Game Play

[lasttruesoldjaleft 14]

I hope you guys read and heed but I know from experience you won't. Yesterday while playing on Highways (Pro Battle), this 3 square came in on my side and start shooting me and other team members with his tiny hammer. Messing up our aim, pushing and shoving the entire time. Just annoying as freak. I reported this player and so did many others. Here's the real surprise: YOU GUYS DID NOTHING! What's the point of reporting and you guys do absolutely nothing but banning me hours later for who knows what???!!!!! 

Why can't you all give players who create the battle the authority to remove a player that is disruptive??? You all aren't doing anything. Don't seem that  you ever will. Oh sure, every millionth time you might kick someone out but that's only after hours of reporting the player! This has to be done more immediately. It has too.

Again, if you guys won't take it seriously or don't give a freak which is likely both of these, then at the very least have the decency to allow us to be able to do so. To prevent abuse, kicking out these types of players may mean that a video recording of the game may be required like a police bodycam. Or, the most preferred, is to give the player three warnings and let that serve as the "kick your butt" out approval. Either way, you guys need to do something about this as it's becoming more and more of a problem!

How many times have you all heard this and did nothing?????

Doing nothing to improve TO is their hallmark.

I have many, many, many haters who all try and disrupt my game. This is because I have usually wrecked them multiple times in various battles and when they grief me about it, usually with very unkind words, I answer back with a one liner that wrecks them all over again.

It does not matter how many times I report them, nothing EVER gets sorted and these idiotic numbskulls just get away it,...... every time.

have you perhaps considered that there are real humans with real lives out there who respond to reports, and that they may not be available at the exact moment you submitted your report, unfortunately?

[Positive 1,151]

To make things clear, moderation is handled by real people, moderators are not online 24/7,  this means that action is not always immediate. I get how irritating it is tho when someone is multing a match and it feels like nothing is happening in the moment.

Regarding pro battles, giving hosts direct kick authority sounds simple, but it also comes with a high risk of abuse (kicking for score, personal reasons, etc). That’s why moderation decisions are centralized.

I get the hammer thing, one player who's name I know, often flips me over with hammer and teabags me.

oh come on this game has 5 people im sure they can respond to a single report from time to time.

(ignoring the elephant in the room aka that they NEVER respond to reports. even when the 'moderator analysis completed' message appears, the mults are still in battle. I literally had only 1 case where a mult was actually kicked in my 13 years of playing.)

And don't seem to work.

If a players idea is just not gonna happen for whatever reason, then IT IS ON THE DEVS to change their approach in how they moderate and ban repeat cheats in the game, you no like a certain tuber, who has been caught twice and still enjoys all the trappings of his account and the freebies that come with it.

I have NEVER cheated, but if I say a meany word that mods think might upset someone, or are not in line with their over inflated hypocritical rules, then they ban me, which they have done on multiple occasions. I have obviously got it all wrong. What I should be doing is mult and cheat numerous times in order to safeguard any ban, silly me. Talk about double standards and hypocrisy.

That's a 100% more than most.

You are obviously one of hazels favourites. Can you put in a good word for me bud.

Please don't post just for the sake of posting.

There has been no uncivilized posts.

It's called friendly banter, something you are immune to.

This has been a real problem since a couple years now, even in MM battles.

They should have more BMs watch over Pro Battles since this is the kind of battles players want to play.

My brother that has returned to the game yesterday asked me to explain about all of these problems that Tanki had and still has with multing, I couldn't answer.

We all get the fact that they're real humans and don't have all the time in the world to moderate battles, but the fact that the reports often say "Complaint has been accepted" (or something along those lines) makes us think that they've in-fact checked the battle, but nothing happens after this - I've had a guy hack in Hyper Mode yesterday, reported and got the "Complaint has been accepted" message but guess what? Nothing happened after that, his account is still up even though a lot of people have told me that they've also reported him.

Moderators are not online 24/7, but don't show us a message that says our complaint has been accepted but then nothing happens. This is the annoying part of reporting.

Mults in a map is the LEAST that this game has experienced (that's of course against the rules).

Host Kick should be implemented by having players agree to kicking one, then having a moderator to fact check if he's breaking the Pro Battles rules.

Having mods watching over won't exactly make them abuse this system, since the kicking system should be checked by a mod.

 

My questions are:

Will they ever think about implementing this feature?

Will they do anything about Pro Battles?

Will mods ever care about hacks still being a thing in Hyper?

 

I'm not disagreeing with anything you guys say, but this should be the problem they should be worried about, not shared accounts and negative balance on rubies.

not shared accounts

I've always wondered about that.

Why is it regarded as a rule break. WHY is it even a rule.

Do you think these players that finished the phoenix missions in about 2hrs done it  "ALL BY THEMSELVES", whatever.

There are obviously not enough mods to oversee every battle, I understand that. What I don't understand is that because cheats/mults are a permanent fixture in the game. why the devs have not thought of other ideas that will improve this shameful situation.

As for shared accounts, so what. Let players share accounts, who cares. It causes no harm to the game and does not impact other players per se.

True.

But lets just look at the list of helpers that tanki has that put in the work.

First: battle mods/admin (This list hasn't been updated since 2015, so it's probably different by now. But count the number of helpers on this list).

 

And let's compare it with the list of chat moderators/admins (also probably not updated, but count the number of chat helpers).

 

You quickly realize where tanki would rather spend its time moderating based on where they assign the numbers of helpers.

It isn't the game.

I agree with this, causes no harm.

Either way there's far many people that do share account like you said.

What I don't understand is, why put so many Chat Mods to moderate the chat when there's literally an auto-moderation system (I hope so at this point).

The auto-mod system could ban by itself.

I never said we don't need any Chat Mods, but what I'm trying to say is that we don't need that many.

idk the exact reason behind having so many chat mods - from what i can see, they're including people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to avoid punishing unfairly.

 

this can't be compared to battle moderation, it's a completely different skill set. the requirements are quite strict, and their intake is much lower because there's a lot of power that comes with the position. making mistakes in other positions does not have a major impact on the gaming experience for players, but mistakes in battle moderation can stop you from playing the game altogether.

Like that has worked.

Even when a player (mult) has been named and pointed out multiple times, or as I have done, pointing out to an actual mod in battle that a player was deliberately attacking his own players and he did nothing.

Sorry he did do something. He said to report the player via the report button, which I had done, but this player continued attacking his own players on the team I was on.

If this had of been me doing this, you can guarantee I would have been booted from battle in seconds.

The system for tackling cheats is useless and needs to be looked at with the view of introducing a better system that actually works.

Then, if it was such an important position, you'd think there would be more of them.

Not less.

I would say a lack of battle moderation (because of less battle mods) is a far greater reason for people to stop playing the game altogether.

I feel like if you're a helper in a related field (ex: CM could train in learning basic BM protocol), you could assist that group if they are understaffed or something idk

[paul16135 127]

This is what the scores look like when 3 members of the team do nothing but ruin the game.  Talk about pressing delete more than the space bar.
