|
|
We've had a lot of discussion lately about score pumping. This has to stop to keep the leaderboard healthy, otherwise the leaderboard is a sham.
I am going to try various ways to address this. The first way will be to auto-discover score pumped games, and not give points to the winner of said games. If this doesn't work, my next plan is to go to 1 ID per player path.
Until this automated system is in place, I am putting suspected score pumpers into quarantine, to restore health to the leaderboard. When in quarantine, the account is still active, however it won't be visible in the leaderboard. When the automated system is in place, it will determine this automatically.
There are a couple of ways to get out of quarantine:
a. play legit games until 98% of your games are not score pumped games.
b. reset your account to 1500. Send me a PM for this.
Any questions, please post here. I'm sorry if your account was quarantined by accident, I'm sure this will happen occasionally. Please bear with me, and send me a PM.
Again, score pumping needs to stop in order to restore fair competition to the leaderboard.
Thanks. _________________ Warfare Incorporated Development Team

Hehehe I was like low 30's now I'm a teen lollollol cheaters
Scottlu said "When in quarantine, the account is still active, however it won't be visible in the leaderboard."
so they still and gain points I hope that's what it means. And if I beat them I get their many points right.
Let me help the bit out play the bots maps again and play with your anon members to get your spot back(you done it before but that's not cheating.) _________________ Things I'm proud of...

Yaay! Finally no more cheaters! Lol I moved up like 20 ranks on the leaderboard . Btw what's the *** before the "about" on this topic name? Did Scott swear ? Now I think it's time to get a rule for those one map players, like Stone88. Stone is #3 but he just plays BoT all day and night, no other maps. Thanks for getting rid of those cheaters Scott! _________________ Warfare Incorporated Former Head of Administration || Steam username: WINate |

Im now with both acc's in the top 25.
but scott, i would reset their acc's. For example: they take a new acc and every bit play with his acc one time against him and they let him win( new acc), he can get in 10 games without problems 200 points and when he have 1900 and they cheat he has in the end 2100 points and thats again an art of cheating. I hope u understand it so i would reset their acc( from all player, not only the bit) _________________ _______DEUTSCHLAND______

How do we know how many percent we have until we get to 98% not score pumped? _________________ ------------------------------

I'm curious to see how your going to stop ppl from having more than one account since each account is registered with different email address. you can block IP addresses but that tends to create more problems than solving it, like blocking other legit players from the same IP address area from playing. _________________ ~(_8(I)...resistance is futile...we are jao...we are ONE...jao will be assimilated...

I would avoid limiting it to one account. I have two- Major Miner and Miner- and it's not to cheat, it's because I SUCKED A$$ at first (as Major Miner) and now I'm dragging all that early losing along with me <grin>. I made Miner as an account to focus on rating (not play new maps, etc.).
Put another way, if a person cares at all about rating, and let's face it anyone reading this thread cares, it leads to never playing new maps, never playing 2v2 unless you have a great partner, etc. If people have multiple accounts they can learn with one and kick butt with the other.
Or that's my theory anyway. |

What if you had one account, but when you created a game, you could either make it a scoring game, or a non-scoring game? _________________ Warfare Incorporated Development Team |
