I'm a little steamed about this actually. Earlier today I had a lesson w/incontrol and his main piece of advise to me was to better use my overlords. I drew a protoss on LT, and with inc's advise in mind I sent an overlord straight to the 6 o'clock.

On its way, it spotted a sneaky probe dropping a pylon below the cliff. Also thanks to inc, I had gone 13 pool 15 hatch instead of 14 hatch as I'm accustomed. My lings absolutely destroyed his proxy 2 gates.

Then he accuses me of hacking and says he's going to report me. I don't know how/if I get to state my case or if they see the replay but I really want to get my side in, because anybody watching this replay, not even the lowliest of rts players would not see that I saw his proxy and that I responded how any sane individual would.

tl;dr version: he proxied, I spotted it & destroyed it, and now he's reporting me for abuse because he thinks I'm hacking. What should I do?

Here's the rep:
http://rapidshare.com/files/385822585/arrian_v_guy.SC2Replay.html

EDIT: btw rapidshare is saying that it can only be downloaded ten times, so in case other people after that want to watch it i can reupload it

i doubt anything will happen
they'd watch the replay and realize it was some guy that was just an angry sore loser
i'm also assuming what you've said is what happened since i'm at a school computer lab and can't watch the rep atm

I remember when I played Warcraft 3 I was very found of using Shades (an invisible scout; kind of like an observer but you can't even see the blur) to scout so I could attack my opponent when he was most vulnerable. About 3/4 times my opponent would accuse me of cheating, but I never get banned. Most of the time, I think, my opponent was just angry and felt like lashing out.

The reality is, I honestly do not think Blizzard will ban you. Typically they ban people based on some kind of systematic detection of cheating devices, such as public maphacks. Examining replays case-by-case is simply too time-consuming and generates too much bias - I honestly doubt they'd do that except in extreme cases.

Just say "watch replay from my perspective t.t" and that's all you can do I guess. I really doubt blizz just bans everyone who is reported since there are dumb people out there.

The guy is a big baby. Just because he threatens to report you does not mean he will. He just wants redemption for the pain you caused him. I can already see that you are terrified, and thus his plan was a success.

Haha, nothing new. This happens all the time. Just the other day I ran into some guy who I completely crushed in a TvT. He went on crying about how I was map hacking and that I was mirroring everything he did (even though I'm Terran and have scan). Then he went onto threaten me by reporting me. I just laughed at him and typed "you have bad gg timing"

Nothing you can do. Just laugh it off, as kids these days can be complete morons.

Nothing will happen lol. Never listen to anyone who says anything like this, blizzards hack prevention methods aren't based on player reports at all from my experience and more based on detection anyway.

There is no need to worry at all. I've also been told that i've been 'reported' but nothing has happened. Is there even a reliable way to 'report' someone? I haven't taken the time to look.

Blizzard's support staff is possibly the best support staff out of any game. They will make a reasonable judgement so you won't be banned.

Has reporting actually done anything to anyone?

In fact has Blizzard taken notice of any posted evidence of maphacking or other abuse?

They're not rhetorical questions by the way.
No I'm never serious.

It happens that when I'm raging after a loss, I accuse the other player of hacking and sending the replay to blizzard etc., but obviously I'm just trolling ... sometimes they start to explain me in detail how they scouted what I was doing and that they never hack -.- makes me feel bad because they take it serious lol.
