There's been many heated debates about how they ban people on the Alaplaya forums for a while now because a lot of people are all pissed off at the Godmoders and Speed hackers (aka Obvious hackers) for just being able to make new accounts and do it all over again.
Now I personally agree that if you're caught hacking it should be an immediate IP+Mac ban along with the account, though both of those are easy to change. The majority of the people who are caught hacking are caught purely because they are leecher noobs, and aren't smart enough to know how to hack undectected and have fun with it. No, they run around scoring 10 times at x5 speed and invincible.
Let me make it clear to fend off the flamers that I don't have a problem with hacking, as I myself do it too. But there's a difference in my opinion between hacking, and screaming at the entire room to ban you. It's these kind of people that draw more attention to the smart ones who just tweak the odds, instead of dominating everything just because they can. I myself hack because it's fun, and it brings my Dmg and defense up to par with all the cash shoppers, but it just fails so hard when you're in a TD room having fun, and someone comes in and just ruins that by killing everyone and basically running the rest of the game.
I'm sure there's plenty of you out there who know what I'm talking about. Even though you're both hackers, you just become instantly angry with the person who just comes out and ruins the entire game with the overuse of hacking in plain sight.
