There are so many strategies you could put in place.
For example, you could just have a little option on the main menu entitled, "Player Reports". This function will take you to the latest reports. You would need to have at least 10,000 points and [x] amount of good karma or whatever to use be able to give your verdict for a report. The names on the reports would be completely anonymous to prevent players from being biased, and each report would need the verdict of 7 different players before being processed.
In return, players are given a unique currency which is used to unlock items at a restricted area of the in-game shop. This not only encourages players to handle reports, but it also encourages a less toxic community, as they'd like to get the karma necessary to handle the reports.
Hello. I am epicmafia user bearguru. I have something I would like to put out there.
The current moderation team is not doing their job and the admin, Jasprar, is not assisting the moderators to do more reports. Additionally, the site seems to be spiraling downhill. This is not a plea to become a moderator, it is asking you to check in on the site and see what you think.
Lucid doesn't give a [redacted] about the money. You guys should just go code your own site.

lucid treats this website like a son who doesn't answer his calls and doesn't want to pay child support on

Besides, back in the glory days of RTS gaming, Warcraft III and Starcraft Brood War had throngs of maphackers, yet legitimate players were more than happy to compete whilst being made aware of this.
Just because a few people play illegitimately, it doesn't mean that it completely ruins a game on a competitive level.
Bit by bit, the cheaters get filtered out through tribunal punishment.
the difference is you can recognise a hacker through their actions
My moderators would be paid, so I don't think they'd do a bad job.
u guys realize if people are cheating together, on this website, a random game generator won't matter because they'll be talking off the site so they can just re-queue until they get into the game with their friends?
I guess we'd have to come up with some innovative new system to keep people from cheating, then.
Like moderators.
You seem to think that most cheaters cheat throughout the whole run and actually explicitly ask for people to throw
This is not the case, friendbias affects every single game and cannot be stopped unless you wanna kill the site nor can you detect someone who cheated 1-5 games in a single run, if they actually do it properly.

Kylo, honestly, I presented the idea to Lucid and he was like nah. You're totally right though. EpicMafia could have been a MASSIVE earner with the correct appraisal of execution. Furthermore, promotion strategies are so ridiculously simple as it is so easy to communicate with established streamers, who boast audiences of 30,000 viewers at a time.
Yeah, you get it. People acting like marketing one of the most popular games ever would be hard are stupid as heck.
damn, those moderators gonna do a perfect job, definitely can't be coaxed either. u right sonseray

About to post BearGuru's pastebin, keep your eyes peeled.
Hey Zayn I also just want to congratulate you on the need based grant you received. One of my best friends from high school was offered a full ride need based grant to college, too. He got addicted to meth and is in prison now. Turns out he wasn't all that smart.

It would actually be so stupidly easy to make a more qualitative and profitable website than this based entirely on competitive mafia if I could code, but I can't.
@roadman and bit my bit more innocent players are punished for not cheating...
deleted 1mon 8d Unlawfully banned on 8/21/2013. I legitimately trophy run and get banned for 3 "supposedly" suspicious games based completely around conjecture and bias. Congratulations on banning someone innocent Sachy, you're a truly upstanding admin.
