Re: Why not a open cheaters list?

@demolidorckp

We used to have a rolling list of cheaters in PB and FF. Then I think legal issues ensued.

Thats my guess anyway.

    My guess is that

    1. Some people may be falsely accused of cheating. If those land on a public shamelist it might not be so good.

    2. More important and probably the real reason: It might hurt the cheater's feelings if they get pubicly exposed, which might harm the quality of their gaming experience. 😳 That, and legal issues probably, as @sk1lld said.

    @SharpGoblin I think it’s most likely just easier for a company to avoid any controversy. I doubt it has anything to do with it being legal or not.

    In other games, getting put onto a suspected cheater list while being legitimate was a badge of honor lol. I don’t think it would hurt anyone’s reputation either. Half these COD streamers get caught cheating, and it doesn’t seem to really affect them. Deny it, apologize, come back later, hell, do it again.

    What’s the point of the list is the real question. How would it stop, or dissuade people from cheating exactly? I’m all for shaming caught cheaters, but I’m more interested in stopping them.
  • Today I played with [Removed], he killed 5 guys jumping between containers with a .50 revolver. On another map, he passed 60 in 2 ou 3. Kaleidoscope from inside the building he didn't lose any shot, but we can not put him on a list because the EA is afraid that people like him stop buying games.

    Should be above the text box @FinalGoblin9840. I've highlighted it in the screenshot below, but you might have got it sorted already.
