I'm banned for 7 days, why?????? There'is no reason for that, and while that, paople who I did report, never get ban, you guys ban us e inven explain why especifly!!
Oh I did make one account strictly to play 4 player games. I am a 5-6 player game player. But I got curious about how to win a 4 player game so I made a new account and practiced and then... grandmaster lol Seriously, once you get up to those ranks you're usually fighting for like 10 rank points with a full win or losing 500-1000 with one loss. Even coming in 2nd place completely destroys you. That just isn't fair. We need a way to match up to competitive players. And novices are the worst. They do the stupidest things that hand the game to whatever lucky person happens to be after them. urgh.
Nice to see that they're punishing people for potentially playing with teammates. I wish They'd come up with a league style where the settings are always the same and the matches are randomized. Then, nobody could try to team up because they can just use algorithms to keep people from playing each other who have played together already.
There is the option to create a list of friends - but is there an option to create a list of enemies - i.e. people (especially cheaters) you DON'T want to play with. The list of available games could therefore not show games containing any person on your enemy list. I appreciate they could join the game after you - but if that happens you could provide the ability to leave the game before it starts by alerting you to the fact that an enemy has joined - do you want to continue.
I also think SMG should send a message to the player if they do catch you cheating. It might have more significance in making sure they won't do it again. "Your rank has been reset due to cheating. One more offense and you will be banned forever."
you know what would be cool? If they access the device's camera and take photos of you or show live video during the game. It'd give me a lot of confidence in knowing at least it's not the same guy using two suspicious players. But you wouldn't want to see me. I'm usually naked in my hot tub when I play haha.

I have had either two or three 24 hour bans... all bogus. Cheating is a real problem in Risk but monitoring and regulating cheating is an even bigger problem.
No. They will not correct anything ASAP. Feel fortunate if you get a response.
I deleted all my friends in Risk just so I would not be accused of cheating... and yet.. another 24 hour ban.
Like you, I am huge on fairness and simply don't get why anyone would want to cheat? I mean what do you really gain? Is it worth selling yourself out to win at Risk? I don't get it. I feel for you m friend. But if you think you are going to get an adequate reply or be treated differently in the future... you are fooling yourself!
why is it ok for someone to start posting hurry up hurry up as soon as i start my turn but because i stall to make him stop i get suspended thats bs

Update: Please note that this is an old version of our Fair Play Rules. To view our most recent version, please visit this page: https://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/11000090958-fair-play-rules
Fair Play Rules
To clear up any confusion in the community on what constitutes cheating we have the following Fair Play Rules.
Hacking the game, in any way, is (considered) cheating.
Using multiple accounts in the same game (to gain an advantage over other players) is (considered) cheating.
Playing with someone you know in Global Domination is cheating.
Abusing a bug or glitch or knowingly encouraging abuse of these is cheating.
Creating a negative experience for other players, by actions such as spamming excessively, refusing to end games, intentionally disrupting gameplay, delaying gameplay (stalling), or abusing our reconnection system intentionally, is cheating.
Don't play with anyone you know or have external communication with in Global Domination. Use Play Friends or risk a ban!
If you wish to play with people you know please use the Play with Friends mode. If you still wish to play with friends against real opponents, this must still be done via Play Friends. Please use the RISK Community's #looking_for_game feature at https://discord.gg/risk
What happens when a player is reported for any of the above?
The following action will be taken if they are found to have broken these rules;
If the player was (found) hacking, they will be banned from RISK entirely.
Although we try to warn new players who might not be aware of the rules, such a warning is not guaranteed. You might be banned by automatic or semiautomatic systems before receiving such warning.
Should a player be banned - Their leaderboard position and rank points are completely removed. All games they have participated in for the current season, will have game results re-ordered so that they are placed last. All of their opponents will see this minor bonus.
FAQ
Q: How do I report a player?
A: Report in-app by clicking on their avatar and clicking on the red triangle icon under their name in the Alliance Window. If you come across any suspected hacking - Create a support ticket at http://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new with the names of the players.
Q: Why can't I team up with my friends in Global Domination?
A: We take a "act as you would like to be acted towards" approach here. It is unfair to team up against unsuspecting player who believe they are entering a fair “free for all” game. The ranking system is designed for “free for all” gameplay, not teams.
Q: Will you be adding a team mode in the future?
A: Yes it’s our goal to release a team mode that allows you to play with friends or random allies against another team. No ETA on this currently, but you can find information here http://smgstudio.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/11000009600 .
Q: Will more be done to prevent cheating?
A: Yes, we are currently rolling out a full suite of anti cheating features. Some have already been implemented and it’s logging play now.
Q: What is the difference between forming alliances with stranger and forming one with friends?
A: There is a difference between: the informal, temporary alliances forged and broken throughout the game (which, with all its betrayal, is an integral part of RISK) and starting a game with a friend or relative as well as strangers in there. This is intentional ganking and will not be tolerated. If you just want to play for the fun of it with your friends, start a "Play with Friends" game against AI opponents.
