Some of you might recall my thread I did 4 months ago about a full team of cheaters which ruined daily the (few) PC lobbies still alive.
The most blatants cheaters were MehdiYK, Heisenberg (which got banned) and two more others which might also got banned because I've never seen them anymore. Even if it took time, at least they got what they deserved, so good work on that Treyarch!

Flash forwarding as of today: they're back at it again.
MehdiYK has somehow dodged the ban, even with the tons of reports made here on Reddit/in-game (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) which, in my opinion, left 0 doubts about him using cheats.

In the video above I just clipped this "[meme]Puzzels" which is the most blatant, but I'm sure that the whole team is wallhacking, just like back in the days.

The main problem (beside the undetected cheats) is that people caught chaeating are being "only" account-banned, and therefore can just buy the game again (yes, some are that stupid) and continue to cheat. rAky did this at least 3 times, and Heisenberg is now back with his new account "[BoBo]DemonQueen" (didn't even bother to change his former clan tag). He's not even hiding this, because he told me himself he doesn't care if I report him here on Reddit because he already has 5 more accounts ready to be used.

What I'm asking (and I think it's a common request) is to please hardware ban people caught cheating. I'm not sure why Treyarch won't confirm if that's an option, and if yes, in which conditions it is applied, but it's evident we need it on first offence of cheating, considering the time it takes to get them banned and how small the PC community is. I think it's a fair request.

/u/FoxhoundFPS please take a look. I already reported all of them in-game. Thank you.

First and foremost, thank you for creating the report. I'll pass it along.

Active policy enforcement is the proverbial cat and mouse game, and we don't share the outcome or process of investigation as part of our policies. The goal of avoiding specifics is to prevent passing that information on to cheaters who may use it to exploit further or evade.

I understand that this may not be satisfactory for you or others. However, it is a standard policy approach for most enforcement scenarios. Ultimately I can only assure you of the points I often share:

  • In-game reports produce results and share the necessary information immediately.
  • In-game or social reports aren't the only tools/medium available to our team.
  • We take the situation seriously regardless of the perception crafted/shared by the community or policy offenders themselves.
