So I guess the report system is even more f***ed up now

No i'm not lying I forwarded it straight to deca through closed testing at the time the dev that took action upon it was new and i'm not sure if other devs would have acted on it with out question. The guy had been a pain to the USW server and by far the most toxic person on it for a good month, I got tired of it took some screening and that was that. Either way fuck that guy, well deserved ban

Why do you have an mpgh account?

.
Saw that other guy claiming to be me using hacks so I made one

just because he is a member on mpgh doesn't make him a hacker.

traktion uses mpgh and he is one of the biggest hacker vigilantes in the game right now.

They could make logs based on the day (name new .txt files based on the date of the day) and easily search thru their files to find something, assuming the date of the incident is provided.

That along with some filters as to block log-flood by repeated messages would make it possible to have logs from a considerably good period of time.
But still, we have the video reports which are something so stupid all we need to accuse someone are footage cuts in vegas.

That's true, if I send an image with a guy saying something in the chat, they can take the date and confirm it. With a single GB they can store 3649635 lines of text, and one GB should be nothing for them, so they could store all of the text from the start of the game, a million is a big number, I don't think more than a couple tens of million messages have been send or even less. (?).

If the guy reporting someone else doesn't provide the date of the incident though, it would be pretty hard to search thru all the files, otherwise it should be fine.

So they could store the chat if they wanted to.

I am pretty sure bots would flood up those log files to incredibly large sizes and the amount of people that spam words in the chat box would make it really big aswell, It isn't really worth it for deca to keep a chat log when the game is constantly filled with people who spam messages all the time.

You could easily make a program search through all the text files in a particular folder for one sentence without breaking anything.

(using windows search would not be help as it lags etc)


So I don't see why that would be a problem. Besides, key words like .com etc can be identified and removed before written to the log

But who knows what the hell deca has been doing.

I did read the thread and understand how dumb the system is atm but I disagree with the idea that deca should keep logs, I think a report function in the game would be more effective, if you report someone only their logs should be recorded then investigated

Yeah, that would make screencap reporting safer. But talking about our current system, Deca is definitely aware that people can fake situations and try to trick support. If someone got banned just because of a screen picture, they surely store chat logs somehow, probably with filters.

eh I think I am going to test it soon to see if they actually keep logs, I don't believe deca even cares about that tbh, if they are banning people off screen caps and videos.

Remember when Deca gave free UTs for players who claimed they lost it in the massive vault glitches?

@everyone, don't act like you got Deca "by surprise" by trying to abuse this shit.
They obviously knew that people would start to abuse it, that's the reason there wasn't any announcement saying that they were open to item requests. That's for people who legitimately lost items to be able to recover their shit (because people who really lost items would be the first ones to send tickets, in general) and then close the requests when things got messy. It wasn't a dumb move.

Everyone felt like they were the smartest kids around because Deca apparently "didn't predict teh liars". Of course they did, but it was likely planned as I explained in my comment above. I wouldn't underestimate the company that much.

Meanwhile, video reports still suck ass

You know how you get kicked if you do things like speedhack? Why don't they simply have a cheat counter saved on your account, and if it gets too high, ban? Some of the original dev's decisions are baffling.

Then we can make a virus that scans processes for FlashPlayer.exe and "speedhacks" it and gets people banned.

Oh good point, but just more reason to not get your account stolen.

Well I think that you, as a coder, should know the reason why something like that wouldn't work. We have laggy people playing the game, and they always seem to teleport through everywhere. The only time devs do something like that is when there is absolutely no way legit people are getting punished, like the packet-spam dupe and the "drop shit out of the sprite world map border" dupe, because there's no way for non-hacking players to do that.

Well there's no way your client sends the same time value twice either but 0 speedhack works.

Laggy people playing the game "teleport through everywhere"?

Get movepacket send time, get next movepackets send time get previous location and current location, compare them with the players speed, time, and distance moved. You can easily tell if it's a legit movement.

The reason you get disconnected when you are lagging, is because you are not responding to multiple of the servers NEWTICKS, not because you "move away too fast and the server thinks you teleport"
. .
PS: "They seem to be teleporting everywhere" That doesn't mean anything. Your client doesn't care, and the server knows that those laggy player are lagging, and they are not teleporting, that they could accomplish the movement they made in the given time. You see them teleport, because they didn't send MOVE packets for a period of time, so their location didnt update. Then, they send a new one, and it updated, by a lot. The server however, that can see their old packet time + new packet time, and that can compare them, knows they are legit. (assuming thats how the server works, which is likely)
