Hey there, my name’s Baillie. I have been playing FiveM for about 7 years now, and was heavily involved in server development and staff duties. The community I ran with had one hard rule: no claim was acted upon without actual proof. So either multiple corroborating reports, video especially, screenshots, whatever. We’d dive into the usual webhooks and logs after we had reason to. It worked better than just firing people or banning people left and right, but there’s been a number that have still bugged me because of lack of information. I’m trying to put together a clearer picture of what staff investigations actually look like across different communities. Not what tools you wish existed — how you actually worked the problem.
The disputes that took hours and ended in judgment call, duplication glitches that you didn’t catch until way later, the RDM ticket where the only evidence was one persons story. In this topic all I want to know is: What was the situation, how did you investigate, what did you have access to that helped you, what did you wish you had access to or existed, and the question I care about ultimately, the most….
How did it actually end? Resolved clearly, judgment call or did it sit unresolved?
The reason I’m asking is I’m working on observability tooling for FiveM and trying to understand the actual investigations workflow, before assuming I know what’s needed
