@EA_Kent  Any chance we can have this pinned please?

    While I'm at it, the standard means for reporting a player included below.

    Apex Legends - PC and console

    • While in a match, bring up the in-game menu (Tab on PC, Options on PS4, Menu on Xbox One).
    • Open the Squad tab.

    The Squad selection tab in Apex Legends.

    • Select the warning symbol (“!” inside a triangle) under the player you want to report.

    The Report player icon is an exclamation point inside a triangle.

    • Choose if you'd like to report the player for cheating, or for another reason.

    A screen letting you enter a player name and what type of report you want to make.

    1. Choose the reason:
      • Shot me with no line of sight
      • Aim was snapping to targets
      • Moving in impossible ways
      • Ammo or recoil was unusual
      Choosing the reason you are reporting a player in Apex Legends.
    2. Click Submit.

    You can also report a player while spectating them after you have fallen in a match.

    Hold R to report a player when spectating an Apex Legends match.

    PC players can report players by reaching out to Kamu (a service we partner with to help curb cheating) directly via their website 

    Notice: Naming and shaming on AHQ is a breach of forum ToS, please use the above methods for reporting players.

    @MandatoryIDtag That's why this topic needs to be pinned ASAP. At least people will know where to report.
    Same goes for people unaware about Dev interactions on twitter. I am thinking of making a thread. But my laptop is busted for now(spilled hot milk on it ☹️ )

    @BaldWraithSimp  Ah man. I feel your pain, did the same thing with coffee haha.

    @maximas1986 Also to confirm console report functions do seem to have been removed for some reason. So I guess any console reports will have to be done via the respective consoles report system.

    1 man monitoring every platform manually banning?

    Getting 100's if not thousands of twittter messages plus in game report featured players. Yea not a single man on this earth could handle that. I am glad they took a leap in right direction to help stop cheaters but 1 guy just isnt enough to need a entire team of staff on this. We cant wait months for a report to finally be looked into when they have climbed even higher in ranks or pushing people in ranked. 

    I hope he can even handle the job be the biggest job of the company being alone. Just being a analyst ect myself its just not something i feel a single person could remotely fathom of doing on their own.

    @BaldWraithSimp  No my dude. I cooked the hardware good and proper lol.

    The power would cycle through, it would make angry noises at me and then turn itself off. XD

    I did try leaving it for a few days to dry out but the damage was done lol. 😛

    @MandatoryIDtag There is no respective reporting system for the PlayStation 4. You can only report DM content as far as I am aware: no in-game way to report cheaters.

    With cross-play Apex Legends better add their own tool to report players, and for things other than exploiting.

    I've submitted many reports on the easy.ac site with direct links to uploaded Youtube clips.

    Guess what?   Those clips have 0 views.    WTF?

    If the devs aren't even watching edited, short clips of blatant aimbotters, you can be DAMN sure they are doing LITERALLY nothing with in-game reports.
