What is the better way to report

[gentle cove]

how do I report someone better than just the ingame reporting (which still has the keyboard shortcuts active while you type a year after release, thanks dudes)

Playing fixed, this guy is getting +24 a turn min, to the rest of our +9 max. Once he starts getting +24 he starts manually rolling stacks, letting the timer run down on his turn. The moment anyone gets a bonus he is lightning quick full blitzing.

He kill guards people, which would be fine, except he is doing it do that he can spend his time manually rolling their reinforced stacks, and make it so none of us leave as we don't know what rank we are getting.

Even at the end of the game, when there are two 1 territories left, and he has 300 troops at them, he manually rolls one, waits until the end of the timer, then fortifies back rather than kill and end the game.

Currently the only way to report someone is using the in game feature. To my knowledge SMG doesn’t have many admins that would handle reports of players so the system relies on player reports over multiple games. Stalling is a pretty obvious form of cheating so hopefully they will be suspended.

What Ace said yeah. Sucks but it is what it is

What could be worse is what I witnessed the other day. A player clearly had hacked the game because on their turn they were place basically twice the amount of troops they earned. Of course I reported the person right away via the in game reporting system. In the six player game I was playing in, each of us saw it, because we all the immediately attacked and defeated the hacker. So, will this person just change names and go on? I was lucky that we acted together to remove a cheater, but you would think there would be a better way to handle that type of situation.

If you report a player they go on your "no-play" list for as long as the report is active. Usually on hacking situations they get banned pretty quickly so you definately won't play them again. But if not you will have a while where you won't be able to see each others lobbies. So changing their name doesn't really do anything

Before I joined SMG I remember seeing a player hacking on Koenigsberg in progressive - they must have not known what progressive was because even tripling their troops - everyone after them suicided on trade in and the last player took them out (giving them 6th place)

Came across that before joining discord too, so late 2018-early 2019 roughly

In my game alliances were on, so we also just all communicated to attacked the hacker. It felt so good to give them last in that game and that everyone worked together to do it.
