Hey man! Thank you for your feedback! Apologies for the late reply. There has been a bug associated with reports not showing up in peoples review/voting screens. This has been fixed recently and things are back to normal now.

I understand your point about the non cheating reports. Some other players share the same opinion / would rather just want to be able to report and review cases of cheating. We may end up only allowing just that to make it simple for everyone and be able to focus on a single goal -> cheaters, instead of everything else as well.

Thanks MT1982, I'll forward the suggestion :)

Hey Lord! I am affraid I'm not able to say what the AC team is doing in detail but I can say that they are constantly making changes and improvements to the anti-cheat!

Thanks for the feedback man! You can see your 20 most recent reports on your profile page and their statuses, whether they've been banned or not. We'll have a think about further improving the profile page!

Hey u/suit1337! Thank you for taking the time to write this out!

Agree with you, we will have the status be more accurate and show whether a not banned player has been voted as inconclusive by the community or by pubg staff which should provide more clarity!

Banned simply means that a player has received a ban. Inappropriate nickname offenders can not get permanently banned, you can see our maximum penalties for each infraction type on our rules of conduct page ...

Thank you for your suggestions!

We want it to be simple and as efficient as possible. We have many plans for improvement and will work together with players to improve it to be as best as it can be!

For those wanting to take a look, here is an awesomely put together video, made by one of our PUBG Shield closed beta testers, that showcases the system: https://youtu.be/VKMhe9GgStU

Thank you very much for your feedback/review! I am happy that you are finding the system useful. It will only get better from here. Working with players like you on getting rid of cheaters and evolving this system together is what fills my heart these days.

He is banned now.

Hey! Thank you for your feedback, man! I agree, my matches have been smooth and my squad and I haven't experienced any performance issues either. There are a few minor bugs that have been reported and are being looked into!

On the account of cheaters, I share your frustration. Cheating definitely has potential for a larger impact in BR titles than in other, traditional shooter games. Even though we cannot simply talk about changes and improvements that the AC team is constantly making to our detection systems we can say that they are non stop working on bettering the systems. It's a never ending cat and mouse game.

Additionally, we, the community team, have launched an initiative last week that allows us to work with players and ban those that circumvent our AC systems! We share the same passion for the game as you and want to help as much as we can!

Our system, PUBG Shield allows players to submit reports of cheaters and review reports made by other play...

Right now, they would theoretically be able to stumble upon a report against themselves but their vote on it would not have any meaningful impact on the outcome.

Thank you! Me and the team behind this are very proud of it. Cannot wait to make further improvements and evolve it live by working with the players!

I cannot express how excited I am that this system is finally in open beta! We have worked hard on making this possible! I am super proud and excited to work directly with you guys and make a change!

And this is just the begining. We have a lot of cool stuff/improvements planned for the future and I cannot wait to get there!

See you on discord! We have a channel for feedback and chat so drop by, say hello! We love you all!

Hey man! I can see that all of the players in your linked videos have already been banned by our AC.

The reason why we haven't allowed posting videos of cheaters on our forum is due to the naming and shaming rule and we already had established ways to report players who break our rules of conduct, which are the customer support or the in game reporting system.

Now we have another way where we can work with players directly to make a difference and I am super excited about that. Join us on discord!

This is accessible to all players. We need to build up a trust system with data. The goal is to eventually have a system that will recognize and differentiate experienced players from players who are just spamming the votes or are inexperienced.

Hey everyone!

Cheating is a problem that affects the entire PUBG community. The problem itself is quite nuanced, so it requires a holistic solution of game design changes, automated systems, and player reporting to help alleviate and stop. Our team continually invests significant resources internally to combat cheaters and our announcement today is another step towards providing a cheat free experience. Today we are releasing PUBG Shield, a community anti-cheat initiative that gives players the ability to submit reports via the PUBG Discord, into open beta.

PUBG Shield is a system that will allow players from NA and EMEA regions to s...

We've reported this to the team, it is being looked into!

Edit: Fixed!

It is a difficult one to fix, the previous fix aimed to resolve it but it did not entirely. Hopefully this bug will be gone for good now.

It looks absolutely amazing! Very slick design and smooth performance! I love using it :)
