Fair play for all

Unfortunately there are still cheaters out there, not just here but in every game. If any more details are discovered here, can only help rest of the cheaters to don't get caught next time.
I think answer you get was pretty clear - they run scans periodically and they scan all. If you don't believe this, that's your problem.
It's very logical to me why players from same guild and community get banned. When you discover tricks like this and if you share with someone that will be inside your guild won't tell whole world.
So, don't pretend you don't understand anything and blame someone else. You need to distance yourself from banned players and show the rest of your group is fair, i believe that and never questioned.
Original post was great, but the way you all act in this thread will only make things worse -
@Vladimir_Top
Fluxxx' answer says that they do not check players or guilds. They scan for exploits, then ban the cheaters. Seems clear to me.Fluxxx said:Hi,
Just to be clear, we do not run scans based on specific player demographics, such as the country you're in, only based on the thing we're scanning for - which could be exploits, cheats, botting or other forms of gameplay automation. Then if action follows, then it is applied to all those detected - if that turns out to be a specific guild, or group of players, it is just coincidental. -

I don’t think you understand how computer code works. If there is a pattern of behavior, you can write code that comprehensively scans and identifies it. That seems to be what NG did here.

This wouldn't be a problem if the NG Servers were connected to Skynet as I have frequently suggested. Everyone would be automatically banned except for cyborgs which would guarantee I would be at the top of the leaderboard each week with approximately 36 weekly Challenge stars.

Sounds like Fluxx is very clear. This is not a witch hunt against Russian players. This was a script written to find and ban cheaters globally.
Crying about getting caught, or your friends getting caught, won't change anything. Cheating is wrong and breaches fair play rules. Any cheater claiming discrimination based on geography has no credibility to claim such things.
-
As an Argentinian player I just heard about the “cheating Russians” when other players (non Russians) wrote. Xxx is the real winner, not the Russians cheaters. And this happened two times at least. If is this behavior the problem I really understand the complaint in this post.
But in the Spanish/American countries we have banned players too.
The only difference is that in this zone we don’t use this to segregate anybody but the cheater. -
I think you're making a big deal out of nothing, with all due respect.
Truth be told, if you'd be worried about other players wellbeing by being cyber bullied or whatever, you would not ever in million years request any cheater names or the details of the checks to be published, becasue that whad would cause witch hunt and made whole "situation" worse. Maybe you haven't thought this trough this far, I don't know.
Other thing is, most of the people cheating in this game (those that got caught it's also important to mention and those that we know of) were Russian origin and/or location.
That's a fact, not against minority/nationality comment, just a straight up fact, number.
Now bearing that in mind, just becasue of that fact, when other legit Russian players are getting the abuse, that's absolutely not NG's or anyone else's fault, it's just people being peole. Idiotic, homofobic, racist, crazy imbeciles etc. like many of them out there are.
You must not hold NG liable for that because they simply aren't.
If you really want for the problem to perish, then stop rubbing it in and it'll go away or slowly die or at least become less apparent.
Those kind of posts most definitely won't help, even if I believe your intentions are good.
What works best is to try distance yourself from those things and try to turn it into a joke, that makes life much easier because certain, negative behaviours, you'll never ever vanquish them no matter how much you tried.
That said, it's not easy to do that often.
There's also other side where only NG knows of, only they really know in which locarion/nationality most cheating occurs and that's also important to remember, maybe facts could be that it's not Russian location where most cheats occur, we can't know for sure. It's also crutial they that information stays with them for exact reason this post has emerged.
Gues what I'm trying to say is:
GOOD VIBES and chill. -
I'm sure there is no persecution by nationality or country.
There are always punished players from other countries, for example in the last NW Germany lost the title for having 1 player punished, and other countries also had players punished. I've seen players from various countries being punished.
I understand that because of these cheating players, it ends up creating a bad reputation for other players in that same guild or even that country. But I don't generalize, I know that most Russians are honest, but unfortunately they end up having their reputation tarnished by some cheaters.
About checking players from all countries and all guilds. I'm sure this is done and all players are monitored.
And regarding the result of the GW ranking, the guild that was in 1st place was caught with 5 players cheating, and the guild that was in 2nd place played honestly and correctly, so I don't see what the problem is here, obviously the real one last season's victorious guild was one that didn't have players cheating.
My sincere greetings to Russian players and to all other countries, I really have nothing against you all. I am grateful to NG for the successful work of combating fraud, so that the dispute is always clean and fair. I sincerely hope that in the next GW season no player will try to cheat to gain advantages unfairly, and that if it happens again, NG will act again in a severe way.
I am 100% against cheating players, regardless of the country from which they play. Live the fair play, live the healthy and fair dispute between the teams, and may the best of all win.

@Firekid is completely correct in what he said.Why you want NG to breakdown the percentages of players banned to what is tested and in what nation, mate they aren’t here to spoon feed us. Don’t cheat and don’t get banned.Simple
Its unfortunate that Russia will have this tag. But it’s deserved at present. Blame the minority who have ruined it for the majority. Don’t put it on NG for not providing you statistics. Are you banned? No, so who gives a F. As long as you know you are clean, that’s all that matters.Who cares what we think! Or the community.When high profile players get done and particular performances raise eye brows. You expect people to question it.And I hate to bring this up, but when you have a country with the win at all cost mentality that was banned from the Olympics, it’s very easy for people to tag the Russian Nation with this label.
This is actually what we are talking about. The misconduct of individual players is projected onto all Russians. I am not asking for separate statistics on nationalities, I am asking for general statistics. To suppress rumors among the Russian-speaking community about bias towards us, it is important to know that everyone is being checked, regardless of merit and nationality. And personally, you demonstrate toxic behavior towards all Russians. @fluxxx pay you attention.I am actually very sympathetic that the majority of your Nation is labelled because of a small few.I just don’t think that your Nation and teams have been targeted which you are implying. And Fluxxx has said this above. And many other players have pointed this out through Fluxxx’s statement.And let’s just say for argument sake, let’s say the guilds and Nation has been targeted. You should be grateful to NG for helping clean up the game and Nation of the people not choosing to play in the perimeters of the game.We all invest a lot of time into this game, the cleaner the game the better.Targeted or not, I am grateful the game continues to find people that are not playing clean.And you should be thanking NG for helping keep your Nation clean. -

Players who aren't involved in this forum have shown up to it to insist that others "stop talking crap about them" on the very forum that contains zero crap talk. Does this have to do with Facebook? I never ever go there.
If there was crap talk here on this forum about Russian players, i missed it entirely. And i usually scan for every possible post i might be able to make. -

Well, specific information was given about the bans in the war of nations. What is the problem to give the same information now
-
I don’t think this proves what you think it proves. They ran a scan because of nation wars. 22 players who participated in nationwars were caught. This doesn’t mean there weren’t 100 players not playing in guild wars who didn’t get caught, just that they didn’t matter and so weren’t discussed.
it was also very general just giving a number of players caught. No breakdown of nationalities or percentages of those checked or anything.I’m very surprised that you brought this up though as it is probably where Russians got their “cheating Russians” stereotype from in the first place. -
On behalf of the Red Machine:
Red Machine does not in any way associate itself with this post/appeal, but we would like to make a statement that we support the decision to ban the cheaters though we are sorry that the banned players weren't given any second chance as it normally happens. We would like to also note that Red Machine promotes fairplay amongst its players and takes action against those who cheat and brag about it.

I think its always safe bet to be little racist against russians, afterall they shoot down commercial airlines and poison their own people.

Hello! I inform you that I knew of sanctioned players from America and Europe, so it is being applied for all.

Lol literally half of the 22 players banned during NW3 were from Team Russia. There's no NG witch hunt against your country but as far as your reputation goes, your top players are consistently caught cheating. You guys did this to yourselves. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

What makes you think you're entitled to stats on anti-cheat actions? Here's a free clue, you're not. Don't like it? Tough. The fact remains, high level players were caught cheating, and "other people are doing it too" is a defense that doesn't even work for infants. Grow up, and stop playing the nationalist card with no justification.

Tell me where are you from and I’ll find ten bad people and name you something.
Your logic sucks. -
I would say there is a language barrier here as well. The Russian community is not very visible to the English speaking community. There are very few Russians on this forum, very few on Line/Discord/Facebook/Slack and very few russians post public videos on Youtube. So for an English speaker, it looks like a quite small group of players. If then there are found a large number of cheaters, of course if will look bad.
One player got banned from my guild maybe a year ago, and he did never post anything anywhere. He had a huge score in the challenge but never shared any tips on how he got them, and sometimes also asked questions that were weird, for example basic questions about traits/badges. So I was not surprised when he got banned for exploiting the airplane mode cheat.
So my suggestion is very simple. Prove you are not cheating by posting videos of great gameplay, participating in the community and overall backing up your in-game score with real evidence of being a great player.Ingame username: Jubjab -
That's all i am trying to tell them too.
Reputation in this game is built through sharing, making videos, communication, involvement.
Russian players are distanced from community, can't install our chat apps unfortunately, not much present on forums too.
Yet when this things happen you come here together in large numbers and support eachother while attacking everyone else.
i am sorry but this are facts. For everyone here you are group of strangers who show up angry when they get banned or when some exploit you used get fixed
It's definitely true that there is bad atmosphere towards russian players - but you helped creating it with your behavior.
All this can be fixed if you try to be friendly, more involved and build your reputation by sharing videos and showing who you actually are in this game
I can say for example, i disagreed with almost everything this crazy @Crocodile was posting at beginning here, but now i realise he is one of the most dedicated players in the game. He has my respectSearching for a guild ? Join Wild Walking Family here

You just need to look at @iozzeg post to see how you respond to this sort of thing happening, with dignity and respect. Not shooting your mouth off and getting super defensive.

Thanks for the kind words. My crazy anger was against NG when I came to the forum and some of the members of the forum fell under it, but now I'm just trying to be useful to the community and let go of that anger. -
One of my guild member gotbanned last year,claimed as "Exploits low level survivors tobeat41-43 missions"(the fact he didn't),bad effect lasted till today and there's a low morale among my community.
I support you to figure out those questions from NG. -

My logic is fine because I said your top players are consistently caught cheating, not all players. Where is the lie
