Cheating Investigation Unit

over 10 years

We are looking for a group of community members to be a part of a full-time Cheating Investigation Unit (CIU). We feel that this will streamline cheating investigations, make less work for mods and community members who dedicate their time to it, as well as get more people involved in the community. Our hope is to catch more cheaters and deter people from cheating, as we will be able to use this team as a more vigilant watch.

This will be a team supervised by the mod team. You will be invited to a skype chat where round investigations will be discussed. This will be overseen by myself as well as any mods interested in assisting in handling cheating. We will be your go to people for any information or guidance you may need during the investigative process.

This would largely mean looking through games played and reading games of players near the top of the scoreboard, checking for any instances of rolesharing, meta abuse, multi-accounting or any form of cheating / sketchy play. This would also include making piratepads/pastebins or any sort of documents summarizing the games in question and what the alleged cheater is being accused of. With a sizable team of cheating investigators split between the two lobbies, we can effectively quash cheating more efficiently and prevent things from slipping through the cracks, as well as preventing the round from being paused needlessly.

This position would commit you to various levels of work, depending on demand and whether or not there is cheating present. We are looking for people with a strong interest in catching cheaters, experience in creating pastebins, and an in-depth knowledge of past cheaters and their tells.

If you are interested in being a part of the Cheating Investigation Unit, please copy the following application, fill it out with your info and PM it to me. I'll be accepting applications on a rolling basis and adding people to the team on an as needed basis.

Here is the application questionnaire: PMs not in this format will be ignored.

Not that I'm putting this down or anything, but this looks like it might be more trouble than it'd be worth, given the extreme amount of maintenance that needs to be performed on the group.


I think "extreme" is a bit extreme here.

This isn't really different than me getting a couple of people together to look through a round and decide if there's anything sketchy or not.


Still looking through 30+ games for cheating is inevitable, and the mods would have to do it anyway, and then you regularly need to purge inactive investigators, make sure NDAs are signed and filed, train new investigators when you hire them, and the list goes on and on and on.

There's a lot to it.

So you admitted to some people getting bored of it quickly. Does this mean that you'll flush out inactive investigators and hire new ones? I have a feeling that this flushing will happen often.

When Riot published the bin on rednose/shamzy/devante, I think the general consensus was "Where were the mods on this?"


What's more pathetic, the way he wrote it to spite the team at the time, or the way you took it to heart? This is Riot you're talking about.

Honestly because it looks bad when you have a team of volunteer mods and someone outside the team does a major cheating investigation.




That doesn't look bad at all. It's how things were normally done. Creating a team to save face is silly. Someone first has to put in a cheating report right? since most mods don't run. how is that any different than someone creating a pastebin and saying, "I think this dude is cheating", regardless if its worded in a way to spite the mod team.

People only care about cheating now. When it involves their runs.
