Post Unbanned Cheaters' Accounts

over 10 years

When players who were banned for cheating are let back into either of the competition-running lobbies, they should undergo a probationary period during which they lose privacy rights for all accounts, be they linked alts or clean-slate mains. The mods can set up a thread with a list of all accounts held by recently unbanned cheaters and either (a) consistently monitor users who have made the list or (b) install a simple account approval process whereby failure to inform the mods of newly registered accounts constitutes a violation of the rules.

This might be worth a go for any game-related ban, not just cheating, but that would probably involve a lot more maintenance.

uh no they're unbanned they waited it out/didn't get caught evading long enough since cheating to be unbanned. they don't get unbanned because it's assumed they won't cheat again. lol


People that've cheated twice generally don't get unbanned. Just ftr. Rednose and petri are rare exceptions.


again, that's not true


It sorta is. For example, ling probably isn't going to get unbanned even if he could stop evading for 10 minutes because of the level of the atrocity which he performed.


what did he do thats so bad wtf

bear, you're missing out on some serious lore. petri has been unbanned since before arcbell got dethroned and hasn't broken a rule since


oh, i wasn't aware he was here. that's sketchy. i hope she's being monitored heavily.

petri never broke any visible rules until she was ousted for cheating so this means nothing

The premise of your argument is that humanity is flawed and can't change. A year is a hell of a long time to wait.


In the process of accusing everyone else of sensationalizing the issue, you are sensationalizing the issue.


Dumb and bad.


you're the only one here equating cheating to morality.

petri isnt gonna mess up any games tho'


she has ruined more games than a very large portion of cheaters combined. she also has been given like 12 chances and ruined all of them. i think if she comes back, she cannot have any alts that the mass of EM would not know about.

i too wish i could cheat on epicmafia, wait a year, then come back and cheat immediately again without people watching me.


Mods knowing all of their accounts isn't something I was discussing here; that /should/ be a must. Players knowing the accounts isn't necessary.


actually it is if you expect players to want to stay with this site. i've seen at least 5 people leave because petri would *** their games up.

Bear, they violated the TOS, then they got banned for a year. Your point?


The point is that they almost certainly ban-evaded during that year, are either planning to violate rules again or at least considering it, and are inflicting ignorance of their accounts on users who want to play straight games without having to worry about which alt is a cheater's.


'Almost certainly ban-evaded during that year'

k


A formidable counterargument


'They served their time' 'My point is that they probably didn't serve their time'


I have more than enough examples to back my point. You're not making a real argument.

Stop losing focus on the fact that this is a gaming website that you're playing because you either have too much time to kill, or you enjoy the mental challenge; it has no proper stakes. There's no money up for grabs.


cheaters ruin the site's purpose for the legitimate players: their fun. shut the *** up


If they're unbanned they're assumably not cheating. The premise of your argument is that humanity is flawed and can't change. A year is a hell of a long time to wait.

Peta says

They should, actually, because it's absurd that each time I join a game I have no idea whether a sketchy-looking alt on the roster is a cheater's. I should be able to join a game with at least some measure of confidence that I'm not playing with people who either are complete dirtbags or were complete dirtbags in the past.

Either way, whether or not connor cheated, kerry having cheated is a /known fact/. And she clearly doesn't deserve having a massive brand on all of her accounts saying 'cheater'.


You are so stupid. Do you know what "probationary period" means?


Nvm, misread this bit, my bad.
