How does battle.net detect map hacks? Is it by word of mouth, or do they check the registry while one is logged one?

Actually, they monitor it in number of ways, including watching popular D2 forums. Sorry to be the one to tell you, but you're now on "the list." They won't actively "tag" you, but they WILL be actively watching all activity tied to your account. I'd be very, very careful to avoid using maphack (or any 3rd party program, for that matter) for AT LEAST a month.

*Scratches my head*
If they monitor forums, how come there are blatent posters on the battle.net trade forums who admit to using bots that continue to post/have same account. I've read at least three posts in one day that joke about how they got their enormous trade list, and joked about how much bots can help.
Blizzard is an enigma. Or just lazy. :P

Thanks, I don't use a map hack or want to use a map hack, I was just curious because so many of the people I have been in the same game as were obviously using them. I do think cheating is cheap and it takes the fun out of a game. It's pointless if your like a god and can do what ever it is you want.

But wait, how does Blizzard link my forum name to my battlenet account?
Oh wait, they're the same...
>_<
;P

Also, there was this one char who was a lvl 15 barbarian who could use whorlwind and had armour that you wouldn't be able to use unless you were ? lvl 30-sometihng. It's pretty bad when they make char-hacks that work on battle.net.

I am thinking that the whole 'Blizz scans forums' concept is rather far fetched... Where did you hear about this?
map hack detection - gekko - 07-31-2004
I heard it from a friend with an eye for humour, an ear for wit, a passion for sarcasm, and a big fat gut full of the blatantly obvious.

You sir, are officially challenged to a duel.

I don't believe in duels. They're childish, immature, and accomplish no--
*poke*
Got you! Muahahah!

That's rather hypocritical.
So were you joking about Blizzard searching LL for MHers?
map hack detection - gekko - 07-31-2004
No. I was absolutely, positively, 100% serious. On a completely unrelated note, I also have a bridge to sell you.

It's hard to detect sarcasm over tar intarweb. If people could add a little thingie that says that they are serious or not at the bottom of their post, that would be really helpful.]
What do you mean you have a bridge to sell me? :huh:
map hack detection - Munkay - 07-31-2004
Although I agree that its sometimes hard to detect sarcasm, Unreal you get the award for missing the subtleties of online conversation.
Don't despair, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
Or you'll spend your life broke, on the streets, wondering where the bridge is that Gekko sold you for you last penny.
:lol:

Absolutely. Gekko giggles like a schoolgirl in free time and prefers contradictions within the same sentence- Obviously an average b.net lamer, although prostegious enough to sell bridges. Of being of such calibur, Gekko has shown constant contempt for us more civilized mannered lurkers as shown by his dancing banana avatar. A dancing banana has numerous implications and one of them is to obviously corrupt the minds of the youth! Mind you it offends me, and I'll be suing Gekko for a bridge. Why buy a bridge when you can sue for one in a frivilous lawsuit instead? :)
On the other hand, I sell bridges too and will pwnzor anything Gekko has to offer.

Forget them, you can find good bridges just by mf'ing. I found a mile long suspension just the other day.

The 'dancing bannana' is the bannana from 'peanut butter jelly time'.
map hack detection - Munkay - 07-31-2004
I remember having a copy of the dancing banana on my computer 4-5 years ago. I think this is pre-pbjt video.
