  Cheat , hacking and exploits are the Herpes of the gaming world. They can only be mitigated at best. I've been gaming  25+ years. No system is fool proof. Hackers adapt quickly.

  Flash base games are the easiest to hack. Any anti cheat would best be applied server side by WGT. I'm sure they do use some type of flash anti cheat engine.

  Adding a third party program to the client side can be troublesome. ie false positives ,interference with the game itself..etc.

  How many are comfortable with this EULA:

  There is no ethical or regulatory oversight of Punkbuster or Even Balance. Based on their EULA they have complete access to a user's computer: their personal information, bank account information, online purchase history, or anything stored on the computer or viewable using its display. Punkbuster simply expects users to trust them. In PunkBuster's EULA, PunkBuster notes they are invasive, and that they reserve the right to inspect someone's entire harddrive and all of their files:

  "Licensee understands and agrees that the information that may be inspected and reported by PunkBuster software includes, but is not limited to, Licensee's Internet Protocol Address, devices and any files residing on the hard-drive and in the memory of the computer on which PunkBuster software is installed." "Further, Licensee consents to allow PunkBuster software to transfer actual screenshots taken of Licensee's computer during the operation of PunkBuster software for possible publication." "Licensee agrees that any harm or lack of privacy resulting from the installation and use of PunkBuster software is not as valuable to Licensee as the potential ability to play interactive online games with the benefits afforded by using PunkBuster software."

  
  

  Something to think about.

  I have been getting accused of cheating by a guy Pletcshette recently because he thinks my average score is my handicap. Ive tried explaining to him that the tier you play in is closer to a real handicap but he is adamant that i am manipulating my scores to cheat. I even reported him to WGT but they dont appear to be doing anything about it. Anyone else encountered this problem?

  Does anybody know how to tell if someone is using cheat software?  Why cant WGT tell if a person is changing the game play?  The computer using the cheat has to have some sort of fingerprint it leaves behind when it uses rogue software.  Any help appreciated.  I enjoy match play for 100 to 200 credits but I feel like I have been donating them lately.  Cheaters would explain this.

  Attention Please!

  Most of the "WONDERSCORE PLAYERS" between 52 - 59 average, never or very seldom play with other players. WHY?  Well, most of them are the CHEATERS... It takes some time to cheat on every shot, so they prefer to play alone without any timer. They need more time for their setup of the shot.. If shot is not good they can replay the last shot..... CHEATING!

  As in everything we do in life, we do not do it the same way every day, because of the human factor. But these 52 - 59 average Wonderplayers they never fail, nope never. They score the same most every day..... HOW? Well, most of them are CHEATERS.

  What about the guy who shot 9 under par on his very first round at MERION......well, again, they are called CHEATERS.......

  Lastely, why do we see the same guys in the low scoring all the time....CHEATING!

  I love the game, but it is clear to me that WGT have changed my platform, and it is now impossible for me to score like I did in the past.  THX WGT!
