Cheating and accusations around cheating

Hey there everyone,
The topic of cheating in the game has gone unaddressed by me for too long, so I'm jumping in now. The behavior that many of you have seen and have called "cheating" is actually two separate things:
1.) Users spending (a lot) of money. There are a fair number of users who spend money on the game, which is not cheating by any means. I can't discuss details of how much users are spending and such, but just know that there are plenty of users who are using legitimate channels to put together their teams.
2.) Users cheating/exploiting/hacking/scripting/etc. There are some users who are cheating, plain and simple. As I have stated before, this is something we take VERY seriously. However, there is a serious complication to this, which is that we don't want to punish users who have worked hard to put together teams without ever doing anything wrong. In the coming days and weeks, we are going to be rolling out new cheater detection systems, which will be bringing down punishment for those who are caught.
I know my silence on the issue has been interpreted to mean that the dev team doesn't care about this cheating issue. On the contrary, the team has been working hard to come up with solutions that will punish those who deserve it, and won't falsely catch the innocent.
I'm going to leave this thread open if anyone has questions/comments/etc., but if it devolves into name-calling and accusations, I'll be closing it down and punishing those involved.

Smdh. Will I be awarded 6k gold from gold leagues??? No.
Currently, I do not believe there are any plans to do this. But I can pass this along to the dev team and see what they think!
1. How fast will this new anticheat system be online?
2. Will it cover all the users including android and ios?(I don't believe something like cheater are using android but not using iphone)
I'm all prime but apparently a 4-5*team can destroy me
I don't see anything wrong with it. He's my kid I would support him in everything he does unless I find out he's cheating. Which in that case his phone privileges will be taken away. He also is not allowed to chat on AOL Messenger, a lot of creepers in the internet.
Did you not read Mr.Redtrunk's original post? Accusations and finger pointing will result in punishments. I will not sit here and allow you to accuse my kid of cheating when you don't even know him. Straight A student, Perfect attendance, cub scout, and devoted Catholic. I'm simply stating how he has built his team. No reason to jump to cheating allegations, all gamer lives matter. Now if you will excuse me, my cat took a dump in our shower this morning and I have to go clean it up.
Def a cheater my man. 4-5 opens for a legend? At 2k a pop? so... thats 8-10k (not realistic, but I'll play along) for one, and if he gets 4, well, now your at 40k( $400) (again, not realistic). So, either a) you're funding your kid or b) he's cheating. I applaud his efforts though. Its not every day you see a kid with enough gumption to root a device and play around with code to better his video game experience. Keep up them grades son, you will hopefully soon be working for a company like Glu where your talents are sorely needed!
If you think players back in the "golden ages" didn't use PEDs, then I suggest you look up the history of steroids. They've been around for a VERY long time - and yes, all because our US government funding them for our olympic team to beat the Russians.
So he could rob a bank, rape someone, or even commit homicide and you'd support him all the way through? But oh boy if he cheats on a video game, he better watch his back because papa is coming for him.
You try to make your posts funny but it just makes us all cringe.
Surprised to see you continuing to comment on THIS post!! LOL
Hi Kind sir, actually he's 36.
