Thanks to the help of a few people, we've started up a new section of the screenshots for hacker screens. This is the perfect way to finally get all those hackers banned. Here's how it works. You found a hacker cheating his way through the game and took a screenshot that clearly shows them cheating. Upload the screen to basilmarket after you've edited out your name from the pic so that it is clear who is cheating. Then, when people view the screenshot, they'll be given instructions on how to submit a formal abuse report, using your screenshot as proof! With enough people submitting abuse reports, these hackers are sure to be history! With everyones help, we can make MS a more fun and fair game.

*TIPS FOR GETTING HACKERS* The most difficult hack to catch, might be the "Wall Vac Hack". This means, the character literally goes out of normal boundaries, therefore his/her name doesn't appear on a screenshot. For example, 10 centimeters above the "map ceiling" and are viewed via the minimap. Hackers have a way of preferring Drake Hunting Ground for these purposes. In that case, there's not much to do, but wait until the hacker talks back and getting that way his IGN, and take a screenshot of the conversation.

I think instead of screenshots, we should have videos of the hacker so people won't think they are trying to frame another person when they are the ones hacking (like the first screen shot of someone vac hacking).

I hope this works, I haven't had any run-ins with any hackers, but I'd sure like to avoid it for the future. Also, this does have a big downside to it, since hackers could easily get people that they don't like banned by making it look like they are the hackers instead. I just hope that innocent bystanders don't get banned because of a select few ***-****s (not sure if I'm allowed to swear here, lol).

I dont think people should edit the pictures at all. If i was in charge or banning people i wouldnt trust anything edited.

Actually, MrBasil wanted the person to edit their screen shot so that Wizet doesn't get confused which one is the hacker and which one caught the hacker.
