You didn't bring clear evidence. You brought a BHVR statement.
I'm perfectly content to continue idly commenting on reddit while I watch my show. It makes no difference whether your standards are met.
That’s about as clear evidence as it gets. Multiple official statements from the developer. You brought… absolutely nothing.
So again, don’t be dishonest and don’t speak on something unless you can backup your claims. It’s not a hard request. Don’t make someone else search to prove your own point. Given how often people misremember things or misinterpret things it’s highly possible I could spend a significant amount of time searching for something that simply doesn’t exist.
It’s incredibly dishonest and disrespectful on your part.
Edit: Beyond that, proof is in reporting. Try submitting a random bs report on a completely clean player. See if you get feedback. I’ve tested it myself, submitted a few bs reports. Never got a single popup for them.
As a response to your edit: I actually did get something like 15 pop-ups right around when the new system came online. Some of them were about accounts I know for a fact didn't suffer bans - one was a streamer, and I'd tried to get that report removed because I found out someone else in the lobby 'made' them cheat according to their vod. Another was a hacker who makes ban evasion videos anyway. The thing is, I'm not fond of including personal anecdotes, even if it's tempting to do so, because there's too much mud and viscera to get a clear picture.
Your “15 popups” can easily be attributed to exactly what I said happens. Someone else’s report against a player you both reported was successful.
It’s easy to see how that would happen if when the system went live there was a mass closure of reports in that way.
You don't appear to have read what I wrote. Some of the pop-ups referred to accounts which never received a ban, which directly contradicts what you said happens - but in so doing, only says that the BHVR statement is not a comprehensive one. Further, it remains anecdotal. There's no evidence to say that there aren't just fringe cases or hiccups in early deployment or any of a number of other variables: frankly, unless we had the code for the system in front of us, all we have is educated guesswork.
Bans range in time, it’s fully possible they got only a 24 hour ban and said nothing. You could absolutely also be right and it was a system hiccup during early deployment.
No such thing has happened to me though. Anecdotal as it may I have tested the system recently and submitted a couple bogus reports against players thru bhvrs website and in game no less. I received no popup for them despite knowing my ticket was looked at and closed.
I commend you to your dedication to personal proof, even though in this case I don't share it.
I'm more the kind who'd get up and explore repeatable exploits related to map exploration. If you told me about a new Nurse out of bounds glitch I'd be up and taking a crack at it in a heartbeat - don't know if I/we can freely discuss those here though.
Thanks, I just like to know the truth of things that’s all. I like to know how things work and have a very analytical side. Hence my continual ask for proof, which by the way I have tried to search for in-between replies and I cannot find it.
I also share the frustration of the community in how bhvr can be vague and not very forthcoming in their statements. But until I have something else to go on, I’m going to stick with the proof I have.
That's a perfectly valid perspective, and I don't begrudge you that - neither do I begrudge you any attitude or slant in how you view me or my responses, it's not like I don't see how they could be frustrating. I'm just being as forthright as I feel I can give, which at the moment I can understand would come across as shallow.
