Auto screenshot feature
Okay, my suggestion probably will help the Market Squad a lot on solving scam reports and other things but can also help all other staffs.
The market squad hate when someone open a duel scam reports without any evidences. So, i'm suggesting to add an auto screenshot feature to the toribash.
How it could work:

*You can activate the auto screenshot through the settings, just like replay autosave;
*When duel mod is on, the auto screenshot automatically turns on and takes screenshots every match played;
*If you duel items or USD, you can always leave it on for your safety;
*All the screenshots goes to "screenshots" folder.

If you get scammed, you'll have all the necessary evidence to solve your case.

Thanks for reading. Leave your suggestions

Not a bad idea, maybe 1 screenshot every minute? I'll add your post to the original post. Thanks for your suggestion.

Maybe it's an idea to make the screenshots expire? You might build up a giant stack of screens that burn up a lot of storage space if they won't delete themselves.

I'm not sure what would be an ideal expiration date. For duel scams, it wouldn't have to be a really long time, but for other scams it might take a bit longer until you realise you're tricked.
This would be a great feature for just the game in general. Maybe its just that something funny happens and you wanna post it but you forgot to screenshot it. BOOM. Its there.

Maybe you could set the time it deletes yourself. Say if you have a bigger HDD you could have it at a few days and if you have a smaller one you can put it at like 12/24 hours and such. It'd be funner imo. And if you have a screenshot you want to keep you can move it over to another file in your computer, so when it purges the screenshots, it doesnt purge the ones you need.

This feature also would help on reporting:

*In-game Slurs
*In-game Porn Links
*Staff impersonation
*Multi-clienting on Official servers
*Rank farming
*Duel glitching
*Duel trapping
*Decapprize rigging
*Decapprize abuse
*Power abuse
*Spamming
*Memes

AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS
As i said, it will help the staff in general, not only the msquad.

Not supported.
Let me just note that you can easily do that with F12 if you play Toribash on Steam, and there are others easily obtainable software that can assist you with recording/screenshotting like Razer Cortex.
Where I'm getting is: screenshotting couldn't be easier than it is now and people who forget to do that clearly don't care enough to collect evidence for their case. Devs are not responsible for stupidity of people.
I am not saying that this feature would be useless, but Toribash surely has many more improvements that has to be implemented and CAN'T be overcome with 3rd party software. Things like that are just waste of devs time as they already have very limited time to improve the game from what I've heard.

EDIT: Let me also note that such feature would have all sorts of problems and would be a pain in the ass to implement. OS might easily recognize such feature as spam/threat spreading software and block it from any usage. Overcoming such things would take A LOT of developers' time that could be used to further improve the game.

Just going to point out, through my experience hosting events, this could have saved me from the UPMOST grief I accumulated v-v. Missing a screen shot can ruin a lot of things at times. For example, if a major crash happens and you forgot to take a screen shot that match, you could pretty much lose everything in some cases. At least that's what it felt like. I really want this ability! Ingenious! Not to mention, this would make it easier to focus on screenshotting other things such as rule violations.

@Smaguris:
Multitasking is statistically impossible for most people. If you're dealing with 5 things at that point and time, screenshots could easily be missed which can easily cause problems for many people. This in no way shape or form makes you "stupider". From my experience as an ES, I can say that confidently. \o/

I'm surprised no ES members put replies up on this already? Maybe I really just suck with screens, who knows.
