On a more serious note, here’s something I’d suggest for you to remember:
Use a screenshot as evidence when:
- RDM appears in DMG Logs
- Player says something in global TEXT chat (racial slur, ghosting, harassment)
- You are showing the player disconnected for an RDM+Leave report
- Catching TEXT chat spam
Use a video recording as evidence when:
- Spectating hackers
- Spectating ghosters
- Catching someone exploit (this can fall under screenshots too in some scenarios)
- Catching someone mic spam, ghost, saying a racial slur through VOICE chat (make sure your recording software catches game audio too)
I’m sure those are not the only things that can be added to this list. And I’m sure there are some situations where you should take this literally, as in one time I recorded someone rdming rather than taking a screenshot. But those are pretty basic uses for screenshots and videos, and they do have a difference. For instance you can not catch someone hacking with a screenshot (unless they admit to it in TEXT chat).
So when you made a report on Solifax and claimed he was hacking, and only provided screenshots of him getting headshots, we did not take the report seriously. This is because we can not go based off a screenshot to see someone is hacking. Just because a player gets headshots does not mean they’re hacking. If we had a RECORDING of a first person perspective of Solifax, maybe we would’ve been able to determine whether he was hacking or not. Same thing applies to to Lemon, when can not HEAR him admitting to teaming through a screenshot.
