• Suggestion to help server admins better report/forward cheaters to devs/EAC
    6 replies, posted
Hello - I admin a large set of Rust servers and there have been several times where I'd like to forward a hacker account to you/devs/EAC in order to hopefully have them game banned. But, I can only do this by pressing f7 in game. Sometimes, I am not in game or able to do that and would love to be able to open my browser and report from the site as well. Is the only way, as an admin with proof, to contact devs/EAC through F7 or the Rusthack Twitter report page? Should I dm/tweet the rusthack twitter? Just wanting to get hackers off the server(s) and out of the game the most efficient way. Thanks! Mhysa
F7 means EAC can capture the game environment of the alleged cheater and examine his system for active hacks. Nothing else is acceptable proof, that's what F7 is for and why it's there.
If you are an admin you can ban them from your servers yourself. You can find the report system via a browser, here is the link https://rust.facepunch.com/feedback/
That's actually untrue, but thanks for the reply.
Yeah i dont agree with this either. I admin a few really large AU/NZ, US and EU/UK servers and i record everything. I record cheaters all the time with proof of them cheating and provide that with my F7 report. Sometimes even EAC have not detected cheats on players and video evidence from an admin POV is just what they need.
On the other hand do you know how many people have tried to have hackers banned by just posting on this forum with, at times, nothing more than a screenshot of a chatlog? The EAC devs can't ban on purely video evidence -- though video evidence from an admin POV can help EAC with detection and punishment at times. That's my point. Nothing less than EAC making a detection is justifiable evidence for a ban, but there are ways to augment an EAC detection using additional evidence. It is a fine distinction.
Oh Yeah i see reports all the time like that. If people are going to report players they need to provide as much evidence as possible. But i understand what you are saying now. F7 does work though!
