Was this guy cheating in SC?

[Cool User Name]

Hey guys. I have a person in the league I am playing who says his team has been "frozen". When I go to look at it it gives him a weekly rank and all of 0. Pic will explain better than my words.

He was scoring really well, and was just outside the top 1000, until the last few weeks.

The big question: Has his account been frozen because he got caught cheating somehow?

He won his 2nd qualifying final last week (I won the 1st) and if we both win next week I'll be playing him in the GF. I want to know if he was caught cheating cos the guy who organised this league put up some $$ for whoever wins it (and I want to take his $$) LOL. I don't think he could be declared the winner if he was cheating.

Yup. I don't know the guy personally, and don't really give a rats who he is, I just want to know if he's a cheating prick. He just says his team has been "frozen" in the chat box.

Could be due to abuse in a league's psych-out box that got reported. I've heard of similar stuff happening in the past. No idea how you could cheat in SC.

BTW bestin, creating alt forum accounts to get around a red card is the easiest way to get a permaban.

Nah, there aint been nothing bad in the psych out box. All are friends of the guy who created the league, and it's all casual there. Not really a lot of chat at all actually.

He says another team is his Dad's account, which I think he probably plays himself, but I'd be willing to bet there's heaps of ppl who play more than 1 game. I played my wife's team one year (about 3 years ago), but she actually plays now. Doesn't play well, but meh ... she has fun.

So no1 has any idea why a person's team would be frozen like this, and all standings in the game be at "0"?

As has been stated, he has either sworn or abused in the psych out feature or has multiple SC teams. Have you emailed the SC nerds for an answer? They are quite prompt at returning emails.

They are prompt...unless you start your email 'Dear SC Nerds,....'

Update: So after I shot off a couple of emails I get one back telling me they reactivated his team and he can log in as normal.

I wonder if the dude will even try and log in again? LOL
