I guess we're not allowed to talk about cheating or anti-cheat

    Hey, @R3ignFyr3 DICE is fully aware of sentiment and feedback that the community has on Anti-cheat, the team have some article highlighting that they are aware for Battlefield V.

     

    We do have a rule here that we will be closing cheating conversations on the forum.

    Some of the topics I just closed did link to an article about cheating, but those sites also linked to cheating sites; we can't have that on our forum. The majority of the anti-cheat or cheating conversations always go down a very toxic sentiment (we understand why) ends with a lot of rule-breaking discussions, meaning we need to babysit the topic all day and hand out bans/warnings for players on the forum. This is based on past experience allowing the conversations about it on the forum.

Anyway, this is probly my last post in this forum since this is my last major concern and I'm not allowed to talk about it.  I would have pre-ordered if I had some reasonable assurance that more than token steps were being taken to deter cheating and punish those who are caught.  But, cheaters buy games too 😛
It's a valid concern and enough to deter me from pre-order.  I have decided to take a "wait and see" approach since actions speak louder than words and there are no words except, "we don't want to talk about it" (maybe they will release a statement before launch, but I doubt it).  Have fun on the Battlefield 🙂

    @EA_Atic thank you for that response (and not banning me for bringing it up again) .. I look forward to more information about this and seeing what measures they will take to it manage it.  Saying "we are aware of the concern and working on it" is way better than not talking about it.  I understand that talking about anti-cheat can lead to toxicity and unwanted discussion of specific cheats and where to find them and I respect that we don't want that here.  I am done talking about it.

    @EA_Atic Yeah I think my post was a bit too sharp. Didn't mean to sound like you're not doing anything.

    Regardless, I think it should be possible to have a thread (maybe one pinned thread) regarding anti cheat. And yeah, maybe that one thread you need to supervise and remove urls. But with a banner on the OP that states it's forbidden to post external (hacking) sites I think you can already prevent quite some unwanted posts.
