Sometime I am reporting 6-8 teams per day paying high prices for useless palyers. And I think this is becoming a big problem. What I am suggesting is make those cheating teams visible.Let's say make hall of shame and list teams that were cheating. The purpose of this is not to punish users (because they are anonimous and they don't care) but to make better feedback for those who are reporting cheaters and for better monitoring of teams that already were punished (because it can happen again). What I see now is only number of punished teams but I don't know what are those teams, how they were punished. If BB don't change reporting system I think more and more teams will try to get money from cheating because it's became hard to get money for daytraiding...

It will never happen.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

It's been decided that anything regarding cheating is between the staff and the users.

There's little value to exposing names of cheaters.

Well I think it will become the same as in HT where no one cares about reporting cheaters because there will be just too many of them.

So the 3620 HT locked last week all were magically produced?

You dont see the result straight away because the outcome isnt always instant. Rest assured everyone is dealt with and we appreciate every submission. Nice thing is that cheaters nearly always re-offend (especially if they think they are getting away with it) so chances are any delay in finalising a punishment normally results with us receiving a new report from someone else which in turn makes our decision that much easier.

Bottom line is they are being dealt with. Every single one of them.

to add to the answer: should someone get wrongfully accused by a cheatrepporter, and GMs investigate it and decide he is no cheater, his teamname would be in everyone's minds, which is obviously very bad.
The real cheaters won't be bothered being in the list, since they loose their team anyway.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Instead of reporting names couldn't you report a kind of status like:
x cheaters taken out.
x teams suspended ?
x illegal transfer managed?

I think its good to show to the public that some actions is performed.
