Is special task force exists?

It wasn't resurrected, but I found there is another one that functions similarly to it. However, people posted that it brings up a virus prompt, so I assumed it was just a front to just get players' information. Apparently, it does work. Reading about on it, it still functions exactly like the other - needs to be within a certain distance of the A rank and within the same map as the S rank (you can spot a lot of the S ranks from quite a huge distance away) and anyone with the client also gets these notifications. So, that stinks.

Unless they state, or otherwise hint, they are using a third party application within the game, there's no way to report players and have disciplinary action taken against them.

The program you're all talking about basically works like a Hunt LS:

When one person with it gets in range of a Hunt, it sends a message to everyone saying what and where. The only difference I've seen is that the detection range is bigger than render distance, which is ultimately not that big of a deal.

A Hunt tracker program isn't the problem. The problem is jerk players. Just like parsers and everything else.

I'm aware.

Well, that's starting to become an opinion on the use of third party programs and the willful cherry-picking of rules to be followed and rules to be ignored. We all know third party programs are against the ToS, so by default, as well as parsers, they are against the rules. That's a whole other discussion on its own. Vicariously, there's nothing against the rules about people coming over and pulling an open world monster as soon as they see it, but people want to continue to report it like it is an infraction of the ToS. That's not even getting into perspectives of "do I value another person's time over my own" and other nit-picking opinions that conflict with social unwritten rules.
