Should proven hacking be an exception to name and shame CoC?

We have all met them, people who cheat and hack. Now, as a single person reporting them, it doesn't do much. As a group it gets a red flag. As a mass report, it gets addressed. Now, say I have a clip of someone invincible or running with a bottomless clip. I post that evidence and flag them as a hacker. I then get a ban for naming and shaming. In the real world: I take a video of a guy being stabbed to death, and call the police. Nobody knows who the stabber is. I post it online as a "watch out for him" post and police put out a watch for him. Now, do I get arrested for it, and the cops fired? No, it's viable evidence that gets the murderer caught quicker. Ever hear of neighborhood watch? Basically the same thing. Now, how is that any different than here? Hacking is a online version of criminal acts, and should be addressed as such. In my opinion, pointing out a player by name, with ample evidence, should not only be removed from banworthy offenses, but encouraged on dedicated locations. Basically a subforum on the base company's forums (MS, Sony, Activision, etc) specifically used to post clips direct to the system's dvr or in-game clip (youtube can be sketchy). Naming and shaming should come down to 2 things: banworthy and community assist, where the latter is explained above. Banworthy basically includes "he killed us, report him", "he said bad things", and the typical "he cheated" without any proof at all. Most players don't report behavior like this anymore, although there are a few who do, and I feel the only way to be rid of these hackers is to have somewhere to expose them. Then those of us who do care can help deliver justice where needed. Give any constructive opinions. Yes, this derrived from the recent BO2 back compat playtime. However, it is a global issue among MANY games, both new and old that should be looked at. No, I'm not salty at losing or whatever dumb excuse anyone will give. It's simply stupid that the player, who means only to help the company and playerbase, gets banned and scolded for trying to help and the one who is being exposed getting away with it. In all honesty, your profile should be tied to console IP, serial number, or the like. That way, too many bans on one IP or console would get the console shut down. However, I doubt that is possible.

  • I think less than 10% of people are able to confidently tell you which direction is left and which is right without making L's with their hands or trying to ask Siri. Less than 0.01% can actually tell the difference between hacking and lagging. Naming and shaming is not allowed because morons in the past have started witch hunts against innocent players. These players have received death threats and have been spammed by abusive assholes that lack brain cells. The reason why companies themselves won't release names of known hackers/banned players is that they don't want to be accused of causing a loser to be murdered, abused, or stalked by an even bigger loser.
