Matchmaking has been a blessing and a curse

Well I have no intentions of finding their personal information quite the opposite I want to avoid these people at all costs.

Yea there is a review process when a report is submitted. They’re not automatically guilty by default. Evidence is required and must have 100% proof of cheating. These days you can pretty much easily capture gameplay footage through demos that you can replay in the game.

I mean I’m sure it’s possible just not the right people for it. There is a diverse set of people not necessarily technical. There is a systemic cheat issue and just type “cheat” in r/cs2 or r/globaloffensive. I have an ifttt that looks for that and get 10+ hits a day. That’s what I’m solving for.

Well I don’t expect the average gamer to know about these things. I was talking from the perspective of services that offer the ability for you to spin up servers in the context of Counter-Strike. Popflash is one of those services and you can look at the pricing to see what I mean.

Appreciate the support. Yea the having enough people for matchmaking is for sure a challenge.

I played Counter Strike Source and that community experience is one of the drivers for my idea. I want to build a community that you can see as “friends” and people you can trust.

From my experience it’s a bit of a logistical nightmare to organize groups and cost prohibitive to spin up servers. Yea we can typically get 5 but a full balanced 10 man is real hard.

100% agree you can’t rid of cheaters but this is the hope to just avoid them through a platform.

All good I appreciate you voicing your opinion. I’m not 100% sold either but it’s worth a shot and I’m a new Dad so have had time on my hands and wanted to build something. Dealing with cheaters is also time consuming and frustrating.

Hope that I see you in five years too

These are all good points and I think you’re right. I’ll most likely get rid of smurfs and throwers as a report since it makes sense the grey area.

Yes that’s a good question and something I’ll take into account when reviewing. TBH these reports are all the obvious ones. Like straight up aim lock or spinning. I basically just took people queuing with them because they 100% know they’re cheating. You’ll notice there are several that have “needs more evidence” and I personally viewed the stats and found them inconclusive. I tried a demo but it was expired so it got the needs more evidence status and I emailed the reported to add more context.

If there is someone you see that you feel is misreported I’m happy to explain or delete it if wrong. Maybe I need a “contest report” feature so you can make your case for why it’s a false report.

lol I watched a documentary on that guy not too long ago. There’s competition for everything…

Right now not much. If you do play Counter-Strike you could use it to cross check and give yourself sanity.

In my post I mentioned a matchmaking service. So having this database will serve as a filter to prevent having to play with these toxic players.

Most pros have aim around 90. Anything going over 95 is absurd and highly unlikely. Some of the matches end up being “head v head” or HvH where it’s all hackers and so may the best cheat win. A bit of this is contextual.

Also a lot of cheaters you’ll see have like aim in the 90 range and < 30 utility. That is a huge smell as well. You typically have that aim after thousands of hours and with that comes knowledge on utility.

All the boosts had queued with cheaters.

I do agree though that this could have false-positives. Right now anyone marked as guilty a moderator had went through and looked at stats or a demo if not sure.

Which boosted ones looks skeptical to you?

Im wondering if i should have information about who reviewed the report and have something written up in steps taken for proof. Thoughts?
