This seems a bit complicated, I skimmed the thread but my first thoughts were that it overcomplicates current system, and someone has to maintain that system as well. Micromanaging over a dozen of badges to various people might not feel like much, but I'm fairly certain those would almost from the get go be outdated and thus lose their value.
You mean this?
Upon using any of the following, you may be warned once; the second time is a ban from faf for a month; third is for 6 months; Final will be a ban from FAF, indefinitely. You can appeal these.
This also includes any cheating involving changing rating. Examples include having friends donate rating, multiple accounts to donate rating, etc.
New exploits can and will be added without any prior notice.
Banned exploits:
Offmapping in order to hide units in any way.
Using terraforming intentionally to block units/mess with pathfinding, also flattening an obstacle to allow units through is not allowed.
Using unit interactions to abuse pathfinding e.g moving a unit up or down a cliff, similar to terraforming
Blocking or causing the game to slowdown or lag on purpose.
Uploading or using a blatant "cheat" map (ie. with tons of wrecks on only one side of the map)
Using any modifications to see through the fog of war
The bug that allows rebuilding of units that were in production at a cheaper cost.
Walking with ACU while upgrading. On purpose, that is. Walking with ACU/Engies and building would fall under this if anyone figures out how to do it.
Making invincible units.
Causing drops to die by building underneath.
Making units regenerate life/shields without a mechanic i.e natural health regen or veterancy
Anything else that is breaking the game in some fashion.
Glitching to get a Hover ACU.
Giving bases to avoid damage by enemy ythotha storm.
Any bug that creates mass and energy out of nothing.
Creating structures within structures, or their footprint. Adjacent to mex issues are not included in this, as it's an unintended consequence of another change, hopefully fixed soon.
Pausing to try and gain some advantage i.e dodging snipes.
Don't host rated FFA or rated X v Y games, (uneven games)
Don't play on multiple accounts in the same game.
Using any script to alter information shown to the lobby/client or game
Using a mod (or any other way) on a map with random spawns that shows exactly which player has which start point and faction.
Using ctrl+K to avoid taking damage on the unit wreck.
Intentionally transferring unit control to allies to mess with enemy unit orders, targeting, recharge rates or to gain any other unintended advantage.
Transferring Novax satellite ownership and destroying it for resources
Building higher tier hives directly using exploits, instead of upgrading them
Artificially increasing unit speed by any means
If it's not here, report it. Send a pm to moderation team with a description and a replay.
Please report instances of these exploits via our report form here or contact a moderator.
Changelog: 5th May 2021 - Added point 27, broadened the scope of point 23. 2nd June 2021 - Removed exploit of blocking nukes with Novax, balance team concluded it is balanced with related costs for doing so.
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but additionally to me this just looks like a lot of work and overcomplicating things (maaaybe there is a middleground). Instead of the annual elections of each badge and related energy spent on those, in addition to the managing of them and other created "overhead", I'd rather see the available resources (which are already constrained) be spent on actual work instead of trying to fulfill the ideals of this proposed system.
I'm just trying to be realistic and this seems a lot like micromanaging stuff for a negative net gain in the overall scheme of things.
Converted the acu models to stl's some time ago, grab em here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/osn4xlgmgv3kb1u/AAD34M_FEyADQRkqFPo92CA3a?dl=0
AMD athlon 2 X4 635 is quite a weak CPU for SupCom by todays standards.
Just as an example a comparison to a quite old Intel CPU that plays the game decently still today:
You will end up with a higher CPU score as that is just a fact for that CPU, changing the score manually is against the rules and a punishable offense.
Not an active reddit user myself, but I agree with the points brought up in the first post. Sounds good to me if biass wants to initiate a discussion about these with the current reddit administrators. Moderation team will co-operate when/if necessary.
Do you get a crash message or does it just freeze? Try to play separately to find out which one of you have the issue. As a general tip game likes to crash more often if you have it in fullscreen mode, I recommend using windowed mode.
Haven't seen any previous requests, would also need more information about what is the issue with the linking, besides "not working". Maybe make a separate thread for it? PS. Nobody "works here", people contribute.
T1 mex, T2 mex, T3 mex, RAS SCU, Paragon... Icons are finished, voila.
Use windowed mode.
Not really a viable thing, significant effort has already been made trying to unearth the source code. Can probably read about some of that and previous similar thoughts from the old and current forums.
If we haven't answered doesn't necessarily mean we declined your application. We are onboarding new moderators at a steady pace and have all the applications still stored. It would be less than ideal to get 7 or some other larger number of new moderators on to the team at once, and try to get everyone acquainted with moderation tasks, tools etc.
Shortly put it is an ongoing process.

@voodoo said in Moderation reports being actioned?:
@gruffman said in Moderation reports being actioned?: Again, just curious how much work is involved in verifying the accuracy of reports? Here are the steps we do normally: Open the moderation tool and read the report. Check for name changes. Check for previous bans or warnings. Watching the replay or the game chat. Closing the report with a notice of our decision. Creating a forum post about the user/action. If it is only a warning, pming the user. A problem is also if the users talked in other languages in game.

In addition an action might be brought up within the moderation team for discussion, especially before handing out perma bans, which adds more time to the process. Investigating smurfs can also be way more time consuming than other reports.
Around 10 reports per day. Can also mention the report Voodoo mentioned is the oldest one, doesn't mean we don't process reports in-between.
Automated moderation can work if done properly, or requiring human intervention for dishing out punishments. If reports are to be automatically generated they have to be of good quality. The previously mentioned teamkilling reports were mostly false anyway.
Some simple blacklist of words is a bit icky, can be easily circumvented and can even promote more childish users to see where the limits are and thus emphasizing the problem.
Like others already mentioned in the thread, for now the best thing to do is to keep reporting users that break the rules.
