An idea
My idea is that we do a proving grounds event for Luther Rael. I’ve been trying to spend conquest credits on him, but haven’t seen him in a while. Update: Should we start a joke thread instead?
I don’t like the idea of user created cheat discussions threads, primarily because naming and shaming is against the Forum TOS that we all accepted when creating an account.
Even so, there have been dozens of threads like this before and lax moderation has sometimes seen those threads survive for several days before they are anonymised or deleted - so the idea that these threads would force CG to notice anything is kinda debunked already.
The main reason I don’t like the idea of these threads, though, is that there have been a large number of false accusations, often made by people who have limited understanding of how the game works (both in terms of battles being client side, so nobody can cheat on defence and just general understanding of kits and synergy).
We know the devs do ban cheaters, because there have been plenty of “please give me my account back, I’ve learned from my mistakes” threads. Could they be more proactive? Definitely. Could they be more transparent? Probably. Will forumers grabbing their torch and pitchforks help? Almost certainly not.
DarjeloSalas I agree. That’s why I mentioned it might be a bad idea, mostly for the naming part since, like you said, the forum has the rule against it. Actually I’m going to cut that part out of the discussion thread.
