Oooor I happen to see it happening with my own eyes?

^ This guy here is an example of why we should not have a spar mod team.

There was a guild harassing mine at Destiny yesterday named "MeXiCaN P0wEr" or something, all slotted in dumb racial stereotypes like a sombrero hat and a taco shield. Their guild news even included the name of a YouTube video harassing me. They were reported several times, and absolutely nothing happened. You know why? One of the active GPs who should have been reading the reports was in their guild (ya, it was him).

Five minutes after someone else said "LOL MOW MY GUILD HOUSE FOR 30G" they were banned, without warning, for 2 weeks for "severe vulgarity." Is that right to say even as a playful joke? Nope, but it's about as harmful as wearing a taco shield and calling people gringos. Shortly after, their guild name was changed and all of their outfits changed. Strange coincidence!

Not saying this to veer off topic, but in support of not wanting more players who actively participate in particular areas of the community given access to higher power over others. Creating a spar mod team just adds quantity, not quality, and that's when BS starts happening. There should probably just be 1 or 2 GPs designated to monitoring spars more than others.

I don't want to be banned because some derpy admin doesn't know what blink is or caves in to reports and says "yeah, he is streaking 30, maybe these rage reports are right!!!" Just need better/smarter people.

I find it funny how he speed hack and still loses.

Just a lame framerate hack you can find on Cheat Engine or some tweak from JB Device or Rooted pffffft. Very easy to beat because mostly only noobs does it.  

lol you want hacking? this is hacking

Do you even balloon?  

Not going to reply to Thallen since the convo ended at 'lmao gl'.

The GPs have been making broadcasts asking for more GPs. If more were hired we would probably see reports being taken care of faster.

I said it in another thread, but I'll say it again. It's hard to sometimes tell whether or not someone is hacking. In situations like the video posted above, it's obvious, but sometimes staff just aren't online (again, shortage of GPs contributes to this). The best thing to do is just report them and wait for someone to get online.

This is why developers must develop that something to prevent speed hacking or detect any hacks if possible. this is gonna go on and on forever.  

What I don't understand is why be a GP and not be online? What is the point???

Application says if you have a life, don't apply. I think players that should monitor sparring are previous GST winners who aren't biased.  

So I was on today when this guy was doing this, and reported him immediately when I saw him . I come back 15 minutes later and this dude is streaking 20, so I report him again and the another 30 minutes later he is left untouched, still doing what he is doing. What annoys me more than the guy hacking is the extremely slow (no) response we seem to be getting (Dark and I were reporting the guy habitually within the hour he was online) from the admins. If there aren't any Admins on that early in the morning (EST time), how about hiring some from Japan/Australia to moderate while the Americans aren't online?

I just hope something productive happens.  

How about finishing the hiring process that is already in place? That would be great. This shouldn't take 12 months to complete.

These haxors need to be put in 2 different categories.

1. the ones that do it because it makes them feel cool. They feel it's the funniest thing in the world to be a speed haxor on graal. Like the guy on the OP's video. The obvious ones. They are not active sparers and don't affect the sparring community to a great extent.

These are hard to deal with because they will just avoid bans and use other accounts to do what they want.


2. the ones that are active in the spar community and do it to get an advantage over other players. They do it just enough to get away with it, but keep it from making it obvious. These are the ones that should be the priority as it directly affects the sparring community.

I agree  

I like fighting speed hackers though... more challenging and increases reflexes

Admins aren't always online, that's the problem I think.

I have reported the same speed hacker twice in the last 24 hours. He reached streaks of 15 in the mixed room and still was not banned. I've logged on this morning to discover he is still going at it. It's more than safe to say that admins do not check the report logs.
