Is there any indicators for normal players that they are being spectated? Any popup or clue in the player menu?
Spectating signals

I mean in terms of spotting cheaters. Would a legitimate player know they are being spectated.
A few times now when I spectate someone I think is sus and they immediately ask me in chat "what's up chzburger" etc.

Not sure if this will help, but there's a bit in this guide that has a command that you can type into console that will let you spectate a potential cheater while also being invisible from spectator:

- With the Developer Console open go in this order to gather evidence of the suspected hacker.
- Status
- Gather the name and U:ID of the hacker - # 375 "ρнαηтσм 5.0" [U:1:60133372] 3:03:05 139 0 active
- Type sm_spec "#375" and press enter - This will bring you to the POV of the suspected hacker and ALSO make you invisible from spectator so you can record with ease. (I find it's easier to type the #number instead of the U:ID due to it being quicker to type than copy/paste it).
- You can also type in chat /spec <suspected hacker here> and it will also bring you their POV
Thanks, I know most of the process. My shadow play wasn't working in this case so i wasn't able to capture anything.

So if someone knows you are spectating them (especially with /spec) without a good reason then they are more likely to be cheating?
