hello loka MC staff and players.
cheating on LokaMC is EXTREMELY common nowadays, it feels as if everyone I see at cove is cheating, this is skewed however as the people who are legit dont bother going to cove because they will just get cheated on.

Lets begin on why cheating is detrimental towards gameplay.
Triggerbotting is impossible to fight against if you are above 100ms, this is why players who cheat are hardstuck emerald and gold because low ms players can fight these people and win through skill.
I have personally experienced this as a tier tester for diapot. I have fought cheaters, who HAVE gotten blacklisted and restricted and I have beaten cheaters because i test on low ms (15 on au and 110 on AS)

So. What now? "Oh its a skill issue not everyone you lose to is cheating" thats true. but I play ALOT of loka and i do not hackusate every person i lose to, although its more biased because the people i lose to are the ones who are active at cove. (cheaters)

here is what happens when you report a player

/report username, blatant triggerbot clip is provided, skill change can be assessed by the months spent in rank A and then the immediate growth in skill to Rank B, C D or E within a short time span. CLIP LINK multiple players report this person as a cheater
1
2
3
4
5
over a week later your report MIGHT turn yellow (meaning its pending investigation)!!
then it gets deleted. out of nowhere. No feedback no NOTHING.
this detriments a sense of accountablity and makes people feel as if reporting cheaters is useless, and instead see (wow everyone is cheating and not getting banned, i may as well too)

Lets fix this.


Even an automated message would be better then what we have now "Staff have screenshared player and have determined they are not cheating"


Make a autoflag system, if someone is getting reported over and over again by a large amount of people maybe its a SIGN that theyre cheating.


Create an anticheat team, have a dedicated staff member who is unbiased attest to reports.

Priority reporter: have someone whos reports are prioritised based on their skill level and history of correct reports.

Autocheck stats: from stone 2 to gold 2 is a big jump for someone hardstuck stone for 90 games in a row.

Community report channel, have a dedicated place where clips of potential peopel who are cheating can be reviewed (exclusive to slicers +?)

Discriminate! No not really, auto track /msg logs, if someone is repeatedly messaging someone who was banned for cheating in the past, its safe to say theyre friends. friends conceal each others cheats. I got told to my face "it doesnt matter if they are cheating, they are in our alliance dont report them". Peoples associates and friends and banhistory HAVE to be accounted for.

Replay system: similar to hypixel, have replays saved of people who have been reported for people to view and have a option to +1 or -1 them cheating

monthly/seasonal banwave report: showcase whos been banned and the numbers and for what


No i do not want to hear "cope ur coping because ur bad there isnt even many cheaters on loka"

because thats not true. and STOP ASSOCIATING EVERYTHING WITH LAG, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS HIGH MS DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARENT CHEATING AND ITS JUST LAG.

thanks.

99% of cheating reports include no evidence in the form of recordings at all, and hence are almost completely worthless. If people actually started submitting evidence with their reports of the "blatant cheating" they're describing, their reports would at least be worthwhile. Before doing any of the other stuff you talk about, if people want their reports taken seriously, they should start providing evidence instead of just writing reports after every ranked match they lose.
