I'll talk about cheating as long as people want to share ideas on the subject because I think it's one of those things where 'sunlight is the best disinfectant'. That being said I really dislike it when people name other people without posting specific proof of that person. If this were my forum I would have censored posts like the one above that show a "scoreboard of cheaters". That kind of thing does absolutely no good and worst-case scenario this exact thing happens: one of the accused comes on the board to rightfully defend themselves. Now fingers get pointed, allegations fly, and nothing is going to improve past where we are right now. All of this could have been avoided.
If you are going to name and shame you need to have proof. If you are going to infer then you need to at least have something that lets me make up my own mind. If you don't and you are just going to fire indictments from the hip about players on a public server then it just doesn't belong here. Now it's not my forum and I don't make up any rules but we should apply common sense because this is just going to devolve into a flame war that no one can win.
All Regulator needed to do was post this:
BTW, I'm curious Reg...Are you the same person I have talked to in the past? I'm gopostal in most other UT forums (JackGriffin at UT99.org). I think this isn't your first accusation. IIRC there were a couple of Sniper RNG players who vouched for you and said you were just a damn good player.
...Anyway, whatever. There's no need to defend against an empty accusation.

If Gonzo doesn't have proof then he shouldn't accuse. Simple as that. Capture a demo, use demorec software, whatever. Barring that, posts that name people as specific cheaters should be condemned because as Nels has said there are indeed VERY good players still around.Prove it.
