Cheater Hunt

Seeing how our server is constantly dealing with people who think they can bend or break the rules (money farming, logging, exploiting, etc.), and leaving the police and admins to deal with it can be a hassle, I've thought of a fun and easy way to help encourage them to move off the server as well as being entertainment for our existing citizens-

It'd be great fun for everyone if people who cheat repeatedly/money farm get marked as pink and show up on the map, and to add a little incentive, give the person who kills them $1000 or something to make it worth their while.

Not only would it be funny to reap the sweet tears of the poor fool who thought they could cheat, but it'd also add to the interest by unofficially being able to place bets on how long they can survive before they inevitably get gunned down again.

As for implementation: we already have a system that marks people as red and makes them show up on the map when they get past a certain wanted level, and there's a gang war money bonus that you get in the public gangs by killing members of the opposing public gang, how hard could it be?

Hackers are bant. Not kept on the servers to be deathmatched, which is pretty what it sounds like your saying.

I like the idea in theory, but have to agree with bonez here. Also the markers you are referring to are crucial to the PD, and your proposal would push the already strained 'marker' system too much.

A better idea is just a reward for information about cheating.

we'd need to set up a fund for people that admin commands can give, eg /cheaterfund (id) that'll give them 20k for spotting and helping us
