Hackcheck queue should have an emoji for "Likley Not Hacked, But do not trade (Tradebanned)"

Hear me out

If you wanna put your in life event pokemon in the queue (But its legit) its gonna get a big ❌ ,and whoever submited it will think its hacked, but in reality, its only tradebanned on the server. Then you need to go to Hackcheck discousion and ask them why. So i think it makes sense to add an emoji for this because some people just wanna see if their special/tradebanned pokemon are legit. Maybe something like ⭕ (since O is usually opposite of X, but its still red saying you cant trade it) but it doesnt even matter what emoji.

Our queue exists for the sole purpose of preserving the legitimacy of our trading environment. The General Information pin in #hackcheck_queue explains this, though I know it’s easy to gloss over (you can read it [here](#hackcheck_queue message) ). Furthermore, [you’re still free to ask for a legality check on tradebanned pokemon](#hackcheck_queue message), but since this is outside the intended scope of HCQ I don’t expect we would change the queue structure to accommodate it. (I’m not part of HCT, though, so I can’t answer definitively.)

Also, confirming legitimacy (not just legality) is very difficult to do in general, which is why we don’t offer definitive judgements. We can’t 100% confirm whether someone’s pokemon is legit, so we wouldn’t want to give people a false understanding of that being the case

Ok

i totally understand that people cant get a garunteed confirmation that its legit

but ive seen a few cases where people submit their actual legit events and get an X, but in discousion they said its legit, but just tradebanned

so all im saying is there maybe should be an emoji to keep mix ups like this from happening

saves people time also

and it save HackCheck team time from explaining

❓is used for “maybe hacked, don’t trade” so that’s kinda what you’re asking for

i was thinking "Maybe legit, dont trade" or smthing along those lines

Isn’t part of the point of the ❌ so people check in the #hackcheck_discussion channel? Why would they make it so people are less likely to go there?

If people are so invested in finding out legality of something, the least they can do is take a minute or two for clarification

In addition. We can't just trust that something isn't hacked based upon word of mouth. So if a rare in-life event (that is tradebanned for a reason, mind) happens to pop up in queue and the person who submits it claims it's legit, well why are we supposed to blindly trust them? Ultimately, the queue exists to protect the trades of server members, so the tradebanned mon list comes first for the above reasons

Hmm. This post is many days old. I apologize
