The title says it all. Lets name and shame BOTH those players who exploit, such as the surrender-lag-exploit, and those players who are pointlessly offensive.

I suggest we the community who dont want to let exploiters destroy SE start a thread to name suspected exploiters (or hackers). Most common is probably the deliberate lag out when surrendering the statue exploit, now this often leads to a 'defeat' screen, and allows a replay to be taken.
Imagine a player who makes a habit of trying to use that exploit when being defeated, he's gona appear in this thread many times - losing, surrendering, then winner goes to defeat screen.

I would hope the devs/mods would be able to take an action - warning, ban etc against players with a significant body of evidence against them.

I would hope this thread could provide just that evidence.

So, if you think you were wronged by an exploiter, get a replay if you can and post it here. The guy cheated you, and you dont owe it to him to cover up for him - that makes you a willing victim and an accomplice, allowing him to exploit others in the same way!

If griefers and exploiters are not dealt with, they pose a serious threat to the long term health of the community and indeed the survival of the game. So step up and act to defend our game!

ETA the thread also identify known griefers, like semeshine mentioned in the thread 'jerks'.

Well yea, but I'm actually thinking the "Problems" section already deals with this, but not so much. We should make a new section about this shouldn't we?!

Right, I'll start.
Archybeatz has exploited against both me and MaimiBigAl, as stated in posts 14 and 15 of the thread seriously by Wyzdm. http://forums.stickpage.com/showthread.php?51122-Seriously&p=876576&viewfull=1#post876576
I was defeating him seriously, he surrendered and the game froze up (or lagged out). No replay, because it locked up on his statue falling.

The game froze. For me, this is going to be hard to tell, because it is very possible that I actually lagged out, instead of being glitches out...

Yes, its gonna be hard for you Fr0st, and so you are excused from duties as an uber-cop :)

There will be cases when it really does happen by chance - but the probability of it happening by chance just as the statue falls is very little, and the probability of it happening exactly at that time repeatedly for a player when he is losing is, well, fuck all.
I hope that it will be easier for Dev's to act upon a body of evidence, rather than a single incident.
I also hope some of the exploiters will be less inclined to do so when they will be named and shamed so even if the Dev's dont act but some exploiters are too ashamed to keep exploiting, then its worth while.

ETA Aimen, when I said it locked up, what I was describing was that the game didnt progress past the view of his statue falling. The statue was gone, but the last rubble was still there, I could move camera round the stage, see my units and so on, but not select or act. It just stayed there, didnt go to victory or defeat stage, but I know for 100% sure I was reduced in rank because it took me below 1900 - and I was over 1900 before the match. Because he was so much lower rank than me, I lost between 25-30 ranking.

Somefatguy1 has stopped, so to anyone who has been rigged by him, he sends his apologies and is also forfeiting as justice. That's all I know

archy beatz is the biggest threat I know, but just a reminder that when they pause DO NOT UN-PAUSE or make any effort to stop them. It is in fact when you un-pause and they re-pause that causes this glitch to be more evident (to my knowledge, as archy has yet to succeed now).

Say, are you afraid of exploiters? Because I do.

SeeMeShine, not sure if he's still on Top 100 because it's now up to 1800 -.-

He is very annoying and keeps pausing the game, then lagged out which froze the game. Also calls me a noob for beating him and other stuff.

Thats great! if more people stop expoliting because of this, then its a sucess, even if the devs cant do anything.
Well done Somefatguy1. If you ever exploited me, I forgive you :)

Great tip WyzDM.

Hes rated 1777, not in the top 100.
But he's still a jerk, just not a threat to the peace of mind and enjoyment of more highly rated players. He can still annoy players with lower rating, though.
