I'm wondering how other admins actually confirm cheaters when people are getting reported. What is your process in doing this? I usually check reported players (suspects) their steam profile and if I see a VAC history or Game Ban Or Rust Admin ban I usually don't trust them but how do you actually catch them in the act? Any way to be 100% or even 99% certain or is it just a bit of guessing?

F7 -> Report. Thats the best way

- Have something to notify admins or in discord if a player tries to access a hidden stash which he doesn't own
- Don't react unless someone reported the player
- Make sure you aren't banning a legit player, just spectate him, do a little pvp with him if needed

I'm not sure how this is the best way?

Because only EAC has the required tools to detect them. Like who do you think is banning the cheaters in Rust? Yes, Admins ban them but EAC is the actual one who is banning them officially and permanently.
