    Suggestion:
    I propose the addition of a (sticky?) thread to the Help&Support forum to collect anticheat reports. The anticheat kick message currently says "If you believe you were kicked wrongly report this via ecocitycraft.com/help with code: (XXX)". This could be changed to redirect to the thread instead.

    Also, the main post could contain a specific format. (See "Any Other Information".)

    Reason:

    Basically, the H&S forum spreads data regarding anticheat kicks across multiple threads. We have reached 8 threads in two months, and I expect more threads in the next few months.
    Update: 14 in 3.5 months.

    The minimum amount of characters for a search query is 4, so you can't even directly search for "017" or any other code. Combining everything into a single thread would make it easier to find specific reports via Ctrl-F.
    Bonus suggestion: Change the kick codes from [008, 013, ...] to [0008, 0013, ...] because those can be found via a search query.

    A format would be useful because it explains how to properly report it. As an example, the main post of https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/167843 itself doesn't tell anything useful about the problem. Adding the question "What were you doing when you were kicked?" makes it clear that this information is needed.

    Any Other Information:
    Code:
    [B]Anticheat code:[/B]
    
    [B]What were you doing when you were kicked?[/B]
    
    [B]How many times have you been kicked?[/B]
    
    I guess there are better formats, but this is what my sleep-deprived brain came up with.

    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?:
    xenForo and the anticheat config.

    I don't see why we couldn't just have it say what you were actually kicked for.
