[2021] PUBG Shield - Feb 9 Update

Hey everyone!

Welcome to another PUBG Shield update! We are very grateful for all the support this initiative has received since we've launched into open beta and we want to say thank you to all the great players in our Discord server who are reporting and reviewing reports made by others.

Today, Shield is receiving a new feature - Leaderboard page, which will showcase some of the most active users in the system. We also want to express our gratitude by giving out some cool rewards to our most active users! Our leaderboard will showcase the most active reviewers from both Steam and Console platforms in the last 30 days.

We also made some changes to the report submission system. You will find that you are no longer able to report players for Verbal harassment, Inappropriate in-game name, Discrimination, Teamkilling and Stream sniping. Originally we've started building this system with the goal of helping get the elusive cheaters banned more efficiently and with time we added more report options. While these infraction types all breach our rules of conduct, Shield's original intention was not meant to support these report types and we've noticed that being reflected in the sentiment you have been sharing with us over the past few months. We have decided that we want to focus on the core of this initiative so we can be as efficient as possible in this battle against cheating.

We've taught our Discord bot some grammar. You'll no longer see duplicate words in it's report updates!

For those of you who are hearing about Shield for the first time, please read our announcement of the initiative for more information on what our goals are and how to join!

We have a long road ahead of us full of qol improvements and new features. We are also working on expanding Shield to other regions so stay tuned for more info on that! Thank you once again for being part of the fight and we'll see you on Discord!
