Anyway in SC2 it's going to be pretty hard to tell for certain considering a completely stealth maphack is possible. You'd just have to notice patterns of a player acting suspiciously (like instantly directly scouting a proxy location) which is hard to tell for certain. Rigged maps no longer a problem at least.

Cheating means you're taking risks.. just like taking steroids in sports. You take the risk for the reward, knowing you might get caught... ..except when you get caught cheating in Starcraft, you just make a new name and no one gives a fuck. | ||

While "past" actions don't necessarily predict the "future", I do think that current and recent actions are an indicator of future ones. If people re not and have not in the recent past played BW cleanly, they should not be allowed in SC2. If they have cleaned up their act in BW and can show as much, hey, cool, let them in. | ||

I don't know anything about this (not saying its not true, just interested to know more) DIMAGA abused to improve his ladder rating in the TSL2, and was subsequently disqualified from the TSL2, banned from TL events for 12 months, is banned from competing in the TSL3 in the future, and was banned from GG.net events & rankings for 6 months: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=108352 Keep in mind he doesn't exactly fit the OP's description, because he's not a repeat offender, and he definitely tried to make up for it by apologizing afterwards. | ||

Not sure if the people you're talking about have been caught numerous times, but with a new game comes new trust, or so I would think. User was temp banned for this post. Lol this guy obviously doesn't know wut happened in be with kids like Dino who hacked every day for fun and admittd it. There is no way these guys shud be magically forgiven just because our game platform changed. | ||

Testie shouldn't be listed among them. He hacked multiple times - at least twice that I can think off - said he'd never do it again, then blatantly ruined the game for others by doing it again. Though to be fair, not being caught for seven or so years after that makes up for it somewhat. Still, I have not sympathy for hackers. Get caught, then fuck off. I won't lose any tears over someone ruining the game for others not being able to play because he got caught. No self-respecting individual would hack. Probably with the above paragraph is that it's only true for people 18+.... before that, we all do stupid things - even though I still despise hackers even if they're minors ! | ||

Unfortunately it cannot be prevented. As long as the server sends ALL unit data to all players (even those under the fog of war), that data can be used by maphackers. So I guess it's a matter of accepting that a small percentage of your games will be against a maphacker (would me extremely small actually).. | ||
