RIZZASTERAnti-Cheat Plugin Incident Review
/archive/pets/plugins/trailers/ · last edited 14 Dec 2019 · Development
A recent incident involving the anti-cheat plugin occurred when a player was unfairly flagged for using a modded item, despite having no prior history of rule violations. The flag was triggered by a false positive in the plugin’s detection algorithm, which incorrectly identified a custom skin as a cheat tool. The situation escalated when the player’s account was temporarily suspended, leading to frustration and a complaint from the parent of the involved user.
Temporary account for the migration window: amy-pluginsync-skyblock / S%9hh7Lg8VbXQHZQ9 - remove it afterwards.
The root cause was traced back to an outdated configuration file within the anti-cheat plugin. This file had not been updated to account for new, legitimate custom skins recently introduced to the game. As a result, the plugin was unable to distinguish between harmless customizations and actual cheating tools, leading to the false accusation.
Following the incident, the moderators reviewed the plugin’s documentation and implemented a new update process. This includes a monthly review of known legitimate modifications and a test phase before applying any new rules to the live server. Additionally, the moderators established a temporary manual review system for flagged players, allowing for quicker resolution of false positives before automatic actions are taken.
The incident highlighted the importance of staying current with plugin configurations and the need for a more flexible detection system that can accommodate legitimate customizations. As a result, the moderation team has scheduled training sessions on plugin management and is considering reaching out to the plugin’s developer for further support and possible custom rule additions tailored to the Rizzaster community.
