The user is posting modded files to allow cheating in SWBF2 multiplayer. It would be great if we can all report the post, the user, and the download link on each of the sites he's posted the files on. One of the links has already been removed.
Thanks!
Edit by Anyder: There is no need to insult people...
I've reported but I doubt Valve Moderators will take any action :confused:
Friends and I have gotten people's threads deleted successfully in the past for little things such as spamming, and it didn't take long. I really think they will take this more serious.
In my reports, I make sure to mention that the game has few players and that cheats are not smart, so when moderators read that they will do something quickly and possibly more harsh.

Edit by Anyder: No pointless replies such as this one. Also dont post unless u have something constructive to say.
Well it got closed, I'm sure you'll all be pleased to hear ;)
I never even saw this post, but one of the reasons why I don't play EA-SWBF is because of the cheats that some people use and get away with it most of the time.
But, good job getting rid of the cheats that were released from that guy!

This was for SWBF2.
I also reported the first link, but the same user has uploaded the same files again here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/6060/discussions/0/359543542235654390/
The guy claims he'll "create my own little website and release there all well known not liked mods for swbf2(fake admin and much more) ... and of course on all well known Mod-Databases..." if his thread is deleted. I guess he's really desperate to ruin the online gameplay for this game. -_-
He does say "Do not use online." in that latest one, but it's better if its gotten rid of.
99% sure he intends for it to be used online however. The description was mostly copied from the first link.
He's also posted the mod on Moddb: http://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-battlefront-ii/addons/mos-eisley-mod

How do I report it on there?

There should be a "Report Content" button to the right of the screen, above the share buttons.

Found it, cheers!
It's a shame he feels the need to ruin the game for others, unfortunately it looks like he enjoys the attention so it will be hard to get rid of him.
It appears Steam has taken it down again, but I'm confident he'll be reuploading it soon.

Should we report his profile? He'll be forum banned that way.

I already have, but I don't believe they've banned him yet.
This kid is really getting my bloody nerves. If someone can track his IP, give it to me and I will use my paid vps to DOS him into oblivion
Best idea: The ones who are good at reverse engineering and stuff should look into a patch for the dedicated server that disables CP switching. It won't be too hard to distribute a patch, not as hard as trying to stop this cheat spamming mongoloid.

Bit harsh? :rofl:
But sometimes, people have to do the harsh ways to get others to stop. But sadly, that is the truth of the internet.

Haha I've seen worse. Some admins on Gmod tracked this guy's IP and found out details on where he lived, where he goes to school, his family members' full names, identity and much more and then leaked them onto the server as punishment for spending hours "trolling" members of the community. The poor kid was publically bullied throughout his time on the server after. DOSing is just the heads up :XD:
Although yes, it's a shame the internet has to be like this, but in some ways it's good.
Back on topic, I think you should see what actions Steam and moddb take before considering DDOS.

TheGangstar makes a good point. Steam might be able to handle it if it breaks their forum rules, he could get banned.

He will likely just make more, though it doesn't hurt to try...
