Obvious cheats like spinbots spinning like crazy aren’t the only form of cheating, many cheats are more subtle and you may not realize as a player in the game, or an admin. Just look at the occasional streamer caught cheating — it’s not even obvious with tons of people watching their first person POV streams.
- nkrisc 2y agoIf we couldn’t tell they were cheating, than they weren’t ruining the experience. They didn’t gain anything from cheating on our server. There was no ranking or prize for being good.

- Nullabillity 2y agoSo, in a matchmaking system, the cheaters filter themselves into a cohort of other cheaters and players who are on even ground without cheating. On the other hand, you have issues like smurfers who cause the same disruption without actually running any cheat software. Ultimately your problem is uneven matchmaking and the perception of cheating, not cheating itself.
