Black Ops 6 and Warzone Players Fed Up With Cheaters Want This Change
Summary
Spam reporting in Black Ops 6 and Warzone can lead to penalties for the reporter. Only the first report from a specific player is considered, so spam reporting is ineffective. Accounts spam reporting may face consequences, with over 8,000 already banned.
Call of Duty has confirmed that spam reporting other players may result in account penalties for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone gamers. The series has had issues with cheaters, but spam reporting in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone is against the rules.
Although Ricochet anti-cheat mitigates some of the cheating in Call of Duty, some hacks remain a problem. The problem notably exploded with the release of Warzone, with weapon attachments traditionally based on a gamer's Multiplayer progression to encourage cross-pollination. Activision first implemented the Ricochet anti-cheat in Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone, and it has been optimized since then in subsequent releases. While it's present in every Call of Duty game since its implementation, players continue to spot cheaters in Black Ops 6. With many gamers spam reporting accounts that they suspect are cheating, the developers are acting against malicious reporting.

The Call of Duty Updates Twitter account recently shared a post regarding spam reporting in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. According to the post, a player repeatedly reporting another, presumably within a specific time frame, won't result in quicker or stronger penalties for the player getting reported. The system works in a way that only considers the first report and "throttles" any further ones. As spam reporting doesn't affect Call of Duty cheaters more than a single report, the gamer filing may face the unintended consequence of harming their own account. Over 8,000 accounts have already been banned for malicious reporting, which suggests that the issue is widespread.
Call of Duty Will Take Action on Accounts That Spam Report
While Ricochet anti-cheat is regularly updated to combat the latest hacks affecting Black Ops 6, players continue to spot others using aimbot and other cheats. As the Call of Duty Updates post confirms that accounts have been banned for malicious reporting, gamers are discouraged from filing multiple reports on one player. Banning spam reports has been seen as overstepping by some gamers, but after receiving spam reports from over 8,000 gamers, this measure may be an effort to prevent Ricochet from being overwhelmed. One gamer has suggested denying spam reports with a pop-up message that tells a player they've already reported the account.

With Ricochet continuing to improve with each patch, it may be a matter of time before cheating is eliminated from the Call of Duty series. As Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continue to receive updates, Activision may find a workaround to the spam reporting issue.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
