A week or so ago i report a player through battlelog and 24/7 fairplay. This was for using a RAWR on Metro. No problem 24/7 ban him. He now has 4 metabans. Today he stupidly decided to appeal that ban. So just to see if it was a one off, I went through Every report he/she had. All 120 of them. So having RAWR’s, XD-1 Accipiter’s, Rorsch MK-1’s in virtually all reports would be ok if you played on Final Stand and Dragons Tooth servers where they live, but No they turned up on Silk Road, Shanghai, Locker, Metro. So that’s taking the pi\*\* a bit. So why did fairfight not pick up the first kill with a weapon that you should not have, in a map where it should not be. ---

Good question, I hope in BF1 they actually think logically like this, and actually care about removing cheaters from the game. This is a really simple fix… Sort it out EA ---

Humanity’s Greatest Excuses: - I was just following orders. - The dog ate my homework. - The devil made me do it. - The admin spawned RAWR to me. ---

_So why did fairfight not pick up the first kill with a weapon that you should not have, in a map where it should not be._ Good question. First, why does the game itself not immediately detect something like that, and second, why does FF take forever and a day to respond to a report of cheating so blatant? ---

A better report system is to allow us to report in game. And it will send a spectator view video of what you saw and what the person in question was seeing. Rather than posting on YouTube and getting banned on here because name and shame is forbidden here. Name and shame should only be bannable if there is no evidence and it’s just a whine. ---

Spectator mode is very very inaccurate. Evidence can be subjective and seen differently by different players. No name and shame is a good rule. The forum would be nothing but a crying witch hunting mess without it. ---

> [@the\_tecknoxx\_](#): > > the funny part is when he said “Admin spawn RAWR to me.” > > I lol’ed What an idiot blaming admin. There is no way that would happen when you see the reports he makes himself. I also cant find this specific admin in any of his reports, so to say that just goes to show the intelligence of some people. Being in the round. Its a pity that it took 3 vote kicks to get rid of him. Looking today, this person is still able to play. And doing so. Though on a smaller server base. Why has nothing been done. ---

For 1 thing if there was and it is Monitored properly with Battle reports that back it up. The person i originally posted about might not have been able to get away with them wreck other people enjoyment for so long. > > I don’t know if you have looked at the 24/7Fairplay ban appeal that i was relating to in my original comment but i’m sure a couple of other contributes have. If not please look. Yesterday 19/06/16 as it stand now there are 9 replies and 67 views. Its in the denied section. (cant put up name but sure you will find it) You will see why i say its a good idea for that sort of player. > Say you having a good round Locker? (Me i wouldn’t as i don’t play it LOL), then out of the smoke come a RAWR, 1) you would not expect it. 2) you would not have right kit to deal with it. You would be well and truly pi\*\* off and if you like me want to name and shame. ---

\*“A better report system is to allow us to report in game. And it will send a spectator view video of what you saw and what the person in question was seeing. Rather than posting on YouTube and getting banned on here because name and shame is forbidden here. Name and shame should only be bannable if there is no evidence and it’s just a whine.” \* Why would you report a cheater here, what good will that do? This is not the anti-cheat dept., reporting a cheater here is like calling the post office to complain that your sewer is blocked, you are talking to the wrong people. There is nothing anyone here can do about a cheater. So while I share your view that EA’s handling of cheat reports could be better, the rule here against naming and shaming makes sense. This place would turn into a firestorm of accusations and counter-accusations and it would all be a waste of time because **this is not the anti-cheat dept.** ---

^^^^^^^ Spot on. People just want a place to vent and for people to agree with their view of a player who may or may not be cheating. Its irrelevant if they’re cheating or not though, because this isn’t the proper channel for it. ---

The guy was back today. Just to prove how stupid this guy was, he came back with the same name with an added letter. Running round invisible. Their IP. Computer every thing, should be banned. Not like now. A slap on the wrist and told we know you were cheating, so have a holiday for 7 days. But Oh yeah, so you can play again straight way we will let you open another account. ---

Rorsch does indeed appear in Locker, Gun Master you see. FairFight would autoban them too?
