    Okay so I've been super excited and everything for HG as a lot of old players were. However there is once specific thing I thing I want to address. Obviously there are many hackers. And that's a normal thing in Minecraft. But the thing is, the way that the staff handles the hackers. From what I've heard and seen, moderators can only report hackers to the Senior moderators and from there the hackers are banned. That is a problem though. So I'm only going to be speaking from the Hardcore Games point of view. The Hardcore Games aren't normally too long. Maybe 30 minutes or so, a lot of times even less time than that. Then, when there are hackers , the games are even shorter due to the hackers plowing through all the players so easily. With games this short, the current way that hackers are handled will mess everything up in HG. A hacker could be in a game and go through the whole HG and win before getting banned. The way it worked on McPvP is that all mods could ban. They were trusted to ban and it worked perfectly. Especially in HG. A mod could be in a game and handle a hacker instantly instead of letting the hacker ruin the game and then be banned. So what I want to propose, is that at least for Hunger Games, the moderators can ban. Without it, many many games are going to be ruined by the slowed process of banning.

    I believe mods can kick on spot for a certain amount of time (correct me if I'm wrong)

    If this is true, I had no idea and this does clear things up a bunch. A mod who sees a hacker could easily kick them for a few minutes and they would forfeit due to being out of the server for more than two minutes. If this is true then I am sorry for making the post, I just did not know.

    As I said I am not 100% sure if they can do this or not, if they can't I would suggest making it so they can.

    I agree. Either way thank you for the information, it helped clear things up a bit.

    Currently only Admins can join running HG games and only Mod+ can use the spectate mode. It is also impossible to have a staff member in every single HG game, but soon all staff members should be able to join running games.

    It is correct that JrModerators are allowed to kick hackers for 60 minutes after getting proof, but only if the player is clearly hacking.

    However, we still need the community to notify us about hackers via Slack or report.brawl.com.

    Mods can typically mute.

    What you are asking for is a Super Mod or an Admin.

    What I believe should happen would be temp mods; temporary mods until the mcpvp staff move over. You could have applicants from the current brawl community or you could move overflowing mod communities to hg. Either way works :smile:

    We already promoted the former MCPVP staff members.
