Trust Network

Citadel Cloud's trust data is built to be looked up and built upon — so the whole DayZ community gets safer, whether or not they run the desktop app. This page is the overview; integrators should also see the Trust API reference.

Citadel ID & trust scores

Every player Citadel sees is resolved to a canonical Citadel ID that ties together their SteamID, Discord, and BattlEye GUID across servers. On top of that, Citadel derives a trust score (0–100, with a confidence value) from signals it already collects — community-ban history, submission/overturn record, playtime, server diversity, and behavioral signals like headshot ratio and accuracy. The score is explainable: it ships the raw signals and human-readable reasons.

Public lookup

Anyone can look up a player's trust score — no account required:

GET https://api.citadels.cc/api/v1/trust/{identifier}

{identifier} can be a SteamID, a Citadel ID, or a Discord ID. The endpoint is rate-limited per IP and carries no submitter identities or private notes, so it's safe to integrate into a panel, bot, or anti-cheat tool. Responses can be cryptographically signed so consumers can verify they really came from Citadel — see the reference.

Cloud Discord bot

There's a cloud-side Discord bot any community can install — no desktop app needed. It's the network's front door:

  • /lookup <steamid|citadelid|discord> — trust score + recent activity.
  • /server-trust <server_id> — the trust profile of a server's player base.
  • /watch <steamid> — ping the channel the next time that player is seen.
  • Moderation alerts — community-ban activations, overturned appeals, and high-impact pending bans pushed into a channel you choose.

This is distinct from the desktop app's own Discord bot. The cloud bot is bound to citadels.cc and installable by anyone.

Auto-evidence on bans

When a customer submits a Cloud Ban, Citadel automatically freezes the forensic window for that player on that server — recent kills, chat, positions, and shot stats — into an immutable evidence bundle. Moderators review appeals with full context; appellants see a redacted version. See Cloud Bans.

Reviewer pool

Appeals and high-impact bans aren't adjudicated by one person. Citadel runs a reviewer pool: invited reviewers vote, weighted by a reputation they earn from how consistently their calls match the eventual outcome. A reviewer whose decisions get overturned loses weight; consistent reviewers' votes finalize faster. See the moderation queue in your admin area.

Federation & export

Citadel publishes a discovery document at /.well-known/citadel-trust.json and offers a partner export — a rate-limited, partner-keyed bulk feed of the ban pool — so anti-cheat tools and panels can mirror Citadel's trust data directly. See the Trust API reference.
