When I was playing Phage Wars Live. 3 Guests came up to me and said "We will ban you for cheating." I didn't cheat at all. One of the "Moderators" said he is Strop. I asked "Strop" evidence to prove that he really is Strop, but he didn't. I can't tolerate this kind of behavior in Armor Games. B

Ignore them. I don't think the mods would go as guests on multiplayer games looking for cheaters.

But, whoever it is, they should stop this behavior. If this continues, people will be complaining about this.

There's nothing they can do about guests. They don't have a username, but if they do take screen shots of this and send it to support@armorgames.com. Surely people can get in trouble for impersonating mods.

I have never seen any employee play a multiplayer game in Armor Games. The only possible reason to go in as a guest is to check out what is the situation as a hidden person. There should be a great reason why Armor Games allowed guests.

How can you get guests into trouble? Do you mean the Admins will track down the Guest's real account? The guest I met earlier seems to know me very well.

No. I'm saying they can't do anything about guests. But if people with accounts are trying to impersonate mods then I think they could get in trouble if you have evidence.

The reason for them to allow guests to play games is actually pretty simple you know... people who are allowed to get a (sort of) glimpse of a game, are far more likely to take a membership at a website to start competing with others, copared to those that have to sign up in order to play a game!

I don't think it is completely possible to easily track down a person's IP address when playing as a guest, maybe it is though, I don't know... but if that particular person seems to know you very well, don't you think it might simply be a friend of yours here on ArmorGames? Or maybe even a brother or other related family in real life? Ever considered that?

I know it is not a family because I don't have any playing this. And I do have some enemies that knows I'm back. Could be some haters that hate me.

Does it matter who it is? Obviously, it isn't a mod, since mods aren't complete idiots (only slightly insane, but that is a work hazard), it's obviously not someone with a slight bit of intelligence, because who the heck would pretend to be Strop, if they wanted to be taken seriously. So, ignore them.

Another reason is some people were already banned, or underaged to create an account. So they need to play as guests. If we take off the guest accounts, chances are we will have more underaged children grammatically incorrect with their texting "lingo" spamming the forums and our beloved homes. (The Abouts).

i wouldn't report it to an admin or anything. they wouldn't waste their time. really just ignore it. don't make a big deal about it either cause they will just be tempted to misbehave more often.

To add to that... it's indeed a clear case out of the 'bully's text book' here.

Respond to a hateful / hurtful / flaming comment and they get what they want: attention...

Just ignore them and they will wither and die, like weeds among flowers! =)
