You have to provide some kind of evidence/proof (screenshots/replays etc.) if you are going to accuse somebody.

Additionally, a supporting comment of what people should be looking for and when will be necessary if you are posting replays/evidence.

Its sad but there is not much that can be done about maphackers, The blizz antihack can catch some but there is always going to be new hacks and cheats.

The only thing you can really do is just not take ladder that seriously because its not like a maphacker is going to get unnoticed in a tournament

Just want to point out that Warden (the Blizzard anti-cheat system) can't catch everything, even if they "know" about it. Part of it has to do with privacy, the fact that if Blizzard put out an anti-cheat system that scanned all your programs and hardware people would be screaming their heads off. The other part has to do with how much resource usage would go up looking for the things. The final part has to do with preventing an abundance of false positives, like that Mumble ban wave.

Note: this isn't to detract ANYTHING from the OP, TT1, and co. Just wanted to say that certain hacks are best dealt with from the ground up, with good ol' mass reporting of obvious offenders by users.

Blizzard has to be careful in how they handle this. The best way for them to do it is to just keep updating their antihack to continually date whatever hacks are being used at the time.

Permanent bans will work until the offending hacker can get their hands on a new account somehow, and Blizzard also always runs the risk of banning someone innocent, which is worse than banning the accounts of five hackers. Unless the evidence is so overwhelming as to be irrefutable, they really shouldn't do anything.

Dealing with hackers sucks, but give Blizzard a break...

Lets assume we compiled a bunch of replays for ever person that hacks. 10 Replays per person, and then lets assume 1 out of every 50 people that play the game hack. Do you understand how much man power it would take to go through all that shit. You can't honestly expect blizzard to be on top of this as everyone demands. I can't believe you guys think blizzard doesn't care but they just can't go handing out ban's to individuals ever day. They do ban people but they do it in groups. Also when blizzard bans people (assuming that individuals doesn't already have multiple accounts) they just sold another copy of sc2... you know this person is going to get another account. So they are making money getting rid of cheaters.

Its easier to create a hack/cheat than it is to stop them.

Why don't the Pros talk to Rob Simpson since he seems to be Blizzard's outreach to the esports community.

I feel like that blizzard really doesn't give a fu*k about all the hackers in StarCraft 2. For how many months did the RatZ dude (Can't rembember his name) go on until he was finally banned, banning almost-innocent destiny at the same time?
The report-function in game, I 100% believe that they don't even monitor that. You can spam the report, write tons of shit on those, and still nothing happens.

StarCraft 2 doesn't even have it's own gamemasters, and some of the gamemasters have no idea about starcraft.. (tickets)

Personally, I have gotten the feeling that Blizzard doesn't give a shit about anything, except if it can get them money. Much money.

I can't take you seriously for your argument is quite bad. I wasn't even aware that deezer was banned but his cheating was only evident through stream-cheating. Which is not their concern at all because you become liable to it once you turn on the stream. It has nothing to do with hacking inside the actual game.

Also, it's probably worse to spam report. I think it makes less of an impact. If anything, Span report should be an offense. Because it's probably already hard enough to keep up to all the reports in the first place. Besides, Destiny was not innocent at all when he got banned. I don't blame him for what he did but theres nothing "almost innocent" about it.

PS: You can't be almost innocent. It's like saying that you were Almost right.

the best thing i think you can do with this IS to report things like this, the coomunity will have to make the stand but it wont be easy! Make this more known, parody it, get it on you tube/twitter/facebook/bebo/myspace . .whateva dafuq . . then when these cheats match against you . . .leave the game! Sooner or later we will have collated all the smurf accs,send it out in a weekly email. Only 200 people in GM, not really that hard to remember a handful of these people. Theyll soon get mad/deranked/tried as they wont be bable to play many games . . .Victory:ScoreScreen and their $30 accounts will soon be useless. theyll just have to buy more. which isnt a bad thing, ive always found that buying the same thing twice is a pro way to go o_0.

..of course this doenst work if they just want high ladder ranking and DONT want to play the game . . . but i know what im like . .i cant get enough of it so id be pretty mad!

i Played my first maphacker yesterday on EU. High master guy called "meh". IF he didnt do a couple of stupid things (only scouted once he had 3 stalkers straight for the cross position despite my scv coming from another angle, sending his initial stalker straight for my hidden scv, sending the before mentioned stalkers to intercept a bunch of marines he never saw) I wouldnt have noticed anything. Thought he had brilliant positioning in the late game fights lol.
