That laugh sure does look a lot like tears.
We don't require any free advertising... The issue as I see it is, the same as the EA BF2 issue currently, you guys have found something to be upset about, and you're riding with it, if EA ended dev on BF2 the same people who are crying would turn around and be upset it's no longer in development.
No one called anyone out, it was a simple statement to say if you are cheating, and using our tag, you'll be dealt with accordingly. You can read between as many lines as you want it won't change the statement.
We're not upset with people gaming using ourselves/forums/community to create their own, quite the opposite, we're happy about that, what were not happy about is people partaking in things like cheating that ruin the experience for all involved.
