Re: Do something about these cheaters.

@BelMoDzThink including the link to the video is considered "shaming", but one of the comments legit just says "This <player> must have an insane gaming chair to play like that" and I can't stop laughing.

Its really sad that there's cheaters, even from season 0 that are still playing, AND they usually have an heirloom.

Also Apex doesn't own the anti cheat. Epic Games does. Why would Fortnite's owner let Apex have less cheaters? LOL

    I'm a day one player and I agree that season 0 cheaters still playing. I was thinking about "What If Apex Legend uses Battleye".

  • @BelMoDz I hate cheaters and if everything you say is true then this is outrageous. Cheaters should be put to prison or pay literally fines in real money $$ - and this is not a joke - I already have some ideas how to implement it.

    @Midnight9746 If the guy is really cheating then there shouldn't be any shaming censorship. Everyone should know what he is doing and people should spit in his face when seeing him on the streets 🙈

    @EA_Barry can you tell us why the video and cheater name was censored?

    @NolanGraysonnn The video and name was censored because it was in violation of the fourm's TOS, primarily the "no shaming part".

    I'm unsure of the exact reason behind this rule, other than someone could accuse another player, but it be false accusations, in which could cause an issue further down the road should the user who's mentioned brings up the issue with EA/Respawn.

    Again, don't know the specifics. This is sort of like a windows update. Me: "So, what does this update do?", My computer: "I dunno". I've only mentioned "this might count as shaming", because that was something I was told not to do when reporting a toxic player, during my first few months of Apex.
  • @Midnight9746 Got it.
    Also I agree with the rule of not shaming people in the forums for being toxic. I know there are some people who struggle a lot in real life and just because it's too hard for them they seem toxic while they actually need help, but nevertheless I can't see this kind of excuse for cheaters. I feel like exposing a cheater is unwritten rule, justice and karma - something greater than some ambiguous forum rules 😎

    @NolanGraysonnn I don't understand why it's something they enforce, just how they won't tell you if someone got banned or not.

    Meanwhile other games would just broadcast to the players in the match: "<player> was banned for cheating".
