In the past I reported hundreds of players , HUNDREDS, but I would have loved to see a list with their names posted on BSN so I could be sure my effort wasn't in vain...but that never happened, regrettably.

And to the OP, it's pointless, the game is too far gone.

Since you got all the info you need in the post above, I would just go ahead and report the person.
Worse thing that will happen? Absolutely nothing... but maybe you will get some good karma.

I'm flabbergasted by all the indignation that gets posted on BSN regarding cheating. Where I'm from snitches are lucky if they end up with stitches; We were always taught to walk away when it wasn't our business.
This post reflects my thoughts exactly.

It applies to pretty much anything. It's never been worth it to meddle in someone else's affairs. It's most especially applicable to innocuous activities that are not legal.cato_84 wrote...

And before someone throws their sanctimony at me with something like "obvious cheater is obvious" or some other asinine accusations I would advise they look at my N7rating:Ultra Rare weapon ratio; It's ****.
That's seems like a pretty odd attitude to me. Does it only apply to minor things?
In the game sense it would be this exact situation of "Hey these guys are cheating! I'm gonna report them and **** up their gaming experience irreparably (e.g. banned from xbox)." They did nothing to you. The appropriate response would be "Hey these guys are cheating! I disagree with what goes on here. -quit game-"
In a real world sense it would be "Hey those guys back there are smoking marijuana! I think drugs are bad mkay. I'm gonna call the cops and they'll end up subject to the draconian laws related with drug possesion, likely ruining their life forever!" They did nothing to you. The appropriate response would be "Hey those guys are smoking marijuana! I don't want anything to do with that, especially if the law becomes involved, I better leave before I become associated with them in the eyes of passersby."
A more extreme sense would be "Holy **** those guys just shot that dude! I better tell the cops ASAP!" You have no idea what the context is for their actions. Next thing you know the purple monkey gang (or whoever the hell) finds out you ratted them out to the cops and they decide you don't need your legs anymore. Worse they decide your mother's schedule is too open and she needs something like her kids funeral preparations to fill it up. Worse still they decide you spent too much time with your mother as it is and you need to be planning her funeral.
You just don't know; It isn't your business; It's not worth it; Walk away.

Completely agree with this. If it ain't your business, just leave it alone.

That is just my opinion though.
Edit to add: Kinda becomes everyones buisness when you go into a public game and obviously cheat.

So innocent witnesses shouldn't report crimes for fear of retaliation from the criminals? If you saw a woman being raped on the street or someone being stabbed not only would you refuse to intervene but you'd also refuse to alert the authorities?

I agree with the point you are trying to make, but I don't think people ignoring cheaters in an online game means those same people would ignore rape or attempted murder. I sure hope they wouldn't anyway.

I agree with you about cheating in a video game being essentially unimportant. However, if you read Chrome Tater Tot's last post he actually does write that he would ignore a murder, that's the only reason I made the comparison to rape or attempted murder -

My guess is that Chrome tator tot is a "lol I troll you" kind of person or, if they actually believe the BS they posted, that they need a serious education in one's responsibilities to society.

Nobody cares about your manifesto. But I commend you from refraining to ruin the game by cheating/glitching.
But your stance on "snitches" is just ludicrous. Glitchers in private lobbies? Fine by me. Do what you want.
But how can you say that it isn´t our business when we enter a public lobby and get hosed by someone cheating/glitching? Do you beat random people up on the streets and tell them they should´ve just backed up/stood at home, becuase they have no business on your street? <_<
