- Mods & Admins don't receive donations
- I have never experienced cheating in my 1600+ FAF games (aside from ecomod, but that doesn't make such a significant difference + you can download it yourself from the mod vault if you think it makes the game unplayably unfair)
- Most people (also players higher rated than you) think the balance is much better than in gpg + the controversial changes were introduced while zep was in charge (don't bring visionik into this. If you have a problem with recent balance changes I suggest you contact Zock)
- Desynced replays are not accurate (obviously). That is why you get a desync message in middle of the screen. Because the replay is desynced. It's unwatchable. This has always been the case, if you think you got what it takes to fix this problem then go ahead everything is open source (unlike when zep was in charge)
The world is not against you. Mods and admins aren't evil. There is no cheating conspiracy in FAF. Stop assuming that everything is wrong

Maybe you had t1 pd and he had t3...
Maybe your t3 units were titans and his t2 units were obsidians, need more details and not desynced replay...
Replays that stored locally on your pc have more chance to be not desynced
Also make sure you have played without sim mods and on map without scripts
Edit: Even if replay is desynced still show us, we can parse it and see if "cheating" was "on" or what mods were there and game version and map version.
Need less text and more info
^ These.
Anything about balance, there's an entire forum for it : viewforum.php?f=67
I would like to clarify that official maps aren't changed, they are all still in your original install. People have changed / made 3v3/4v4/etc versions of some of these maps, and that's not a problem. If you're playing a changed version of the map, then that's your prerogative to check.
If you do find any "cheating" players or cheating maps, then please tell a member of the moderator team. We need replay IDS.
Check your local copy of replays in your local drive /programdata/faforever/replays to see if that's desynced. If not, send it to the mod team.
Programdata is a hidden folder, though, so you need to enable hidden files and folders.
Any questions, pm the mod team
Locking this thread.
Edit:
What about establishing a credibility rating score in which 0 means a player not suspeted of cheating to as high as 10 meaning in which the player has been accused of cheating before? Why not the moderators/administrators make some kind of mechanism to curb the illegal use of mods and cheating that is so rampant in FAF? Why not? Is it because of fear of losing people? Is it because of fear that they will lose donations? Who knows? If the moderators/adminstrators are able to change the dynamics of Supreme Commander-Forged Alliance to the point they are on borderline copyright infringement then they can sure do something about the rampant cheating that is now become daily? Other servers whether they are coporate controlled, community controlled or fan controlled for many PC games no matter what genre of the game have some kind of mechanism to prevent cheaters from cheating on games. I don't see that here with FAF. Why is that? That is discouraging and sad now that cheating on games via FAF has become crazy epidemic.
-Cheating in this game is almost impossible. If a mod was active, or the game SETTING "cheating" is on, then that's your thing to check. The only ways to actually cheat.. are very difficult to do, and even harder to detect.
-Rating people by popular opinion will lead to witchhunts. People will downvote people they don't like, or are mad about losing too.
-Mods don't change the game. That's up to the balance team/Admin/Council.
-We're not infringing copyright
-We ban cheating.
