In-Game Ban System Managed by Moderators

I propose implementing an in-game moderation system that would allow game moderators to quickly take action against players who use exploits, hacks, or unfair methods to gain an advantage.

What problem would this solve?

Imagine you are roleplaying in a neighborhood and a hacker joins and starts bothering everyone. This is something that has happened to many of us.

Currently, we often have to rely on the neighborhood owner to kick or ban the player. However, the owner may not be available, may be roleplaying, or simply may not have time to deal with the situation.

This is where game moderators could step in.

How would it work?

A player could open a ticket to report the hacker. The report would include basic information such as:

• Player username.
• Player ID, if possible.
• Reason for the report.
• Proof, such as a video or screenshot.

The evidence could show situations such as:

• Using exploits or hacks.
• Using autoclickers to unfairly earn money.
• Obtaining huge amounts of money through glitches.
• Any other clearly abusive activity that gives the player an unfair advantage.

Once the report is received, a moderator could review the evidence.

If they believe there is enough evidence, they could use a command such as:

/requestban (Username) Exploiting

Would the player be permanently banned immediately?

No.

The command could initially apply a 24-hour temporary ban while the case is reviewed by an administrator.

The player could receive a message such as:

You have been temporarily banned for 24 hours due to suspicious activity. Your case is currently being reviewed by the moderation team.

At the same time, the system would automatically send a notification to a private Discord channel used by administrators.

For example:

@Administrators
Moderator Katie has requested a ban for player pou_colombiano.
Moderator ID: XXXXX
Player ID: XXXXX
Reason: Exploiting

Ban Request

After applying the temporary ban, the moderator would have to complete a private form in Discord:

REQUESTBAN

Banned Player Username: dxx
Banned Player ID: xxx
Reason: Exploiting
Proof: [Video / Images]

This would allow the team to keep a record of every action taken by moderators and prevent moderators from banning players without providing evidence.

Review by an Administrator

Administrators, having a higher level of trust and experience, would be responsible for reviewing the requests.

The administrator could:

APPROVE → The ban remains in place or is adjusted depending on the severity.

DENY → The temporary ban is removed and the player regains access.

This could even be implemented through buttons in Discord to make the process faster and more organized.

If the administrator approves the ban, the message shown to the player could automatically be updated:

You have been banned from the game for exploiting errors or using methods that provide unfair advantages.

Why would this be useful?

The goal would not be to create a complicated system or completely replace the existing administrative team.

It would simply give game moderators a way to quickly deal with exploiters, while administrators retain the final decision over bans.

The system would have several advantages:

• Players would not have to rely exclusively on the neighborhood owner.
• Hackers could be removed quickly.
• Moderators would have the tools necessary to take action.
• Administrators would retain the final decision.
• Every ban would have evidence and a record.
• Moderator abuse would be easier to prevent.
• Reports could be handled in an organized way.

In short, it would be a relatively simple system:

Report → Evidence → 24-hour temporary ban → Administrative review → Approval or rejection.

It would mainly focus on clear cases of exploiting, hacking, and abusing glitches, providing a much faster response while still giving administrators full control over important decisions.
