Anti-faking suggestion
Hi again,
I'm still worked up… as a long time Jagged Alliance and Fallout super fan I really don't want to leave the game. And as an award winning game designer and owner of a fair sized gaming company myself, I offer a few suggestions against faking for your consideration ;D:

More severe punishment:
All faking once confirmed should be permanent IMO. I understand that there are quite few players in Gunrox but I think that's partly due to the amount of cheating present in this game. So would you like to lose a faker, or a decent player? With the referral program, you are actually promoting players to start a new account, so I doubt at lower levels a permanent ban will make the faker leave Gunrox forever anyway.
Faker flag:
There are the deserter flags, would you consider a Faker flag. It could be removed using encored, or play a number of games without quitting.
Honor flag:
The world of Gunrox is full of hate and distrust, it's a very harsh environment for most casual players. I felt very good when one time (and only that one time) a player defeated me, and afterwards gave me some of my gear back and congratulated me on a hard fight. I have been doing the same ever sine, giving back gear whenever I can and never mocked the loser. Perhaps you could give each player a single ticket of honor to vote for another player, and every ten ticket give you some encored or useful rare equipment… or maybe just a Honorable flag at the player info screen?
Paid manual balanced games:
Make auto balance the only option in the game arrangement screen, and manual balance requiring a 5 encored ticket or so. It will at least force fakers to pay and make them think more about what they will lose when they do get caught and banned.
Always respond to a report, and moderation should be 24-7:
Yeah when you don't respond it makes me feel like a crying baby and a wuss.. Should be your job to make customers feeling good 😉.

Thanks for your time,
Mr_Shadow

Moderator is voulonteer position, they are not getting paid for that. Thus they can't be on 24/7, plus they might be playing the game and having fun too. We are just a small company, we can't afford having 24/7 paid moderators, so sorry.
All you need is to be a bit more careful yourself and you wont get into trouble. Just don't play team games with people you don't know until you reach higher level and will have some friends or people you know are honorable and trustworthy.

Perhaps that is why you remain a small company? I think at peak times there are only about a thousand players online?
Would you be interested in licensing the game engine for a make over? With some more polish, a completely different art direction, and promotions, this game would get a much bigger appeal and audience.
