Ban wave

Hello Kabam,
I heard there us a new ban wave concerning alliances that cheated during this war season !
Well it’s great that you keep this game safe from cheaters by banning them, but what about alliances victims of those cheaters ?
What about the leaderboard ?
We, honest alliances, are still victims of the cheaters as their alliances still keep their places in the top of the leaderboard !
Take away the points gain while cheating and apply them a malus on the leaderboard and make it be known so everyone will know the consequences of cheating !

The forums is not a place to discuss the matters of actions taken against players or alliances. Therefore, we will have to close this thread. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact support by using the in-game link.
Do you just add the 50k win bonus or are you suggesting they should get maximum points even if they didn't complete the map?
Also how do you want that to affect the rest of the season multipliers they got? Compensate them there but how they would've fought different wars. Thus adjusting every war after the war they lost to cheater.
The only way to remedy this in a way that doesn't create new victims that I can think of is with a special post-season correction mechanism. What you do is calculate everyone's season rewards at the end of the season. Then freeze their brackets. Every alliance that doesn't cheat and did not face a cheater is now guaranteed to get *at least* the rewards they currently place for. Now look at every cheating alliance and penalize them. If this drops them to a lower bracket, their rewards go down. If this bumps an alliance upward into a higher bracket, their rewards go up to the new bracket, even if that means there are more alliances in that bracket than normal. Now award compensation points to every alliance that faced them and lost. If this raises them to a higher bracket their rewards go up. Everyone else remains the same, again even if these adjustments alter the cutoffs for the various brackets.
I'd support this, because no innocent bystanders get penalized during cheating corrections. Everyone gets the rewards they would have gotten if there was no cheating or better to a first order approximation (you can't literally know how an entire season would go if cheating was eliminated, that would require a time machine). But I wouldn't hand points to cheaters without this mechanism, because it could cause other alliances to lose rewards that had nothing to do with cheating. I wouldn't trade the one for the other.
If that not something people think is worth doing or needs to be done, then that whole point is basically moot.
If you have a way to convince such an alliance they are not a victim of your anti-cheating adjustment, be my guest and give it a shot.
Reset all allainces with a cheater war rating to zero
No season rewards for the season
Take back all win rewards from allaince members who benefitted from a cheater
Do we have the details on how they actually cheat? At least we have the comfort that such issues can be addressed going forward, rather just implementing bans at the end of the season where so many people have already been affected.
Last season we faced 4 alliances that were just docked.....should have happened sooner data was available for months.
How on earth does that make sense to you?
