I think it's fine. Anybody that I see for sure cheat I will call out, in public. It's not like I'm trying to figure out who they really are, but I don't think saying "Avoid x, y, and z players if you can" is bad at all. Or posting a video of what they did.

How does it have any benefit to the community whatsoever?

Are you honestly going to maintain a list of gamertags and reference it every time you use LFG to make sure you don't join naughty people?

I don't use LFG, so not an issue. It benefits the community by letting people see what true cheating looks like vs lag. It might also help the community by having the video seen by someone with the ability to do something about it.

Are you going to be able to do anything at all if you're matched against them in Crucible?

I would set them to an Avoided Player through Xbox Live and let it do the rest.

No. It is of no useful value to you. Furthermore, broadcasting that information does not result in any punishment. Directing it to the appropriate place--Bungie Help--can.

It does not ever result in punishment? Really now?

Meanwhile, people that are innocent can be harassed by posts that state as fact perceived (but not actual) cheating or outright lies.

I wouldn't frame the video that way. I would do something more like: "This looks really odd to me, this guy taking no rocket launcher damage multiple times in ToO. I used in game and in console tools to report him for cheating. What does it look like to the rest of you?

In other words, I just played a game with Ragashingo and after doing PoE for like 4 hours we finally killed the last boss and he booted me so he could invite his friend to open the chest. I have a video, I'll upload it if anyone wants.

???

I thought we were talking about someone who did have an actual video to back up their words. I'm not going to just throw out gamer tags with absolutely no proof. I'm not going to make up stores about someone. That's just dumb and dishonest, two things I am not. I will however name people who I think might have been cheating. I have in fact done so in the past and will continue to do so, and if I had video capability I'd use that too.
