I thought they took screenshots, i say this because if they recorded all the chat from all the worlds, and video, it would take a lot of space.
First, taking screenshot would take more space than text, why?
Text can be easily compressed from 10mb to 100kb. Try making 10mb file with only text inside(no pictures and other shit) and then gzip it, or just zip it.
Try that again but only with pictures. Notice the difference? Right.
You say they make videos, no they don't. They just log actions which occured (like moved from x,y to x1,y1, or clicked mouse at x2,y2) at certain time.. then just have a client like runescape which replays what happened. And those actions are logged like text which can be compressed very easy and verry efficient!
Similar method uses warcraft or counter strike to save replays, since they already got the engine.
That was a little bit off topic, now on topic, yes they send snapshot of 60 seconds what YOU did, and what happenend around you. Thus if you were autoing, there is chance to get banned, because it would be obvious :-) But since you sent the report, I doubt they would examine you instead the person you reported.
Since you wanted to report for bad language, we could pass unnoticed because they should be looking at the text, and not the actions.
We could try and pray that we get our autoers pmod status!
