Is it so hard to give someone a time out if they get reported by more than X number of people within Y time frame?
This would at least get rid of those players who are openly doing stuff they are not supposed to. This would fix over half the problem players in BFV right now
@UP_HawxxeyePubG does this and the result is innocent players being temp banned from the game for 24-72 hours.
Would just a take a squad of friends to report you for giggles. Bye bye.

And the mob will rule... =8-!
Trashing all other players on a server.
And off they go to the next one...
Thank you, but no thank you.

Here's the latest reddit thread on it in PubG. Quite ridiculous.

And it's in the Welcome Wednesday community Q&A

Then the victim appeals and the guys reporting for giggles get the same but for longer. Let them try that again. People who might get mass targeted by trolls such as streamers could get whitelisted too.
I would take the risk for a few trolls mass reporting incidents that I can count on my fingers every year over having at least one blatant cheater per day
In World of Warcraft there is a votekick feature in pug dungeons and raids and I do not recall being votekicked (for reasons other than disconnecting) for more than like 10-15 times over like ~10 years that they have had this system.
I did not specified the times one needs to be reported cause I was not sure about how many reports would be enough to make it work without a "squad of friends" having that power. It should definitely be set to happen after more 10+ reports (how many people got 10+ goons to do their bad jokes?).
TBH. 3rd party anti cheats like BF4DB and Battlefield Agency work quite well.
Sure there are false positives sometimes. But they catch most cheaters and nearly all of their bans are supported with valid proof.
At least they allow players to experience a nearly cheater free experience in Battlefield 4...
Cannot say this about the BF1 and BF5 tbh...
