    Hello MCCentral Staff,

    I hope you're doing well. I’m writing to raise a concern about a past experience I had on the server around mid-2020, specifically while playing UHC (Ultra Hardcore). I didn’t report it at the time because I wasn’t sure how to, but the incident raised some lasting concerns about staff procedures, and I feel it’s important to bring it to your attention now.

    During that game, I was frozen in-game by a moderator under suspicion of using X-ray. I was then asked to join a Discord call, which I did. In that call, the moderator requested that I download a third-party program designed to display my entire PC’s recent activity and file history. I was told that if I didn’t comply, I would be permanently banned from the server.

    Wanting to avoid punishment, I reluctantly complied and screenshared my system using the requested software. After a review, the moderator said no suspicious activity was found, told me I could remove the program, and unfroze me.

    While I appreciate that the case was resolved without punishment, the investigation process itself felt intrusive—especially in hindsight. I understand that screenshares and client inspections are part of the anti-cheat system on MCCentral, but from reading the server's rules and guidelines now, I believe that being required to download software that scanned my entire PC history (beyond Minecraft-related content) may have crossed a line.

    I'm not seeking to dispute any punishments or actions taken—only to raise awareness about what happened and ask if this kind of process aligns with MCCentral’s current standards for staff conduct. I no longer have access to the PC involved, but I still feel this was important to bring forward in the interest of fair and respectful investigations moving forward.

    Thank you for your time and attention to this message. Please let me know if more details are needed.
