Yeah Benn I think I know who you are talking about too..there is a "group" that cheats and  it's very obvious...

Why not just come out and say who it is?

I've heard alot about some SA-TAC players not calling their hits, but that might not be who you're talking about.

If it's true, here's hoping those involved realize it and change their ways.


  I agree with Azsarge.  Granted, no one wants thier dirty laundry aired, but its rather unproffessional to say "someone" and make vague assertions.  All that's going to do is cause more problems than just being up front.  

Frankly, if you know someone's cheating, report it to thier team leader.  If it isn't resolved, report it to your team leader so that he can have a talk with them.  If it still isn't resolved, then you start looking at reporting it to the AA people so that person isn't invited.  If you loose sight of the fact that this is a game and you're supposed to be out there to have fun... you've already lost before you even started whether someone is cheating or not.

On the subject of professionalism, perhaps we should also be a little more professional in our choice of verbage as well.  Our actions on this board could be a detriment to our sport if someone who is intrested comes on and see's nothing but paintball like attitude in how people converse with each other.  

Imagine the impression a lawmaker would have were he to read such posts while researching a possible ban on our sport.  He'd assume it's a good idea to ban airsoft guns because the only people playing are a bunch of delinqients.

Doesn't make much sense to talk about a lack honor and professionalism in paintball, and then show the same on our boards.  :(

I am not sure that this topic is constructive anymore.  I don't feel like weeding it out, so I will lock it and let it slide into the depths of the archived posts soon.  If the original poster wants to revive the original topic in a new thread, so be it.

As far as the other topic that crept in here, I will say this:  If you are going to publicly accuse someone of cheating, you had better be DAMN sure that they cheat.  In other words, you better have more than just "my word against his."  I could say a lot more about the subject, but if it's only the two individuals who saw it - discuss it in private (use PM's or email).  If they are a cheater, they will do it again and eventually someone else will see and bring it to light.
