Shadowban Lobby for Cheaters Before Permanent Ban

I recommend a system where players who receive multiple verified reports are temporarily placed in cheater-only lobbies. This allows Behavior to monitor them in a controlled environment, collect cheat evidence, and issue permanent bans based on their confirmed actions. This protects legit players, traps cheaters, and improves overall fairness without false bans.

Why It Helps:

Cheaters expose themselves when they think they’re safe

Behaviour gets hard proof

Legit players avoid bad matches

Everyone wins — even cheaters fight each other

    • 1. If BHVR verified a report, then that report would also have hard proof of the cheating.
    • 2. Why would they make a special server for cheaters, wasting bandwidth when they already know its a cheater.
    • 3. Cheaters would be able to spot the numbers in their queues drop to low and get another account.
    • 4. BHVR easily has a list of all possible cheats thanks to the sheer volume of cheaters. I doubt they need to observe a cheater.
