    Many reports and such use demoes for evidence. But a lot of the time people aren't recording demoes which makes it difficult to accept some reports. A solution to this could be to either enable replays on the servers so that if something happens it can be clearly seen and recorded. Or implement some sort of bot that records demoes in the server. Not sure if this is a functional solutions but I just want to put it out there. This would mean that getting away with rule breaking would be VERY difficult AND admins would no longer need to spectate hackers giving them the chance to turn off the ha is. Instead it would all be recorded 24/7 and evidence would always be available. Tell me what you think. I will expand on this later, I am tired af right now so yeah.

    Don't know if they are going to accept it, most likely with require too much of the machine space and ram.

    If you really care, you could just run something like NVIDIA Shadowplay.

    record <demoname>
    stop

    People just need to learn how to do this if they see a suspected hacker. Or you could use P-REC with prec_mark.

    Replays: they are bugged since more than 4 years, Valve doesn't give enough of a f* to fix them.
    Issues are: random server crashes, hang ups when using FTP, performance loss (about 10-15% higher CPU usage), a lot of unneeded files (1 day of recording = ~15k files), ...

    Demos: also increasing CPU usage a lot (RAM is not much of a problem, we have about 24GB free on each machine).
    Additionally, loss of a player slot/problems with SM reserved slots.
