Original Post — Direct link

I joined a game recently and it was pretty obvious that it was modded. We had 4 gold explody boys, about 20 golden loot bugs, another 20 Huuli hoarders, and the scout had a dome shield. I dont want to get banned because I stumble upon a mod match

The official stance is this: We obviously frown on cheating, but you will not be banned for joining a modded lobby. Since the game is peer-to-peer, there is sadly not that much we can do about cheating - at least at present. We are looking into options, but there are no immediate plans to start fighting cheaters.

But, if your progress is ruined by it, you can reload an earlier save from the Options menu.

Lots of thoughts, lots of discussion. Conclusion so far as far as I know is: "A lot more work than you'd expect, and not top of our priorities right now." It's obviously something we WANT to combat, but not at this moment in time.
