Here's my recommendation (and I think we all trust Lloyd):

If, in the future, anyone in the MTT forum becomes aware of widespread cheating occuring, they PM Lloyd so he can make an "official" announcement or something -- Lloyd can post something like "Attention: this kind of cheating seems to be occuring. Everyone should be aware". Lloyd agrees to not reveal whoever PMed him.

I understand how complicated these situations can be among friends, etc. Maybe this way too alarmist, going over-board, whatever. But it sounds like genuinely good and honest people knew what was occuring and were in impossibly difficult situations. At the very least, it lets everyone in the community be aware of the cheating issues that exist in the games. I realize it does nothing for the masses who aren't 2+2 members, but I think this is at least an improvement. Hopefully people don't abuse it and PM Lloyd everytime they get sucked out and think they're being colluded against.

Alright, flame away. I admit this is probably stupid. And my advanced apologies to Lloyd if he hates this idea.

I think that's a good idea, as long as it doesn't turn into an unsubstantiated rumor fest.

How could it not?

If you have suspicions, this is not the place. Inform the affected sites ONLY. Don't post here. Don't IM your buddies. Don't tell your sister...

Innocent until proven guilty doesn't work in this venue. Slander will be interpreted as fact by many.

Why are we insisting on taking such a dangerous line?

1) I can make a case for informing the sites, but I completely understand why people would be hesistant to do this. Alot of people here seemed to think informing the site was a bad option.

2) I would HOPE it wouldn't turn into just "hey I saw some suspicious activity" -- but more along the lines of "Lloyd (or whatever trustworthy third party became responsible for reporting cheating issues to the community), I *know* this is going on".

Lloyd (or whoever) could use the poster's reputation to decide if he wants to take action or not, and alert the community.

Anyway, I admit it's flawed for the reasons you mention -- it would probably descend into baseless finger pointing. And I admit such a plan would give Lloyd an enormous headache -- and I certainly have no right to volunteer him for a very difficult job.
