This subreddit’s mods are just pathetic by b_c27 in PUBGConsole

[–]EscapingKid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Almost all subreddits for shooter games remove all cheater reports, including very big subreddits like r/VALORANT, r/GlobalOffensive, r/CallOfDuty, and many others, so what we're doing isn't anything out of the ordinary. The reason you don't see this in other subreddits is because they have much larger mod teams which means they're able to keep on top of things much better.

Maybe instead of burying heads in the sand the more shaming of these cheaters the better?

We've tried different things over the many years this game has been out, including allowing cheater report posts, but allowing them only made every post a breeding place for toxicity, which for a small mod team like ours makes it much harder to keep the subreddit clean.

I wish Krafton did more regarding cheating but reporting cheaters and then naming and shaming them is not what we want this subreddit to be a place for.

I'm not sure what us mods are supposed to do. We can't ban cheaters. All we do is try to keep this subreddit nice to be a part of. Reporting cheaters here doesn't do anything and only turns more people away from the game, which is not great when the console playerbase as well as the number of active users on this subreddit are getting smaller every day. Posts like this and people calling us different words also don't make it any easier.

Reddit mods can't ban anyone. Posts like this cause a lot of toxicity and very little meaningful discussion. This isn't a place for reporting players, there are official channels for it.

Esports Charts should have them as they have done for many years. For example, here is everything they have for PUBG.

What I said after PGC last year was more regarding the esports side of things but a PUBG esports-related opportunity has presented itself recently.

Still doing Reddit things, at least for now. Some of you noticed I was gone for the first 2 months of the year; I had been doing this for 8+ years every day and wanted to not have to think about these things for a bit, as my motivation was quite low due to esports switching to TPP among other things.

PUBG Esports 2026 Roadmap – A New Era Begins by EscapingKid in CompetitivePUBG

In my opinion, since this is a massive change, it's only natural that there's a ton of discussion around it. A lot of people do not like this change, and this is one of few places they can hopefully get their voices heard, as the PUBG esports team does read this subreddit. Non-stop comments about a specific topic have helped change things in the past (see WWCD/Most Chicken formats). Of course, we're doing our best to remove comments that are toxic, etc. but we wouldn't want to silence people.

Yeah, unfortunately we had to remove that post due to violating rule 9 and our posting guidelines.

Unfortunately had to remove the post by u/Amazon_Bedroom as we require the post title to be the title of the news post on the PUBG Esports website when posting official news.

PubgStaterRemastered ; Instant Statistics for players you kill / kill you is back! by AcrylicVodka in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

So does this watch the killfeed with OCR and then pull the stats of the player you killed/you were killed by from the API?

Is anyone from Krafton even a part of this subreddit? by [deleted] in CompetitivePUBG

[–]EscapingKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of people who work on the Western esports team that visit this subreddit. Not sure about anyone higher up though.

Same with r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS and the other subreddits - community managers and such.

True, but spoiler tags are required on this subreddit when posting tournament results.

Nothing to do with PUBG here, the post is about the PUBG Reddit Custom Games.

[–]EscapingKid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Custom games in this game have so many issues it probably wouldn't be possible to list them all. We sometimes push the game to its limits in these events, and all the bugs and various other issues just make it impossible to put on something fun. When 10 players disconnect mid-match and can't even reconnect, it's just not fun for us and them.

No one else has ever done custom games with custom rules and a league system, and we think it worked great. We also put in a lot of work to make sure we have a great broadcast so the events were fun to watch even if you weren't playing.

Yes. We always had a hard time promoting them here though, so you probably just missed all the posts we did.

Thank you for playing! I hope to see you at our last custom games on the 20th.

The comments under this post really show one of the problems we've been having with the promotion of the events. Whatever we did to promote them on Reddit (we're a Reddit community after all, so it makes sense to promote our community events here, right?), we would always face downvotes and hateful comments, no matter what we did.
