Ive always loved your passion with regards to the cheaters/people abusing this game Wolph.
Doesnt mean i agree with you though haha!
Having public IP's, or lists f people who share IP's/proxies, I believe would still lead to 'pitchfork mob vs Ogre' like behaviour. People would troll through these lists, looking for oher people to oust.
on face value this might seem like a good idea - community helping the GM's - but what would probably happen in reality is that GM's would get inundated with 'oh this guy who is using a proxy - he just sold a player for too much money - he must be cheating'. suddenly the GM's have 10 times as many cheating reports to go through - it would be like if everyones criminal behaviour was posted to everyone - your next door neighbour would ring the coppers everytime a strange noise came from your house. (assume u had a crim record haha)
you would also then have public accusations of cheating/forum discussions around 'why does this guy have a non-static IP/proxy, AND he is a successful.. must be cheating.... " - honestly, i used BB at work, i have NO idea about how my IP comes out - maybe it is proxy as well? But it would make a really bad environment if people starting accusing me of cheating in the forums, simply because of the nature of my internet connection - '.... its just not requierd and in the end would be detrimental to the game and community.
Just like in real life, the policing should be left to the police. yer sure some criminals get away, but most of the time they eventually get found out (and lets face it, most of the time the reason why someone gets caught is because they get away with it the first time, and then do it again and again until they do get caught).
for me - as long as I know that cheaters are being caughty - which I do - then thats ok with me. If the GM's need help with their current cheating review processes, i can highly recommend Wolph - he is the most passionate dude going round with regards to this! :)
