    donsprintr:

    Account verification is no good to stop cheaters ... it might stop multi-accounters but not software cheaters. I would think the cheater would want to cash out those credits. And not have to sell them on the black market.

    I know of at least one cheater/hacker/multi-accounter ... whatever he was, banned and disabled right after the first round of the VUSO ... this cat was winning money hand over fist and was VERIFIED ...

    It's no deterrent ...

    What he said. I didn't bother reading past half way through the last responder. 

    Account verification would do absolutely nothing to stop players using cheat software...lol

    Goodnight

    What to make you laughing at, John. 

    You open a serious discussion, and you are not the first to talk about this topic (many others were called whiners for less), and now you laugh, why. What makes you laugh, my answer not exactly clear or the fact that some cheater can be ding as strong as you, and then become misunderstood, or what. Because you're still thinking if you tell me if you have ever been called cheater, didn't get the point.

    So, tell us what would you do to fight cheaters, you must not say leave because you would not be credible (I'm reading the past), so if you know that nothing will be done explain what this thread for, as like Courtney said: Is that a announcement or a news because the idea to "see" ding percentage is old and I think that won't be this the right approach to fight cheaters (quote Icon answer about 4 months ago).

    Anyone can be considered a cheater on web, no offense.

    Good Morning.

    Hi

    I don't know if it's possible but I'll check it out. But, as others have said, many don't play for ding, so it would be misleading as best.

    I really don't understand what you're saying or trying to get at sorry. Your opinion had nothing to do with what the thread was about and really had no relevance.

    All I wanted to point out was the fact that it would be greatly appreciated if wgt would start taking initiative to combat the cheating going on.

    Maybe my idea wouldn't work because some people play to miss the ding. But couldn't you track too what percent of the ding they are getting and the percent of that? It would be the same as getting the ding 99 percent of the time. Only you would be getting just off the ding 99 percent of the time. Kind of the same thing when you think about it.

    My point was that I wish WGT would start thinking outside of the box and be more proactive to prevent cheating. Instead of only taking action when a player is reported which is a rarity for cheating software. Much more often multi accounters are reported because it's much easier to spot.

    That's all really...

    Make the meter less linear , and more speeds jumps  in each 9 hole, that wil make the auto dinger come out screaming !!!! 

    more reflex and less cheating !

    I obviously do not speak for everyone , only myself. I'm a feel player , no math equations here, so I do not know my percentages , but I can assure you , I do not , nor do I wish to ding anywhere near 99.5 %.  IMO if you are not pushing / pulling putts (at times) , pushing into / pulling into crosswinds (at times) , playing wide and pushing into left to rights off the tee and vise-versa' (at times) , understanding what spin and / or lack there of will do to your yardages , you are simply not understanding nor playing this game to it's / your full potential. A 100 % ding software cheater would not bother me in the least...they are simply missing out...Big time !  WGT is much , much more realistic than some realize / give it credit for.

                                                                                                                        Ace

    Do not even try to make me go through what I am not. 

    If I were to answer slow it become personal, the fact that you do not understand it seems almost obvious, strange because I write in fluent english, if you think that my opinion has nothing to do with the question, why do you say that you do not understand: two different answers to the same statement.

    Let's say that you pretend not to understand. 

    Not bad, in all this you still have not answered the question that I have done, you keep saying that WGT must think outside the box rather than take action only after a cheater has been reported to them but do you still think that make visible the ding percentage ports to prevent this problem.

    You have an average of almost 50% on Top 10 Finishes for entered strokes, are statistics from great player but I think it should be the content of the discussions to be revised because they leave a lot to be desired.

    I hope this is clear, otherwise that's all really misunderstood.
