The following accounts have been banned from WarGear for as they are being operated by a single player:

wertu & arnaldo

Please use the 'report suspicious behavior' link at the bottom of the game page to report any suspicions of cheating.

Great to hear that you are doing something against cheaters.

I think you should also remove them (him) from the rankings.

I saw they were registered under different countries. The IP address should be used to control that (if possible). I even saw a player changing country ! I don't think he has moved.

Also there should be a clear warning when you open an account that it is strictly forbidden to have 2 accounts. You would even have to swear you are not doing that.

The following accounts have been banned and booted from all their active games as they have been found to be operated by a single player (kinetix was the primary beneficiary):

Bloodlust
Datorangers
Djameson
kinetix
KingScorpion
MaratSafin
rainlee
Zforce

For evidence of the relationship check http://www.wargear.net/games/view/48327 for an example.

20ish minute game with 4 players!@# That would be awesome if they would actually play out in that amount of time.

how many puters did he have going! its hard enough trying to do 2 with the logging in and out to get between them [test account ;)]

I knew for a long time about Kinetix. Same for Jarpan (http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/1257). It's good to see Tom is trying to do something but I am not sure what should be done.  I will open a thread about this important issue with the idea of getting more thoughts.

Kinetix has been dropped from the ranking stats after re-indexing without games that he won. 

I'm very impressed you could do this re-indexing after such a long time. Could you do that for Jarpan too ?

Yes will do - at the next reindex his game wins will be dropped.

PleaseDiePLZ and IwillDie have both been banned and booted from all games for being a multi-account player. I have tried to keep games open where possible but for fairness games with 5 or less players have been terminated where both players were still active.

I believe that PleaseDiePLZ is in some tournaments.  When you get a chance will you surrender him in those?  Thanks for all you do Tom.

Don't know if it's the same guy, but now there is a player who joined today called PleaseDie.  Kind of funny.

Royal Assassin and Demonic Tutor banned for multiple account use.

Codes4 and TheManSand banned for multiple account use.

Good to see something is done, but isn't all this pointless ?

This guy had already created 2 other accounts the day following the message of FiveRocketCars telling him he was unmasked (Codeman and Sandyman). Ban them and he will create 2, or 3, or... 10 other accounts in a more discrete way and nobody will be able to prove it. I know many players don't want the use of  IP's as it would spread suspicion. I don't share this point of view. Believe me there are a lot of cheaters around. 

For my part I believe there should be an OPTION for premium members to play only with premium members (when they create a game). This would be a way to decrease the risk of playing cheaters, and would also be a good perk to become a premium member.

Displaying IP addresses is not going to fix the problem, it will just drive cheaters to be sneakier about making sure the IP addresses they use for multiple accounts don't match. Most don't do this now so this will make them harder to detect.

There will also be more false accusations and family and friends will be dissuaded from playing together - this is also an unwanted consequence.

I could see this being a reasonable way to prevent playing with multi-accounters.

Players already have this option ..as long as the game is private. It would make a mockery of the point system if these types of games could be public.    One compromise option that I could see working would be to have a "Premium member invite only" option for private games (which would filter out enemies of course).

I think it is good to ban the accounts. It should be demoralizing to go through all that effort only to have your primary account erased. Repeated soul crushings may have some deterrent effect.

Silent-Strike and grlehman banned for cheating.
