Guys, do realize what we all have accomplished. This is the first time that IW steps up and actually deals with the hackfest that CODs were becoming on PC, and thanks to uMad, candy and myself, this would have never come together. I can safely say that the numbers of hackers were reduced at least by 75%, and while that is not by any means what it should be, we should still realize that it is a good step forward towards cleaning this game.

I do have to apologize, I haven't been online during the past month or so due to work and school (finishing my graduate degree at the moment) so I haven't paid much attention to MW3. Oh, and Steam decided to ban some of my privileges due to having an offensive name, so in terms of Steam privileges I am very limited at the moment. Funny that they'd rather ban someone with an offensive name than someone who hacks. Go figure. I will be back soon, though. Hence why I can't even post this myself.

@ Everyone
As you know things have changed hands in this group and yes I agree, I voiced my opinion directly with Candy today and we chatted for a bit about things....
Yes the ball has been dropped, there is no denying it. They aren't proceeding with bans FOR THE VERY SHORT moment. I guess I will be more specific then anyone else just because I can be and I don't care if I spoil some of the stuff but you need to know whats going on so that you don't think all is lost.
I voiced my opinion directly and I got some very good answers.
I have been with this since it started... 12 and I it seems were able to pull something together that I can take little credit for really because we just were able to network not really do too much since I didn't script the tool or work directly for IW, which would be amazing on both parts but C'est La Vie.
I was informed that they are actually going to be giving us a ban database, that we will be able to see who is banned and they are actually going to be redoing the tool so that it is faster and more effective then it already is.
I am not a fan of hackers and since the tool has been down there has been a lot more showing their faces around because they think that IW has given up. I totaly felt like they have won't lie.
But I reassure you that things are going to be fixed shortly, HATERS GOING TO HATE, we all know that. Everyone says IW should do this, steam should do that, VAC is failing blah blah blah.
But in all actuality this isn't there fault. IN ANY GAME OUT THERE, hackers now are running rampent. IN ANY GAME I play. We just need to tough this out for the next little bit but I promise that things are going to turn around.
Please be patient... I am NOT a patient person so I am saying this even to myself lol

I have been reading many comments on the IW Enforcers group wall and on Twitter suggesting that IW has given up supporting and policing MW3 on PC. This is simply not true.

We are currently working on improving the process for both reporting and banning players who abuse hacks/mods online.

We appreciate your patience and devotion. Stay tuned for more updates.

1) Group wall: use it only to report offenses. Include steam IDs and video proof. Do not use this space to argue or post unrelated comments. Those can be sent directly to any of the moderators.

2) Video evidence: this is the quickest, most efficient way. Paired up with a steam ID, it makes things easier for BanCandy to deal with the offenders. You can either upload the video evidence to youtube or a similar site by using Fraps, Xfire or other software to capture directly from the game or by recording afterwards on theater. You can also save clips of demos (or full demos) on your Vault space. This process will take longer because BC has to add you as a friend, go through your Vault and find the video.

3) Talking to the admins/mods: You can reach us via Steam, but, I am speaking for myself, my friend's list is almost full so you can probably find one of us under the IW Enforcer's group Steam Chat page.

4) Read the other announcements, especially the one about MWsaRT.

I will be clearing off the wall with stuff unrelated to reporting cheaters, as well as posts that do not show clear evidence (or any evidence at all), to make BanCandy's job easier. If you have any questions, refer directly to the mods in the group chat, we will try to be there as much as possible.

Hi,

I've (Xifon) been working with IW (Ban Candy) to develop a very easy way of reporting players. Previously you had to save the steam ID of a player, go to the theater, make a video of it, go through the very slow upload process (usually Youtube) and post it to a wall of a Steam group.

It's now easier to report players!

I'm announcing the MWsa Reporting tool, which allows you to quickly browse through saved matches in your theater (offline vault) and allows you to send them directly to Ban Candy.
