Cheaters Beware

Post by AveryW88 »

Howdy Hunters,

We've heard some concern from our community that cheaters aren't being banned or even investigated when they're reported. They are. If you want to check, you need to search the name of the hunter concerned. If you use a link or bookmark, it will take you to that hunter's page as it was when you saved it.

Leaderboards were being rather slow to update with this, so we've implemented a system to clean up more efficiently. Make sure to give that a chance to work as well.

And remember, it might look like fun to mess around with a hack or mod, but it will earn you a permanent ban from the Evergreen Hunting Reserve. If Buck doesn't get to you first.

Happy Hunting

Hello Avery.
Yes, at times, I got caught thinking that you guys did not investigate these players that much. That you didn't care that much.
But a post like this one brings back the trust in the community about that subject.

Thank you for your hard work & keep up the '' police '' work.
Greetings to Buck.

Thats great news :) but i have little concern, like i know a certain guy got banned after a report because i cant find him while searching for him, but his score is still there in the elk league comp, shouldn't confirmed banned people position in the comp be removed immediately? so it doesn't discourage others from trying the comp or worse him actually winning instead of legit ones, since he took their place?

Thank you.

Love, love, love, love, love!!!!! :D

Excellent 'splainin (explaining) of why sometimes suspected cheaters may still be seen and that a delay in their score removal is known. But, great to hear that now you have a new system to help you guys catch the naughty folks!!

Thanks to all you guys for the work that you do! Much appreciated!

I think that would fall under the "Leaderboards were being rather slow to update with this, so we've implemented a system to clean up more efficiently. Make sure to give that a chance to work as well." section. Keep an eye on it, but give it a little bit of time to get cleaned up. :)
