'''Cheating''' is a serious rule break in CIT.

It covers gaining an unfair advantage through external tools, unfair technical abuse, or other dishonest methods that are not part of normal gameplay.

== Overview ==

Cheating is described as an act of deception or dishonesty where one side gains an unfair advantage over another.

In CIT, this includes things such as:

* cheat software
* hacking
* network disruption software
* macro software

Cheating is heavily prohibited.

== What counts as cheating ==

Cheating includes the use of outside tools or methods that give unfair advantages.

Examples include:

* using cheat software
* hacking
* using network disruption software
* using macro software

These are not allowed in any normal gameplay situation.

== Cheating and exploiting ==

Cheating and exploiting are closely related, but they are not exactly the same.

`Cheating` is mainly about unfair outside tools or dishonest methods.

`Exploiting` is about abusing bugs, flaws, or game systems in ways they are not meant to be used.

Server-related bug abuse is also treated seriously, and exploiting server features in ways they are not meant to be used is punishable.

== Severity ==

Cheating is one of the most serious offences in CIT.

Reasonable punishments can be given for cheating, and in very clear cases it may result in:

* a heavy punishment
* an unappealable ban

This depends on how clear and strong the evidence is.

== Reporting suspected cheaters ==

If you suspect a player is using an aimbot, use:

<code>/aimbotsuspect <player></code>

This command is used to report a suspected aimbot user.

You can also report players on the forum through the `Complaints` board if you have proper evidence.

== Evidence for cheating reports ==

Cheating reports should have strong evidence.

Useful evidence can include:

* clear videos
* clear screenshots when appropriate
* proper [[damage]] and network information when relevant
* complaint details with time and explanation

If the case is about abnormal damage, lag abuse, or similar suspicious behaviour, strong video proof is much better than a weak screenshot.

For some combat-related suspicious cases, it is important to record useful extra information such as:

* <code>/debugplayerdamage</code>
* <code>/shownetstat</code>
* <code>/ping player</code>

If you are reporting someone in `LV` for abnormal damage, those details are especially important.

== Health bug and suspicious damage ==

Not every strange combat situation automatically proves cheating.

For example, if someone appears bugged or does not lose health, a screenshot alone is usually not enough to prove what happened.

A clear video is the better proof in those cases.

If a player realizes they are bugged and stops, that is different from knowingly continuing to abuse it.

== LV cheating and exploit notes ==

There are extra notes for `LV` complaints.

In `LV`:

* bind-related desync and bugs are not automatically counted as cheating
* if it is proven that the bug is related to an `MTA` flaw, such as a fake-jump exploit, it can still lead to punishment for cheating or exploiting

If you report an `LV` case:

* your video must not be recorded with <code>/uav</code>
* your video must clearly show the reported player
* your video must clearly show the relevant proof
* your video must clearly show the pings involved
* your video must show your own ping and FPS
* you must use <code>/debugplayerdamage</code> when reporting abnormal damage

== Forum complaints for cheating ==

If you report cheating on the forum, make sure your complaint includes:

* the correct complaint format
* the player's name
* the account name if known
* the time and date
* a detailed explanation
* proper evidence

Weak, edited, or unclear evidence can make a complaint invalid.

== Important notes ==

* Cheating is not limited to one specific hack.
* Cheat software, hacking, network disruption software, and macro software are all prohibited.
* Very clear cheating cases can lead to very severe punishments.
* <code>/aimbotsuspect <player></code> is the direct command for reporting a suspected aimbot user.
* Strong video proof is usually the best evidence in suspicious combat cases.
