One of many possibilities that Blizzard doesnt ban the hacker immediately is to further investigate what he is doing so they can patch the bug. Banning doesnt solve the problem permanently, but finding the bug and patching it do.
I hope it's this and not just lazy/no easy way to deal with it.

Many people don't give the shit about points and rank especially when opponents will cheat to obtain them.
Blizzard please implement a "casual league" mode where wins and loss do not go on your profile but you are still matched against players of similar skill. I will definitely play against casual players over rank whores where hacks are rampant. Same reason why I gave up warcraft 3 ladder and only played against friends. This is a great idea and isn't hard to implement. Heck, I'd even be happy if they just changed custom games to where you could request players of a certain skill level instead of it being randomz. but then how would you determine "players of a certain skill level" if there are no ranks? While points and such can be annoying they are the only way to reflect a player you have never met before skill level. While it may not always be accurate it's better than nothing. Without the points/ranks the only way to know how good someone is by either knowing who they are or having played them before. Ranking/Ladder is important imo
You could have a "blind" rank in the casual ladder, which doesnt show but still counts. Other then that, I really like Juw's idea. You could simply have them both where you get to choose yourself which ladder you'd like to play, at any time. One ladder with open ranking, and one with invisable.

They can also use your stats from the current league. Bnet has a great match making system so there shouldn't be any issues finding similar skilled players for friendly matches.
Not only will we not meet map hackers / disc hackers trying to cheat their way to top, players can use these games to experiment with new strategies without penalty.

Ye this stabguy is hacking hard poor DeMusliM

That's a good idea, a good way to practice or getting warmed up before playing ranked games, I would like this to be implemented also !

i was worried this might happen. not just the hacks but blizzard and activision being lax on critical issues that needs immediate response. it might be that they have diverted alot of the staff to other projects (Diablo 3, SC2 expansions) and left only a few to monitor and address SC2 problems.
lets face it, activision has a very dodgy record when it comes to maintenance of thier online multiplayer games.

i bet also blizzard makes money out of the hacking.
once in a while ban 23456326 people for hacking, and i expect quite a lot of them will buy the game again.
then hack again (i'm sure people become addicted to it).
banned -> buy, etc.
and there is pleople with lots of money and don't care being banned.
the sad thing is they ruin the game for the rest of us.

So first the maphack now the dischack, what else ? Blizzard should really act quickly or people will already stop playing.

As far as I can tell..there are only 2 people that do this. So with close to 500,000 people playing, the chances of seeing this guy are .0025%. Seems like a lot of whining over something so unlikely to happen, and as he will probably be favored you'd lose maybe 7 points.
They need to be banned, but if Blizzard's SCII staff has more important things to do (like chat rooms and LAN :D) I'm willing to lose to a hacker once every 250,000 games.

Only two players reported. The actual number is likely to be quite a bit higher given that the utilities in question aren't all that difficult to find.

Pretty sure I ran into my first dropper today. He got stomped, hid pylons all over and when I went to kill the last on an island, I get 'oh well, guess it's gg' and bam, screen freeze.
This is the standard way you get dropped, correct??

Usually Blizzard waits a while to find a crap load of hackers and bans them all in a day. i remembered once they banned 50k people?

Well...atleast someone found a fix for the terrible imba towards zerg. This is exactly what we needed the auto-win make creep tumor button!

I suppose this is the general sentiment amongst players across all Blizzard games:

I'm sorry, but it's hard for me not to be cynical after what was happening in War3 during Jan/Feb and to some (lesser) extent is still going on now.
It would take Blizzard 2 months to release a patch for hacks and within 2 days there would be new, working hacks out.
And now I see similar stuff starting to happen to SC2 :-(
P.S. I tried adding [img] tags to the above link, but the image it leads to would turn out sooo tiny; the text in it was unreadable.

Wow!
Interesting!
Looks like someone is very good at hacking the game.
Can someone reply me his character number so I can check his profile?
EDIT: Obviously hacking. Seems to exploit by morphing a drone to a creep-tumor which of course is not "possible" making the other client get out of sync and/or crash.

How do you know if you've been drophacked?
I was playing a PvT, pretty intense back and forth, and I finally get into the back of his base with some Stalkers and a collsus and he has almost nothing to defend it -
And I was suddenly dropped. No game slowdown, no net slowdown, just flat dropped.

@MasterFwiffo, did this happen within the last few minutes? If so, I got dropped a few minutes ago as well, and it happened earlier. It seems the server may be unstable atm? Has cost me a bit today.

That might be it too. Darn Bnet.
