Once Human Ban Roundup: 129 Metas Punished, 653 Cheat Compensation Grants Issued

The Once Human enforcement team marched into the first week of March 2026 with one clear objective: keep Nalcott's fair-play ecosystem from turning into a cheater's amusement park. From February 27 to March 5, 2026, a total of 129 players were banned. Within that wave, 49 players were publicly penalized for using cheats, and 14 players were punished for maliciously affecting other players. Because the AI model is still being updated, backend monitoring data shows there is still a slight chance of false bans being triggered. Anyone with questions or concerns about a penalty can submit an appeal through the in-game appeal screen, and the team offers sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

The cheat report pile has been overflowing. According to the development team, Metas continued reporting a greatest-hits collection of shady behavior. The most frequently reported cheating tricks included wallhacks, aimbots, flying, teleporting, clipping through walls, and abnormal damage. The team verified these reports and took action with zero nostalgia for the offenders.

• 🧱 Wallhacks

• 🎯 Aimbots

• 🛸 Flying

• ⚡ Teleporting

• 🚪 Clipping through walls

• 💥 Abnormal damage

RaidZone remains a survival competition experience that emphasizes fairness. Any individual or team actions that disrupt the game's fair environment are strictly prohibited. Moving forward, the team will enhance real-time data monitoring and retrospective enforcement against groups engaging in malicious behaviors such as frequent hack use, carrying cheaters, or verbal harassment. Once suspicious malicious activities or benefits gained through cheating are detected, periodic retrospective penalties will follow. The list of penalized accounts will be published in the corresponding cycle's Fair Play Announcement.

The full list of players recently penalized for severe violations has been reviewed and confirmed.

Behind the ban wave, there is also a softer side: compensation. Since the launch of the anti-cheat damage compensation mechanism, 653 compensation grants have been issued to 236 players during this period. The system aims to make up for losses suffered in fair competitive play because of cheaters. Each grant is essentially a ledger entry proving the team's zero-tolerance policy toward hacks and a serious commitment to protecting affected players.

At present, the compensation scope cannot cover all possible situations. Players who were negatively affected by cheating players but did not receive compensation are not being ignored. Instead, it reflects the current limitations of detection and coverage mechanisms. Those who wish to apply should submit feedback through official customer support channels and include detailed information such as match details, date and time, and the specific losses incurred. Every piece of feedback helps optimize the compensation algorithms and expand the scope of protection.

Meanwhile, the language enforcement desk was just as busy. In the same period, 102 players received bans for language violations. The breakdown reads like a very firm timeout chart:

Due to space limitations, the full list of players banned for speech violations was not published. The team has been paying close attention to feedback regarding the chat restriction system and has launched a focused optimization effort. Improvements include upgraded smart filtering to reduce false positives and better manual review processes for more accurate judgment. Nalcott is brought to life by player interactions. Every sincere exchange adds warmth to the game, so the team hopes everyone uses kind words to build meaningful memories and protect the beauty of the world together.

The anti-cheat system is also getting better at playing detective. Newly discovered cheat characteristics will be used for retroactive investigations. After an account is banned, it will be checked for associated alt accounts, and those will be banned as well. That means the old trick of hopping to a backup account is about as useful as a cardboard shield against abnormal damage.

Automated scripts, game exploits, or bugs used to gain unfair advantages will result in penalties once confirmed. Going forward, any verified malicious behavior that disrupts gameplay will result in immediate bans. Metas are encouraged to report violations through the in-game reporting system or official customer service. The team thanks the community for its understanding and support in maintaining a fair gaming ecosystem and rejecting malicious actions.
