I also have no problem if people want to test multiplayer cheats in your mind. I just don't want them doing it on PBW.
What if they were to arrange it specifically with you beforehand ... ? 8)

If you have a cheat you want to test, and you need someone to play with you (I can't imagine why, because you can play all sides of a simultaneous game on one PC and test this stuff, but for the sake of argument) then do it via PBEM. There is no difference as far as Se4 is concerned between PBW and PBEM.

Some of the trick might be, "lets see if you can find the right tell-tale signs, to indicate HOW the other player is cheating" ... producing a list of "warning signs" that might indicate possible cheating by an opponent Online.

Also, dare I say it, either you or someone else (approved BY you, ofc) should be semi-regularly "testing" PBW's security; hacking into the server itself is merely another potential form of cheating, after all.
