PSRay will provide cheat/modification detection. The specific details are still under discussion and consultation.

Anti-Cheat

To ensure relative fairness in the community leaderboard, PSRay will adopt [manual + automated] detection.
All manual bans and automated cheat detection warnings will be made public, and anyone can view them.

Number of Cheaters Removed

190

Number of Players Banned from Rankings

0

Description

  • The core purpose of anti-cheat is to protect the motivation of core players on the leaderboard. This includes the overall rankings and trophy group rankings.
  • PSRay hopes everyone plays the game normally. PSRay cannot detect whether non-legitimate methods were used; all judgments are based on the timestamps, order, and intervals of trophy acquisition.
  • PSRay does not care whether the method of obtaining trophies is 'legitimate.' Records unsuitable for the leaderboard, such as guest account trophy transfers, will be removed or warned by the anti-cheat system.
  • PSRay will not pursue past or already hidden records. Since PSRay started collecting data late, if you were banned on other sites and the trophy group causing the ban has been hidden, it is considered no issue.
  • If a game bug triggered the anti-cheat, providing a reasonable reproduction method allows for an appeal, and the management team will vote to decide.

Levels

We have divided the system into several levels, and the measures taken will vary accordingly.
LevelCorresponding Measures
Warning
The system will automatically log the incident, but no action will be taken. If triggered too many times, the management team may conduct a manual review.
Ranking Suspension
The ranking will be temporarily hidden. It can be restored immediately after hiding the flagged game.
Ranking Ban
Permanently banned from participating in the leaderboard, but still able to use site functions.
Account Termination
Account removal. The PSNID will be banned from future synchronization, rankings, and registration.

System Components

It has been tentatively decided to divide the anti-cheat system into three parts for execution. Users can appeal in any case.
  • Automated detection during synchronization: Checks whether the trophy acquisition time is logical according to preset rules.
  • Community player reports: Reported by community players. The management team will make a judgment based on evidence from both the reporter and the reported user, and then decide the outcome.
  • Manual processing by the management team: The management team will directly ban users. This generally applies to particularly obvious cases of cheating.

Automated Detection

In the development phase, please follow our announcements for the latest updates.
It will be executed automatically when users synchronize their trophies. The automated judgment rules will be made public, and anyone can create new rules, which will be voted on by the community.
For outdated rules that are no longer applicable due to version updates, a vote can be initiated to remove them.

Appeal

The appeal system is not yet complete. If you have any questions, you can contact the management team via email. ame@psray.net
