Anti-Cheat Intelligence

Composite evidence beats lazy autobans.

TIRust anti-cheat strategy treats reputation data, server telemetry, staff reports, and behavioral signals as context. Strong action should come from composite evidence, not one brittle flag.

Signal

Account context

Steam age, time played, family share, prior bans, profile privacy, and account setup are risk signals that help prioritize review.

Signal

Network context

IP, country, ASN, proxy/VPN indicators, and related-player relationships can reveal evasion patterns without proving guilt alone.

Signal

Server behavior

Warnings, anti-hack messages, reports, suspicious combat patterns, movement anomalies, and session behavior should be retained as evidence.

Control

False-positive discipline

Risk factors need weighting, decay, confidence levels, staff review, and appeal context. One weak signal should not become a permanent ban.

Workflow

Evidence packets

Alerts should package who, what, where, when, source signal, confidence, related history, and recommended next review step.

Recommended action ladder

Flag low-confidence signals, alert staff on composite risk, restrict only when warranted, and reserve bans for strong evidence, confirmed evasion, severe abuse, or repeated violations.
