Default Re: Official statement of cheating on PBW.

Its a shame that certain players must cheat in order to have fun. The idea of playing games against others is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If one must resort to cheating in order to prove he's the best, then that person should get out of gaming, for he's proven he's far from it. If you want to play for blood instead of just to have fun, then those are the type of games you need to find and not ruin the others for everyone else. Cheating doesn't solve or make one better then anyone else, it belittles the person and just shows that person can't hack an honest game win or lose and that he doesn't belong. I don't like cheats, but you must remember, there are honest mistakes, and you must determine whether it was an honest mistake or a knowing, purposely cheat in the game. I agree with Geo, if you suspect of cheating going on, contact the admin, let them look into and make the determination one way or the other, confrontation hurts everyone especially if it turns out it was not a cheat but an honest or misinterrupted action. This saves hurt feelings and lessons antimosity among the gamers. If found cheating, then the admin should take whatever action they seem fit up to and including posting the name of the cheater here in the forum IMHO.

Remember one thing, Don't over-react, check it out first before you open mouth and insert foot. Be sure of accusations, just suspicion without proof is not good enough to accuse and ruin someone's reputation, without hard proof it is not a good idea as it could cause untold repercussions that may not be warranted...

Leave it up to the Admin.... IMHO
