Blame the individual or the whole team?

Should the whole team be punished for the act of a single person? Recent example; Team Ireland and Allu caught hacking, was it right that the whole team is removed due to the idiocy of one of their players, if so what would have been a better punishment?

personally I think, all games allu played in should be forfeited but ireland stay in the cup

also, I think the team shouldn't be punished generally only the offending individual should
actually I reckon it'd be nice if ireland could have gotten a new 6th player and then just replayed all their matches fairly
Parent
Ermm I think you should limit that to the matches they won. I don't see why they should replay a closely lost match and get a 2nd chance at winning because one of them cheated...
Parent
replay all the matches is not a good solution tbh.

First of all, since CB is so retarded that they decide to have EC and NC at the same time, its hard enough to get the nc matches played.. having to play some of the matches over again would be even worse.

Imo, The team should get forfeit in every match played with the cheater (this will allso make the cheater feel more responsible for his actions, isntead of only him getting the punishment, hopefully less people will cheat when team allso gets it, not only the cheater),
Parent
That last part is very true.

Even if a player has got busted from cheating @ public, he should never have a clan to play with, or an opponent to play against. Bring back pb hardware bans!

funny :)

Well, in the same time whole team probably knows that their player is actually cheating.

have a comment, fusen :P
matches he played in forfeit loss and ban for lifetime
can't say it better...
Parent
I don't agree on Valkir. When playing you don't spec much, if your pr0 at least.

But I think we must not lower the border for cheating. If it only affects the player who uses it, he might use it quicker because he knows he will only get himself removed. If he dares to risk the existance of the whole team like now, he should be more ashamed.
"I don't agree on Valkir. When playing you don't spec much, if your pr0 at least."

lol please, just about 90% of my comms are made watching another player, telling him where the enemy is/what he might do or what he is doing. So i doubt im the only one, i even do it when im actually not dead as well.
Parent
so you consider yourself pro then?
Parent
no..disagreeing with the whole pro only concentrating on there own game thing, just look at idle tbh
Parent
That's because you're dead 90% of the game, nP. :o)
Parent
When I see a pr0 player die, and he starts speccing his m8s, he keeps switching from player to player real quick to get an overall view of circomstances. So when 1 player cheats, but you spec him only a second, it's hard to notice his cheat. Sure, if you suspect him you will spec him a little longer. As we know now, his team DID notice the cheating. But that was during the NC war. A little too late huh.. I'm sure that if the team would have known in advance, they wouldnt have let him play/cheat. Or is this the new way of going down when you know you are going to lose? 0_o

Greetz.
Parent
Forfeit loss for the matches and lifetime ban for the retard. this is pretty harsh for team ireland though.
In case of a NC match is kinda hard to blame the team, as NC is more of a mix then anything else. Let ireland replay the matches it didnt lose and ban Allu for a lifetime.
Ban for player, forfeit loss in the matches he played. imo
forfeit loss from the games he played, but not dropping out of cup..

but team shouldn't be punished if the hax isn't detectable when speccing the one
Everyone on ETTV realised he was cheating so it's more than likely some of his team mates did.
Parent
they said to him on comms during the game they noticed ;x
Parent
Then they should have kicked him right there and then :/
Parent
and what difference would that of made if we had of kicked him there and then? None what so ever. Afaik he didnt use it in the other matches anyway, but as he said to someone in irc "He wanted to leave ET in style" so he really didnt give a shit if we got kicked out or not so dont really see why we should be punished.
Parent
I didn't talk about Allu but in general, sry if I didn't make myself clear

eg. If someone uses rivatuner, it's not clearly detectable and then the team shouldn't be punished
Parent
Remove the team - it's too general.

"Ignorance aint an excuse"
Giving the team forfeit losses for all the games that they played is like removing them from the cup.

Imo its good that they removed the the whole team. Maybe they didnt know about him but he was part of that team and it was giving an advantage to the whole team not just himself.
Not really much of an advantage they still lost all of there games, and him getting owned by the BE players even though he was hacking is just quality :D
Parent
they where prolly having a laugh with him on vent
Parent
Skydeh has it recorded if u rly wanna hear us "havin a laugh" -.- twat.
Parent
Aye, post it
Parent
I think its better that whole team is punnished.
Because after this every team will be more careful and they will tell adming if they have player who cheats. That will make harder for cheaters to cheat.
lifetime ban for allu cause it was in a NC match

u still are responsible for your players and u have to know the people in your team alltho its difficult to notice that if they cheat so atleast forfait matches Ireland and imo remove from cup alltho it doesnt matter that much cause they wont proceed; so imo who cares if they play last 2 matches :)
I didn't saw allu playing but if it was so obvious that he was cheating , why didn't his teammates saw it before in pracs etc that he is a cheater :s
There was no pracs.. only 1 before game so plz.
Parent
u cant know if the players knew about him...
so none of allu's teammates noticed something is wierd about him? c'mon aimbot isn't that hard to notice... i am pretty sure at least some ppl in team ireland noticed, but most likely didn't say anything... this is why the whole team deserves to be kicked out of the cup.

on other hand if they had noticed and they had kicked him out themselves and if they had contacted CB with information on their teammate, then i if was clanbase i would consider strongly to punish only the infringement of the individual.. and keep the team in the cup.. but this was not the case here.
He only used it in the official match on ETTV, he didn't use it while playing with them before. It's not like it's hard to notice.

at the end of the movie 1 ie player says "rofl @ that allu" so atleast 1 player noticed it...
Parent
not gonna reply to all the naab comments but, again apple says in the demo "allu u hacker" or something like that and skydeh has it vent recorded to afaik, so WE can say we didnt no about it cause we didnt
Parent
Although I voted that the team shouldn't get punished so harshly, I still think CB made a good decision in the Allu case. I rather want sever punishment than no. ;)
The team should only be held responsible if their busted teammate actually cheated before and the team could have noticed it beforehand. In the Allu case, they couldn't have known as he didn't use it while playing with them before. Same goes for the razz case tbh.
so u tell me u didnt know allu was cheating?

=)

I dont say ireland should be removed, but mostly everone in this scene knew allu was cheating way back.. included irish guys imo..

as we all know some others are cheating aswell..

Allu gets banned, while others are doing way more "strange" things on ETTV allmost daily... if this avi was of one of the others "accused".. would he get banned?
Parent
If the clan had known about the cheater, then lifetime ban for every player in the clan, if not only individual should get punished.
The team should be punished as well, but forfeit losses should suffice. If the team is not punished at all, clans might not hesitate accepting cheaters in their team.
But in this case, NC teams are rather like a mixed team, so the punishment shouldn't be that harsh.
allu is disgrace hes made his team look like fools, ban for life imo and a left jab for tryin to be a hero
ban retard permanently, and forfeit all team matches where retard played
he was so blatantly hacking that the irish team should have kicked him and replaced him during the match or play it 5v6
they didnt and played with a cheater knowing he was hacking
so they supported him hacking in some way
i agree with cb decision regarding the team but would have banned allu for lifetime
Ban allu for life won't change anything according to his guid spoofer :) He must be playing under some random fakes and guid atm
Parent
only ban the player imo
it is like football, if you do something wrong the team has to blame. Gaming is like sports so !
The clan is responsible for its members, so its the same for nationscup teams i guess.
it wasnt so hard to bust allu for using an aimbot at ettv
was it too difficult to see by other team members during normal games ?

the clan should take responsibility now but not so harsh like the one who was cheating.
we only played together in the offi's..
Parent
imo just the person who haxx..
LOL @ allu
the more the merrier, let s blame not only the clan but also their friends and family and lets BAN all the players from the same country as the cheater, if they are from the same nation THEY HAD SOME RESPONSABILITY !!!!!
lol how some1 can be so ''perfidny" and play with aimbot in national team. Im shocked :O
it might be unfair if you punish the whole team for having a cheater, but its even more unfair to the team that lost to the cheater. So forfeit for the cheaterteam, but they can play on.
Everyone should be punished for that!
I was shocked to read the news of the Irish team and a player cheating, I didn't see the match nor have i seen any footage of it, but all i can say is he's an assh**e.

Not only did he make a fool of himself, but he made a laughing stock of his team mates for doing it.

The Irish soccer fans are well known for party'ing before,during and after a match no mater win, lose or draw, but no party would have been held for this kind of behaviour.

I will agree if the team realised during the match he was cheating then they should have kicked him, no matter what time it was into the game, even it was only noticed in the last minute, at least it would have shown they realised it.

btw hi Etnies long time since we chatted, was sorry to hear the news bud.
Well, I think you can't say what to do, you must know the awnser on the question: 'Did the rest of the team knew he was hacking?' It is hard to know anwser but if they knew, the whole team needs to be punished, if they didn't then only the hacking player should be punished.
imo a team has to win, loose and even punished as one... its a team game and the community have to learn that. if the leader choose a player, not only the first impression and skill should matter... no cheaters, no 2week squads... lets talk about teamspirit!
