increase punishment for cheaters- if someone cheats dock all points on their main account down to (debate-able) 900, because i read about this multi who got caught more than once and kept on doing it because he got no real punishment.
- put an red flag near their name with a number indicating the number of other accounts they hav had illegally
This will improve the following aspects of the site:- prevent multi accounts
- remove the advantage achieved by having a multi
- warn people who are joining games if ther person they r playing with has had a multi, or has a chance of having one

I agree, except in games their point gains/losses should be from their old score.

Eh, that's probly too far, but i like the major docking of points. That would definitely piss off multis and they would probably stop after maybe 2 times getting caught.

This cannot be done. The points are calculated from their current score. It would be impossibly complex to code this solution.

Except, it shouldn't just be a flat 900 points, every time. I spend most of my time as a cadet (I just now won a game that jumped me up two ranks

); so this would actually benefit me if I chose to multi. How about your score is simply cut in half? Still very harsh, and also harsh for low-ranking cheats.

I just don't think other people should be punished by cheaters.

Thing is, docking points on multis just makes it easier for them to sap more points away from the honest members. However, I STRONGLY am for giving them some sort of marking that says they have been busted before in the past.

apologies if I've missed something along the way, haven't been as active lately, but don't we just block multi's and be done with it? or have we evolved past that and I missed it?

They don't block multis because they want to cash in on the money and don't care about their other, HONEST customers.

Thats because it is really impossible to block them, there are so many proxys out there that they cant be stopped.

If I could just block an IP as a 'foe', I would be happy. I'm sick of having someone on my foe list creating a new account so he can join my games.

Definitely. Something needs to be done and soon as it seems to be getting out of hand lately. Whether it is bannings, forfeiture of premium, IP blocks, point resets or all of the above. The majority of people who loudly complain will be those with something to hide while the silent majority will just go about their business.
