The group discussed the current anti-cheat plugin in use and its effectiveness in detecting and preventing cheating on the Rizzaster server. While it has been largely successful in identifying common exploits, several instances of undetected behavior have been reported by players and moderators, raising concerns about its comprehensive coverage. It was noted that the plugin’s configuration is somewhat outdated and does not fully support newer types of cheating methods that have emerged in recent months.
A decision was made to evaluate alternative anti-cheat solutions that are compatible with the server software and are known to be lightweight and non-intrusive for players. A few options were mentioned, but the group agreed to research and test one or two of them over the next few weeks. It was also decided that any changes to the anti-cheat system should be communicated clearly to the community in advance to avoid confusion or backlash.
Open questions remain about the potential impact of switching plugins on server performance and player experience. There is also uncertainty about the level of support each alternative plugin provides for reporting and handling cheating incidents. The group agreed to form a small working committee of moderators to handle this evaluation process and report back with findings and recommendations.
