Okay, I am thouroughly confused for no good reason. Either Firefox and his supporters are completely mistaken identifying circumstantial incidents due to known limitations of the system to deliberate cheating OR there exists a cheat.
Now some/many of us are smart, intellectual types and we should be able to figure this out. Let's do it openly using the scientific method instead of whining about conspiriacies and "secret hacks."
I for one think that if anyone thinks they KNOW what the cheat is they should identify and accurately describe it so that it can be idependently confirmed and eventually squashed.
There are several good reasons for this.
1) If HTC has not completely duplicated/identified the problem they need to be able to.
2) It will make clear to all the players that this is a problem and help all of us identify it when it occurs. Sure, some idiots will start to or continue to use the cheat. But, then they will be exposed as the dirty little cheaters they are and can be hounded out of the arena by collective vulching and possibly by HTC.
HT/Pyro, if you do not want to be open regarding, "yes, if you do X and Y then Z happens" then you should at least confirm or deny that there is a "cheat" and that you are working to fix it or that it is systemic, i.e. due to net lag and/or other factors beyond your immediate control.
We need more openness, not less. I guess this goes for HTC as well as the world in general.
At least that way we will know that Firefox and his supporters are for real, and not raving lunatic whiners.

This is either a silly, boring, wasteful debate or an issue of genuine concern. Which is it?
