This is such a red flag to me. In the first big playtest I played in, that was live for a weekend or something, I had like 12 reports of cheating. I'm nothing special, I have good aim but people instantly just report for cheating. This will make a lot of players that just have good aim be punished for spam reports. Then it gets worse with "being reviewed by moderators," why are suspected cheating cases being reviewed by moderators? This is just gonna lead to even more false suspensions or worse, who even knows. I think this needs to be reviewed and re done in a manner that's more fair to skilled players.
#THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED

whats ur kd lol
Good pleyer.
Why are suspected cheating reviewed by moderators?..
Would you rather we just ban you right away? Even if you're found NOT to be cheating?..
Fr, what is your kd. I've not been reported once in 6 playtests. I'm guessing this isn't a problem for 90-95% of the playerbase.
Skill issue
Ekhm.
My point exactly ^
No, I would rather it not come down to person review at all, except for maybe special circumstances. My point is already proven in this post, say I get 6-8 reports for cheating, I'm completely legit (which has happened, I think it was the first PT , whenever bipod m249s were broken) , and then this narrow minded plain jane moderator goes to my steam profile and sees VAC ban which he knows nothing about. What do you think happens then? He decides I'm cheating of course and bans me.
Ok, so there's 2 choices here, either, you get reported, and it gets reviewed by the mod team, or you get reported, and auto-banned after x amount of reports...
That's it.. It's not like we can let you get x amount of reports, and do nothing, is it..?
I understand someone has to look at it, I guess what I'm trying to say is it needs to be someone more experienced in the subject field, or higher up than just a moderator imo. The way this is worded in the message makes it seem like the anticheat is not sufficient and moderators will be deciding on cheating bans, which in my mind just screams false ban potential and/or inconvenience for unfortunate people who are targeted.
My K/D is irrelevant to the discussion, and frankly it does not matter if you've been reported or not. If you haven't, then this obviously doesn't apply to you. Myself and plenty of others I know have been and this situation would have led to likely a false ban and at the least lost playtime. It also doesn't make it okay just because it only applies to 10% of the playerbase.
I understand your point, but we have to find some way to stop this kinda play, we don't use an automatic system, so that people can't be auto-banned, by mass reporting..
The easiest way is to have it reviewed by Mods, we're trying to be as fair as possible, I agree, that a VAC ban don't look good when we 'check out' your profile. You have to agree, it looks suspicious, if it's there..
We do have some tools in place to help us decide, but it is a lot more fair, then just auto-banning from reports.
I agree, it can be deceiving, but there are truthfully false bans that happen which is why this concerns me because I know how much of a pain in the ass it really is. This also has me curious of the methods that would be used by moderators to determine cheating, are we talking stat watching? I'm sure that shouldn't be disclosed, but no matter which one I think about, it seems like they all can easily be mis judged. I just hope the right people are setup to be viewing these kinds of things.
I agree, we can sometimes get it wrong, this is why you can always come to Discord, and speak with someone regarding the issue, giving a second review..
Unfortunately, we have to go off what data we can get, we have no recording system, or replay, this would be too heavy on the servers..
The only other way, would be for you to run OBS, and record each game, then if you get that screen again, you can give us the recording, and we can actually see for ourselves.. Of course I understand this isn't the easiest way for everyone, but least you'd have video proof or your innocence.
Me looking at dale be like
That's a good point in theory.. I remember a poor Chinese guy, when we did have it doing auto-bans for a test, he got banned like 4 times during a playtest.. Turns out, he was just good..
Each time we had to unban him manually, so Oki changed it, so it went for review instead.. iirc
HAHAHAHAHAH this is your response to this? Screenshotting his vac ban from 7 years ago?
OP has a valid point and it’s responses like this that get important feedback absolutely nowhere.
Your KD is entirely relevant. If you are (for example) in a skill group encompassing <1% of the player base, then this system of reports and manual moderator checks is totally appropriate, because the volume of cases is quite small. If you were in the 2-3 KD range then it would be a different story altogether. I get that its a major pain the ass to be locked out of the game while you wait for someone to review your account, but as TrueDevil says, what else should they do?
I think the point of this feedback is to invoke ideas of what could be done differently. I don’t believe the intention was for you to give some long explanation for somebody else’s faulty system, and then ask the OP to be the one to come up with ideas on how to solve this issue.
I don’t understand why there is always so much resistance and hostility in this discord when anyone points out flaws with the game. It’s cultish and down right strange.
That does sound shitty, and I didn't mean to come off that way.
I'm not being hostile. I've submitted feedback/suggestions. Criticism is good. Want the game to be the best it can be. Etc. In regards to this critique specifically, I can only think of one alternative, which is to let potential cheaters continue playing while their accounts are manually reviewed. That's what CSGO does. Not sure if that's any better tho.
You say there’s no recording system or anything like that. I’m just curious, what does a second check by a moderator consist of? I have a gameban from squad (not cheating, Larry and Oki are already aware of the reason..) would that mean that a moderator might ban me from Battlebit if I get mass reported? Which has happened and will most likely happen again simply because I’m just better.
Tbh, I've not actually done any game related moderation yet, and right now I can't, for a technical reason..
So I don't know the full process, but, from what I understand there's a way to tell..
Ofc, I have to be somewhat cryptic, meaning I cannot say what tools we have, for security reasons, I'm sure you will understand this..
I know it can be frustrating, but if we do nothing, people will assume it's 'open season' on the servers.
This is the fairest way we have right now.
You are always welcome to talk to Larry about any review you get.
However, it's like 2am.. I'm off for tonight 🙂
He was already cheating on Verdun 
https://youtu.be/TjTFpj2KaqQ
Since the amount of haxusations are over the top nowadays, I figured I'd start uploading some YouTube videos. Enjoy.
His point is both valid and unvalid.
First of all, such system that flags users for cartain stats or reports isn't perfect, but it's working sometimes - later after upon review, it turns out that the system was right. Not always, as there's no perfect system like that. There really are hundreds of people who say they're clean, upload videos proving their skills, and then it comes out differently. It's very typical. I emphasize, however, that nothing is decisive at this point.
Why his point is invalid imho? He got VACed 6 years ago and 6 years ago was he was accused of cheating? Well. Looks like totally random circumstantial funny situation. Also he is quite interesting person in Verdun community. There's even statement from Verdun developer himself - stating that he's banned from the forums. Stating that he is not clean.
Therefore, he should not be surprised that the system flags him. As someone said above, no one is hostile here, but you are trying to force people to be hostile. It looks like that, just a little. People who are very good players have the most problems with this system, or later it turns out that they used something. There's no reason to call it cultism when 99% of people have no problem with it.
Zab is not me and the forum posts have nothing to do with me lol.
But sure my point is invalid because of a false vac ban and because I had a reputation in verdun
Also this was not the system flagging me, the screenshot is from someone else. The sad part is people like you would be the ones dealing with these cheating reviews. Everyone knows how that would obviously go
With everything you type it just makes my point more and more valid. You jump to conclusions with everything you say
"Everyone knows how it will go" before it happens. Eh.
@terse pike Dude are you sure you’re fit to be a moderator here? You just linked me a bunch of pictures of somebody else 
This is ironic as fuck

Dude I cannot stop thinking about this
@grave crown Makes a post about a faulty system. Then a staff member comes and explains this faulty system. @grave crown Explains how it’s faulty.
Then our fucking Hero @terse pike , such a world class moderator, comes swooping in with HIGH LEVEL detective work. @terse pike Then begins showing such high quality pieces of “evidence” as an example of the previously questioned to be faulty manual review process for “cheating”. Brody then begins to explain why zed might be cheating, with stunning screenshots of OTHER PEOPLE. Not even @grave crown

This is absolutely insane
There truly is no better way to show how broken of a system this is and that ONLY qualified people should be able to perform these checks. Clearly some people are NOT qualified.
If you ask me, the whole manual system as it is should be thrown out the window.
I mean this guy Brody sat here and actually seems to have convinced himself that Zed is cheating.
Zed isn’t fucking cheating Zeds a fucking god 6x Squad world champ, terrorizer of Verdun and 99.9% of players will never be as good. It’s also not a thread about whether Zed is cheating but somehow the staff team turned it into that simply because something about Battlebit was questioned.
If I searched it wrong, I am deeply sorry for that I made a typo in his nickname and found different person. It's still not the reason to be that rude and that arrogant as you are. And as I remember you where removed from Discord for such approach to the people, do you? No actions where taken against Zed and no decisions made. We are doing the same thing here as you do and the same thing you want to do - discuss. I'm not convicted and I did not said that he is. I'm discussing with you and simply made a typo in the searchings that is not any kind of action or decision against him. You want people to discuss but you don't allow people to discuss or make a typo in nickname. Sorry for that and there's no reason to attack others for mistakes that are not based on any decisions or actions. Rather than jumping and attacking you should simply point out that this is wrong person and I made a typo. That's normal and OK approach, but attacking someone like you did isn't a good way to solve discussion.
Sorry, but I'm not going to be dragged into such flame war. It's okay to discuss, it's bad to put words on other that they didn't said.
You attacked me with false assumptions though?
I’ll just stop, you’ve done enough yourself here
Dude this guy is the biggest gaslighter instigator. Comes into this thread hot asf posting pictures of 7 year old vac bans then makes this whole false accusation post towards you. Now is coming after me. It’s just so crazy. The behavior of some Battlebit staff is just outrageous.
@terse pike This has been forwarded to those above your pay grade not gonna sit here and go back and forth with somebody like you thanks bye ✌️
Yeah it’s hilarious, and these are the people who are reviewing cheating cases. Jesus Christ. I mean this post speaks for itself
I wonder if he noticed this about the video @grand epoch posted
Seems like he looked at it and went “Ah ha! Got him!” 
Without even reading. I mean obviously he didn’t read. He found “evidence” of people that aren’t even named ZED 
ZAB You have been a bad boy ZAB @grave crown 
Lmao. Yeah safe to say he would’ve concurred with cheating on my behalf, based on something he interpreted completely wrong. Which is the entire reason I made this post, he doesn’t realize he’s just proving my point. And this is just at the start of it 😂 but hey, us 10% of players subjected to this don’t matter because we’re only 10%
@grave crown Currently report system is one of our biggest weapon against cheaters.
I do my best to improve the system that it only timeouts the actual cheaters instead of legit players together with.
Sadly I could not find a point where system can always 100% separate from a cheater and a legit high KD player. (There are multiple things are involved, not only KD)
Currently timing out players are giving enough time to review and take action. We are not banning anyone directly.
I apologize behalf Broady for him giving the impression of you were cheating. I believe he only wanted to point out some findings he had from online search, but we normally do not use online search to decide but rather keep them in mind.
In case if you/anyone get timed out, me and staff team gets a notification and do review as fast as possible, accurately as possible without keeping you timed out as soon as possible.

Thanks Oki. I’m sure down the line a better system can be implemented. I can see how this could be abused, especially in competitive matches.
As a side note, one of my favorite parts of this thread was this —>
I’ve read a lot of stupid shit on the internet. This one is up there in the top 10
i think hes saying that if mods do review it they need context, and should makybe talk to the person about it
I guess you would rather get an autoban after a certain amount of reports? Not sure what you want here, it’s being reviewed by a real person.
Well, I also said he can always come to Discord to have a chat.. Which is the same thing.. However, anyone doing this, would still have to wait for a final decision
maybe you should get like 3 reports per day, or a 3 strike policy as in if you report 3 people which are not cheaters then you can't report people for set amount of time?
what if you encounter 4 cheaters tho, wouldn't it be kinda stupid if you couldn't report the last guy?
Meanwhile cheaters in BFV running wild and you can't do anything about it, other than leave.
Gotta pick a poison, I suppose.
The one thing that needs fixing are public report records.
Seeing 5 aimbot reports will make the monkeys report the same once they die to that person. Or even for no reason.
post footage of you playing then
Might be hard getting banned so quick. 
It’s literally pointless, you and the other brainlets talking about K/D are completely missing the point. What causes you to get reported is a whole different thing than what happens after you’ve been reported ( which is my issue at hand )
But here I’ll save you some time : “posts footage of playing”
dUdE uR nOt eVeN tHaT gOoD
Okay we’re done there now, now go watch anime losers
Gladly
You seem kinda mad lol, 'brainlets' 'now go watch anime losers'
Signs of toxicity
local man begs to be banned because mad at pre-release report system
massive skill issue, who the fuck made you a moderator
I was basically agreeing with you that this system is shit, and you go ahead and clown on me plus pull the generic brainlet card of "hurr durr anime", seemingly only because you saw some digital art set as my PFP?
Now you just sound like a salty cheater to me. 
That's really fucking ironic now.
Sorry
Most moderators will not allow you on a server if you have a vac ban so.....
i mean this was 2,500 days ago that is a extremely long time I also have a vac ban for using a csgo skin changer back in the day and haven’t “cheated” in a game since
Makes me want to listen to System of a Down
