I'm in no position to judge who is or isn't cheating, for all I know everyone or no one is. Now it's one person's word against another and I can't see how that ends well. Only FM can conclusively say.

Why should German Racer 1 have to create an account here just to defend his name?

I'm encouraging people to send cheater reports direct to eafmhacks@ea.com, since this is the only official method I'm aware of. If FM wants us to use a different route they should tell us, but they shouldn't expect us to use our forums for that purpose. The forums should be a platform to raise the issue of cheating and keep pressure on FM to address it, not for this "he said she said" back and forth. I think it actually devalues the argument which is the exact opposite of what we want.

The bigger issue is what, if anything, FM is doing to remove these cheaters. Are they still interested in our reports or not? Perhaps they could give us an indication.

David,

I think you're wrong there. This whole thread was created to adress a very specific form of cheating / colluding / exploiting / whatever you want to call it. Basically this has been going on for years now but there's not a single place where it could be adressed, other than apparently some random emailadress. I - and many others! - tried that at your Reddit stub, but saw threads getting removed and therefore lost faith. Your place, your rules and nothing but respect for that. Spineless? Sure. Wont see me again there.

In this very specific case we have a very well known person in RR3 land which used up to 30 accounts or more, was accused of doing what he did due to overwhelming evidence and had a chance to publicly defend himself (which he did). I think thats only fair.

As for FM being interested in this kind of behaviour, of course they are. Guys like Powerup genuinely care and make sure its being stopped. Im really thankful mods here condone these kind of threads. It's needed.

As for semi-accusing German Racer for being Frank, thats my fault entirely. It sure was wrong and i edited my post accordingly. Im glad he confirmed everything we thought so far though.
