I guess I was tired of constantly being told it's my imagination, that such things can't happen, that it's just lag. I mean....
look at the OP and the first several responses to his concern and questions. Doesn't it bother anyone else that such things can be dismissed so easily by senior members of the community?

I suggest you listen to the podcasts that were posted on the boards from the recent AH Con. HiTech explained that he gets your type of complaint a lot, and it is due to internet lag, not "cheating" or "cord yanking" as a lot of people surmise.

The cable jerking myth was dispelled many, many months ago.

I have a feeling this is going to be one myth that will be harder to dispell than even the "ram model" conspiracy theory.
Stop playing ostrich; just because you put your head in the sand doesn't mean it's going away. It's there, and something needs to be done rather than attacking the folks that try to illustrate what's going on with actual evidence of devices used in the world today.
And when folks mention it in 200 chat or post on the boards that it's going on...? Why do they get criticized so harshly by their peers? 99% of us are here enjoying the game and will continue to do so. Heck, I've been playing since there were films of P51's dropping Lancaster ordinance several years ago. Did keeping quiet about it fix it? Or did the community policing such things help track it down?
We still played and trusted the devs to do something about it. And they did!
I'm sure a fix will be in for this as well. And for the next thing that comes along down the road. Nature of the beast and all.

Thanks for at least acknowledging that such a thing is here, sir. Even though you dislike how I did it, perhaps now we can begin working on a solution.
