I would suggest that the war on cheats and multis could be more effective if players did not have to make a public declaration of accounts they suspect are cheating in some form, and could perhaps lodge a non public heads up to the mods who would then run their unbiased investigations and make a ruling one way or the other without the need to trash someones reputation on the "cheats" forum unnecesarily. I think more players would feel comfortable being able to make an anonymous enquiry about suspicious activities without causing contentions between their fellow cc members. I would suspect that a lot of players let secret diplomacy and multi account concerns pass over to avoid the unnecesary drama of having to call someone out publically and make an enemy over something that may or may not be fact, it is so incredibly difficult to prove anyway that I personally do suspect some diplomacys in a few of my games now and then but without absolutely knowing Id never even mention it as i dont want anyones name in the "cheats" forum just on my own suspicion. I feel more players would come forward if we were allowed to put in something more of an enquiry and have it professionally evaluated by an unbiased other without the hoo ha of "I accuse so and so of being a cheater" - and the adverserial affects that come with such public declarations. Most players are such lovely people they wouldnt report suspicious account activities they have noticed because they dont wish to rock the boat. The non public tip off would eliminate this entirely. If the suspect player is given the all clear they need never know there was an investigation and no harm done. Hopefully the result would be more ppl would speak up & less cheats lurking on cc
