**This first post has been editted. I have added my theory of how people cheat and what can be done against it at the bottom of the post**
I am not sure if this thread will be successful, or have any impact whatsoever.
However, something needs to be done, and as the most active and passionate PES community, we shall start to compile a list of online cheaters and hopefully forward this list to Jon Murphy of Konami, who apparently wrote somewhere that Konami are to take serious action against cheaters.
Please use the following format:
----------------------------------------------------
Platform: PC/PS3/Xbox 360 (delete as appropriate)
User name: xxx

I will try to update the list on this first post, so that we can see which users have multiple complaints filed against them.
Please, this is not a discussion thread, just a reporting thread.
The list so far:

THEORY OF CHEATING
Below is my theory on how people cheat, I cannot confirm if it is true.
It is only logical to assume that cheaters throttle their network inbound connection, either by massively uploading/downloading torrents or using software like netlimiter.
This way, it would seem as if the victim’s connection has dropped, even though it did not. The cheater only made it look like he did not receive information from the victim by not allowing him to send information through. The bandwidth was jammed.
SOLUTION
One simple and fair solution would be to execute the following algorithm immediately when disconnection occurs:
IF a game is ended due to disconnection
THEN, Konami Servers should check login status of both players, Player A and Player B.
The one who is not logged on, must have quit the game, and therefore loses 3-0 by default. (intentionally or not, does not matter)
ELSE (if both are still logged on with their Konami ID’s), Konami Servers should PING check both parties, Player A and Player B.
IF Player A’s ping is erratic and Player B’s is constant and low, then assume Player A’s connection has been tampered with (intentionally or not) and will lose 3-0. (and vice versa of course)
IF both players’ pings are erratic or both are still OK, THEN disregard the match.

Something like above could sort out this cheating business, of course assuming they cheat the way I described above.
