I think that this topic may go into "Opinions about this site".

There is a ton of cheating going on right now, and I find it disgusting.

Look at the exploit RHC7. 5 people have solved it, including myself. One, named TCM has solved a total of 6 challenges (at the time of this writing). I personally don't think that this person has gotten it. It must be a user of

r3d5pik3, rayden5, or theblacksheep

Or someone else who is using that account. IF any admins see this, please check their pms (you do save pms for evidence right?), and please cross link their IP address.

I am really sick and tired of people cheating at this site, please take a hard line against cheaters or else this site will become crap.

I can recomend to cross link people's IP's and show it publically. The people that are cheating are trying to get prestige so the best way to fight them is to embarrass them.

Please don't let this site become junk, I have enjoyed it thourouly and I want others to as well. Erik and tbs, the ball is in your court.

I totally agree with paralax... This site is magnificient, and yet can be turned into junk by cheating/trading/faulty postings.... I know that the the biggest group of users is honest, but I'm talking about a certain number of users that wreck it for all of us. You'll know if this is you!! I've recently came across some evidence of a person which deliberatly posted a solution of a challenge on the forum, just because of the fact that I've pointed out to him that i knew he was cheating...
This is SAD... Really, why do ppl do this... isn't it all about learning... Sure i know that some challenges are very hard and others need extensive hinting to solve them... but trading raw solutions... c'mon... I hope it won't lead to the downfall of this site!

Hi,

i dodnt need to add anything, i alread told my opinion about cheating and trading more than once, unfrtonately so far noone seems to be interested. I dont know who TCM is , never heard or seen him. But again i want to tell a very easy to do change to the site:

HIDE the List of Users who Solved a challenge, just show the numbers...only 2 links needed to be removed (usersta-page and challenge Stat page) and the query itself must be disabled...not too much work

Ray

If you have a smiley, hiding your name doesn't make the difference

I don't think that traders are looking for ppl with masters... They need members that aren't too high in the rankings because top level players don't trade... they post! (most of them) But I think rayden5's idea is good and will form an obstruction to trading users. I don't think that traders will send like 50 msgs all to diff ppl to find out which they have solved and if they want to trade...

that's a good idea to look for the user who solved the rhc8.
i am near to the end of that challenge.but dunno where is my fu**ing mistake.
maybe,looking for the ip paralax already told.

Ok here are some thing that I have found out by checking the log files (it took years!!!).

about TCM: -->just logged in once
-->no other user has an ip which is just even close
-->he never wrote an pm and never got one
-->i don't think he is a user with 2 or more accounts

asdfasdf/nonameleft-->
they seem to be the same user or at least know each other because they often have the same ips


-------------------------------------------------------------
i wrote already a pm to asdfasdf and i am waiting for his response

Didn't asdfasdf drop his account?

Is it a proxy ?

... could be from same isp...
woops, didn't see the proxy question... nvm
