The mission

“A public, accountable ledger of players the community doesn't trust.

CSWatch is a community-driven platform for tracking and identifying suspicious Counter-Strike 2 players. We combine AI-based behavioral analysis with human Overwatch-style demo reviews to build the most transparent reputation index in CS2.

Every convicted cheater on this platform has been flagged by AI signals — account age, ban history, playtime anomalies — and confirmed by community reviewers watching their demos. The result is a transparent, public record with no hidden verdicts and no secret methodology.

THREE WAYS
WE BUILD THE CASE

Pillar 01

Reputation Scoring

A 0–100 trust number aggregating ban record, account legitimacy, community reports, and behavioral signals. Every score is derived from evidence — nothing is guessed.

Ban historyAccount ageTrust index
Pillar 02

AI Auto-Flag Detection

Every public Steam profile we encounter gets scanned for smurf patterns, banned friend networks, and skill-vs-playtime anomalies. No manual trigger required.

Pillar 03

Community Overwatch

Trusted reviewers watch demos of reported players and cast verdicts. Convictions require 3+ guilty votes at 66%+ consensus — a threshold designed to protect the innocent.

HOW IT
WORKS

Step 01

Report or flag

Any user can submit a report against a player, attaching a match demo as evidence. The AI also auto-flags suspicious profiles it encounters during lookups.

Step 02

Review

Trusted community Overwatchers watch the evidence — demo player or rendered video — and cast a verdict: guilty, not guilty, or insufficient evidence.

Step 03

Conviction

When 3+ reviews reach 66%+ guilty consensus, the player is publicly convicted and flagged on their profile. The threshold is non-negotiable.

Step 04

Track over time

The reputation score updates as new data arrives — VAC bans, additional reports, or Leetify stats all feed the algorithm. No conviction is a one-time snapshot.
