How to Find Game Cheats on Yahoo Games

Nobody likes cheaters, especially if you can't see them while they're doing it. One of the uneasy aspects of playing games online is that you usually don't know the individuals you're playing with. It's very important to keep your cyber-eyes open and be aware of potential cheaters when playing games on Yahoo Games. The administrators of Yahoo Games don't tolerate cheats, either. They welcome your help in finding them. Follow these steps to find out how you can.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Internet access
• Credit card for purchases
• Yahoo account

Instructions

Find Game Cheats on Yahoo Games

1. Visit the Yahoo home page to get started (see Resources below). Select the "Games" link to reach the Yahoo Games main page.

2. Click on "Games Help" if you suspect that you've found cheats in your public game room (see Resources below).

3. Report major cheats, especially if you're playing for money. Cheating takes away from the overall purpose of Yahoo Games. You're supposed to have fun!

4. Send an email or petition the league supervisor or tournament supervisor to make your complaint if you found someone cheating in a tournament or league play.

5. Ignore minor cheats. Block them from your circle of "friends" or avoid them when joining multi-player games. Make a list of the user names of anyone you suspect of being a cheater so remember who they are.

6. Post a generic message in the chat room of a particular game that asks other players if they've noticed the same activity you have, without using names. The possibility of getting caught might be enough to chase away the small-time cheater.

Tips & Warnings

• If you need help with games you've selected or if you want to report cheaters, access the "Games Help" page on Yahoo Games (see Resources below).

• Keep your personal information safe from those you suspect as cheats. If it's a minor infraction, Yahoo suggests that you ignore the individual and refrain from any games where you spot their moniker as a current player. If it's something that would be illegal because it involves money changing hands, report back directly to Yahoo for online public game rooms or with the league or tournament directors.

• Don't forget that Yahoo keeps track of its Web site visitors. Once you've become a registered Yahoo! user, they'll use your traffic patterns to solicit you for additional products and services.
