Identifying busted players

I've just had the irritating experience of being beaten by a couple of multis. When I reported my suspicion, I found that they had been busted weeks ago, but of course they still have games up. It would be nice if there was some kind of visual indicator so we could see when one or more players in a game had been busted. It would also be good if they weren't able to take points from the non-cheating players.

What do other members think?

That sounds like a good idea. Some kind of marker before their name and after their rank. Or maybe replace their rank with a skull or something?

If players have been busted (or are on a forum ban), they show up as a Guest in their Usergroups menu instead of Registered User. Multis who buy-back on an account do not show any guilty marks.

that is a whole lot of work to go through to see who is and isn't busted. a big visual indicator on their rank or something in place of their rank would be easier. often times, i'll have 30-50 games going (not now, thankfully), and i can't imagine doing what you suggest to see who has been busted, etc... anyway, i think this should move to suggs and bugs where it can be fleshed out. the OP has a pretty good idea that i've heard before...-0

Yes, as The Scarlett Letter pointed out so many years ago, the best solution is always to brand people.
