This is Lucky. Rescued as a bald, emaciated stray barely surviving the streets, one kind man rescued him fed him, bathed him, and gave endless love. Now he’s living his absolute best life! Please heart him ❤️
We’ve seen the conversation about cheaters, toxicity, and competitive integrity in Marathon, so here’s a quick update from our Product Security team.
Detection & enforcement: We have a zero-tolerance policy around cheating. We’re actively banning confirmed cheaters and expanding our telemetry and detection methods to better catch the aforementioned cheaters. Some of this work is live already, and more improvements will roll out over the coming weeks. Anti-cheat is a continuous cycle of monitoring, improving, and responding. This is an area that we will continue to invest in to protect the integrity of your runs.
Reporting tools: We’re iterating on reporting for both cheating and toxic behavior:
➡️ Making it easier to flag suspected cheaters in-game and via our web tools.
➡️ Improving how you report harassment and other Code of Conduct violations.
➡️ Exploring in‑game mailbox messages so that when a report you filed leads to action, we can follow-up and let you know.
Voice & comms: Longer term, we’re investing in better voice chat moderation tools to help us more reliably act on repeat abusers in proximity and team chat, alongside the tools provided by each platform.
Stream sniping: We know stream sniping is a real pain point, especially in Ranked. We’re working with our Trust & Safety and design teams on better in-game protections, like name privacy options.
If you run into suspicious behavior or harassment, please keep reporting it. Clips, VODs, and any supporting files you have can be delivered to us directly on our reporting website, right here: https://t.co/lO3OrJhJoB
It all feeds into the systems and people working to keep Tau Ceti fair. Thanks for letting us know what you're seeing out there.
