@Eshshshss I'm not sure the whole thing is as trivial as you make it sound. I am quite sure based on this forum that the amount of false accusations far outweigh the real ones. This in itself creates quite the backlog of slop to go through.

@hayhor exactly - we can only guess, because there is no info besides forum posts like mine or people complaining about "false" bans.

As said before Respawn could give at least some clue on what is going on e.g. monly stats on who was banned (with names) and for what reason - quite sure that it would be as easy as posting some sort of internal logs. Or just tell people "hey ok we f up, we can't process all the reports in timely manner, going to improve, current lead time 6, 12, 100 months"...

And as suggested earlier a model similar to Quake - where trusted players are given admin rights/ability to execute kick or ban command - could have been tested, that would enable the community to clean itself, delegate part of the workload, potentially make hackers think twice before doing so etc.

    @Eshshshss Based on how petty the community is and their inability to know who is really cheating there is no way I want the community to be able to ban each other.

    I'm all for more transparency tho.

      @hayhormy point about community admins - sure they would not be allowed to ban 50/50 cases, that would go the full circle/process.

      What would be in my opinion valuable is to have people on a server that could ban (instantly) people with auto aim like we see on quite a regular basis or obvious game exploits e.g. forcing game not to allow to spectate them and other very obvious things that are bannable.

      Because currently, all those have to be reported, reviewed, say some sort of the committee has to review videos, etc... very time-consuming if we talk about obvious hacks where 100% of a time 100% of players agree that it is a hack or game exploit.

      p.s. and of course these admins would be working like referees - presenting their views when needed, someone will review their work and how many cases were incorrectly banned, not banned where it should be etc.
