Why Stats Don't Prove You Are Or Are Not A Cheater

From PunksBusted

One common dialogue goes something like this:

Anti-cheater: You cheated!

Cheater: No I didn't! You can't prove it!

Anti-cheater: You were caught by PB for using a multihack.

Cheater: But look at my stats, they prove I wasn't cheating!

Erm, yes, of course.

The idea of PunkBuster and any similar anti-cheat system is not to let you carry on playing to such a point that your game/combat statistics show that you're "clearly" cheating (if there is such a thing with statistics).

If it can be done, then the cheater should be kicked and banned from the server before they've had the chance to ruin everybody else's game. The idea isn't to keep them in a server until they've increased their statistics and then boot them out.

Conclusion: Cheating doesn't automatically give you a 50:0 kill ratio.
