Overview
Cheat Monitor watches what the server already knows. It records every hit with distance, body part, weapon and time between shots, and scores each player against the server's own population rather than a fixed threshold. A player whose headshot rate at long range sits far outside everyone else's gets a score and a flag, not a ban. The point is to give staff evidence to review rather than an automatic verdict.
Movement checks look for patterns that only make sense with wall hacks: turning toward players through terrain before they are visible, pre-aiming doors with nobody in line of sight, and tracking through walls during fights. Combat log review reconstructs a fight from both sides with hit positions, so a staff member can compare what each player could see. Alt account links use shared IP history, join timing and team overlap to suggest connections for review.
Alerts post to a Discord webhook with the player, the score, the checks that fired and a link to the review board entry. The review board is a self-hosted web page that reads the plugin's data files and lists flagged players, their scores over time, the evidence per flag and a place for staff to record a decision. Nothing is sent to us; the board runs on your own host next to the server.
Delivered as a C# plugin, a JSON config and the review board as a small Node.js app. While you are subscribed, the checks are revised as cheat behaviour changes, the plugin is rebuilt after each forced wipe and after Oxide, uMod or Carbon updates, and the thresholds document is updated with what the statistics mean.

Features
- Scored, not auto-banned
- Scores are relative to your own player base, so a good player on a low-pop server is not flagged for being good.
- Both sides of a fight
- Combat log review lines up hits from each player with positions, which shows what could be seen and what could not.
- Evidence in one place
- The review board keeps every flag, score history and staff decision per player, so a ban appeal has a record to read.
