I was about to play in a Diamond Membership 3/2 yesterday and noticed someone cheating flagrantly. I didn't enter and observed the games--zero doubt. So I messaged the offender and told him to stop because it was so obvious and inevitable they would get their account suspended. The person responded, thanked me for the info, and said that their account had been "hacked". Is that possible or just an excuse?
While it's possible, I would suggest reporting and let staff make the call.
That said, discussions of cheating or potential cheating aren't allowed in the general forums. If you would like to have that type of discussion, join the following club.
