- monitoring at a game server a plurality of game plays of a plurality of players playing a video game in a gaming session over a period of time;
- extracting features from the plurality of game plays related to a plurality of activities associated with the plurality of game plays, the plurality of activities being controlled by the plurality of players;
- running the features through an artificial intelligence (AI) learning model configured to classify the plurality of activities;
- classifying an activity as abusive behavior;
- receiving initiation of a flag from a flagging player indicating possible undesirable activity in the gaming session;
- determining a first player that is controlling the possible undesirable activity;
- generating a video recording of the possible undesirable activity;
- generating a record of the possible undesirable activity;
- wherein the possible undesirable activity corresponds with the activity that is classified as the abusive behavior,
- wherein the period of time is associated with a point in time when the flag was initiated,
- presenting the video recording to a group of players;
