To respond to a few things raised in the thread:

We don't mind feedback that includes concerns about cheating; but we do mind if it's referencing someone specific (for reasons provided elsewhere, witch hunts etc, it's just generally not a good idea) anything on this specific level should be sent to us directly everytime.

See your problem is that you naively believe that "innocent until proven guilty" applies to the online world, more specifically competitive games.

In online gaming, more specifically PoE, we don't have the faintest idea how many people are actually cheating, it could be a minority, it could be a 50/50 split, or it could even be a majority. We just don't know. (especially in the absence of any concrete negative consequences)

I don't see how "We just don't know" translates into it being okay to publicly accuse and defame either.

Presumption of Innocence should be more than just 'the majority are innocent'; it's the only way to produce measured and fair verdicts. Presumption of guilt is already a punishment in itself before any official verdict, so pretty much anyone who's accused ends up punished to some degree or another regardless of the investigation (which is shitty imo)

Now, what do you have to say about that?

I hope he does cheat, it would be pretty sad to think he worked hard to get as good as he is just to have this happen.
