As part of an effort to keep the battlefield a cheat free zone, Blizzard has dished out over 5,000 suspensions and bans to StarCraft II gamers that were caught cheating.
Moral of the story? Don't cheat. Seems pretty simple, but I guess it takes all kinds.
We recently took action, including suspensions and bans, on over 5,000 StarCraft II players who were in violation of the Battle.net Terms of Use for cheating and/or using hack programs while playing. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair competition that’s essential to play on Battle.net, cheating and hacking can lead to stability and performance issues with the service. Maintaining a stable, safe, and secure online-gaming experience for legitimate players is a top priority for us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed.
