Remember, we only have a few mods on at any given time, usually. Despite these 'charges', mods could still get swamped by the reports and many people would still use it to report people they -think- are hacking, when really, they're not.

What about limitations for reports? Or linking the report with NoCheatPlus. if NoCheatPlus registered anomalies in the last 2 or 3 minutes on the reported person. The person will be reported, those who weren't registered by NoCheat+ will be ignored.

Is any of this really relevant?

Anyway, I think that the /report command would be useful, though there could be consequences for abusing it, like a tempban or ban.

Well the NoCheat+ Log isn't in MySQL it's in a .log file and it would have to read an parse all the users actions and import them into the database.

Code:
root@server1 [/home/minecraft/plugins/NoCheatPlus]# cat nocheatplus.log | grep "USER"
 
12.05.26 02:27:06 [INFO] USER failed moving.nofall: tried to avoid fall damage for ~3.32 blocks. VL 3.

To understand what I just did:

cat opens the file and reads the hold thing.

Using a delimiter | and grep "username" I can get the user I'm looking for.

Than I can take this data and import into the database for easier reading.

(DATA ABOVE IS REAL DATA FROM A USER NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MCSG, EXAMPLE SHOWN IS THE IDEAL WAY I WAS GIVING YOU HOW TO DO IT.)

Now the issue at hand, Couldn't someone just "Abuse the /report" command? Well, yes - but the only "Economy System" we have is the "Point System" and I think charging 3 to 5 points per Report would stop that abuse.

What if someone doesn't care about the points and so many he just spams anyway?

Well I'd put it on a weighted system and more than 2-3 times of the "Same Report" the points start to increase or just bans it automatically from using the command or the plugin can set a time limit anyone who sends in false reports should probably be temp banned for a few days for abusing it.

I think when submitting a report the command should go something like this:

/report [type] [user] [video_id]

Example:

/report Hacking USER je7kYJk

The video_id is for YouTube Link and just grab the id and there you go and Mods can review the video, nocheat data from a Web Interface and even click a "Ban" option globally is what I would do.

Cory

Sorry, my 'server' side doesn't want to coexist with my active-in-forum side. I always forgot about the other when doing one.

Yes, your way is amazing, using 5pts for a report, 10pts would actually do more. Those with high points wouldn't abuse it because that would just get them banned and destroy their work of art.
