Question on bans...

OK, I see on Hemp Tycoon, that all these people are bragging about cheating.  Some just mention it, and others are proud... I've encountered one woman who apoligized profusely, and promised never to do it again.

 

And of course there are others who flat out say that "No way can you be banned!"  And chide me when I try to tell them that it is indeed possible.

 

My question is... Can you be banned for cheating?  I personally find it repulsive, but there you go...  :smileymad:

A person can be banned, yes, but will it happen? Probably not.

 

In the past, the bans were limited to those that would otherwise have made the High Scores bump. That stopped about..... a year ago? I think most of the bans handed out lately were for playing the ponified version of Robot Unicorn Attack.

 

I've hoped for a little "Spring cleaning" on the high scores boards in the past, but it just isn't going to happen. (I want my top 5 in Meowcenaries :smileysad:)

 

As for Hemp Tycoon, that's a different situation. You wouldn't be 100% sure if it was cheating because of the way said cheating occurs, even if you're the admin.

 

That's my jaded opinion. :smileyvery-happy:

Well... that **beast**.  Especially when you run into THIS guy, and others like him.  He pisses me off.  Also click the <View 20 more> for more of his **beast**e.  

 

I guess I'll quit making an ass of myself then.   :manmad:

 

Would you know if these forums are moderated?  I've noticed making a statement, then I go back and it's gone.  (BTW, these are normal statements, and nothing inflammatory.)

I don't have Facebook, so I know nothing of the comments. It could not be as bad as the Disqus comment moderating. Seemed totally arbitrary.

Just be "whatever, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the game" but otherwise shrug it off.

Again, just being jaded here. :smileywink:

Sure. But then you get users like Cuto who has 1,719,492,419  made it to page 1 of the high scores in 2 weeks! Blind Freddy can see that he cheated.

 

I have no  hesitation in naming and shaming, and I have sent Ceej a msg a week ago, but nothing has been done. If this is what (doesn't) happens I feel we are wasting our time
