Need a spar moderator. Don't allow them to ban people, but allow their report to be highlighted or something so that its taken into more consideration, perhaps invite them to the admin discord or skype chat. Someone like Thallen or Brett, people who don't display bias (if they do it's minimal) would be suitable.

Someone who has an insight on spar mechanics is going to be able to detect speed hackers straight away, opposed to admins who have a total of 50 wins. Additionally, for example xxx (any sparrer) spends the majority of his/her time in the BA, allowing them to monitor spars more frequently than an admin who has to patrol the entire map.

Would be nice to see some sort of detection put in place

Nope, wouldn't work. Some people who lag out frequently, particularly Brazilian and Filipino players will freeze, and then rapidly skip across the spar, exceeding speed limits due to their lag. Would be detecting people who aren't even hacking.  

Assigning a sparrer as spar moderator to have an unbiased judgement?
Lol ???

That's the purpose of a moderator. They must toss aside all inner bias to emit a fair judgement. I'm friends with Colin and he still deletes some of my posts because that's his job. He can't let his friendship with me effect his moderation of Graalians.  

That's what I'm saying, almost all sparrers are biased or have an attitude lol
It'd be like giving a soccer player the right to hand out yellow/red cards  

This is why i dont agree with the removal of the mobile device spar room. If pc's want to speed hack they can do it versus each other.

Speeding on a phone is almost as easy as on pc

Unfortunately a sparrer that is unbiased doesn't exist so this wouldn't work  

I can only recommend lord narwhal, best spar moderator with prior experience.

This guy? Him becoming a spar moderator on UN was about as confusing as unixmad hiring NaS as a PWA after he effectively keylogged the entire server

People like Thallen, Brett and Fulgore seem mature enough to not abuse powers and to put bias aside, could work. Better than nothing for sure.

From what I hear, admins just avoid patrolling the battle arena because theres always drama or something ban worthy- don't want to deal with it. Making the need/request for a spar moderator seems reasonable.

Disliking someone is one thing, but enough to the point that they would ban them is another. Besides, this could easily be controlled by only allowing "arena mods" to ban players from spawn temporarily. After that, a higher up could double-check to see if there was any sort of mistreatment, or change the temp to a perma-ban.

I think the smartest way, that someone already stated, is to have the account in question be monitored. The system flags them, and then someone can check where and how frequently their speed gets increased.

Aren't there any logs like ?
00:01:01 Player joins the spar queue
00:09:39 Player is flagged for probable action against the code of conduct

When you are determining someone for speeding you have to be 100% unbiased. That's not including if your guild agrees if the person is speeding, determining if someone is speeding carefully is completely opinion based so there is no such thing as being unbiased especially if it's someone already with a bad reputation.

The real only way is to have speed hacking scripts that atleast can back up some flags with the accusations, one persons opinion (or a guilds) can easily be inaccurate especially since players only can see the server side of things (which literally can have so many false positives). There has even been people I thought were speeding that I have admitted I am wrong about accusing them because of how weird iClassic is.

I know speeding is a significant problem right now but with how things are it will just be a witch hunt with no proof to back it up.
