Cheating in online games is defined as the action of pretending to comply with the rules of the game, while secretly subverting them to gain an unfair advantage over an opponent. Depending on the game, different activities constitute cheating and it is either a matter of game policy or consensus opinion as to whether a particular activity is considered to be cheating.

Cheating reportedly exists in most multiplayer online games, but it is difficult to measure.

Closet - Cheaters who tries to hide up their cheat to a maximum level in order to not get called out from other people. Mostly they will only turn on a few features, such as only toggle up a little bit of aim-assist, or a high smooth value of legit aimbot, sometimes they will also toggle up airstrafe and auto bunnyhop.

Legit - Which is similar to a closet cheater, who tries to play like a normal player. However the difference with closet cheaters are they will turn on more features compared to closet cheaters, such as ESP.

Blatant - Cheaters who turns on features that other players will notice that the cheater is cheating such as triggerbot, esp, or somteimes rage aimbot. They will have a higher chance of getting banned

Rage - Cheaters will turn on most of the features that the cheat has available in order to win a match by any cost, such as Anti-Aim, rage aimbot, esp, etc. Mostly they will receive a ban in a day or in a week, depends on how long overwatch takes or the cheat gets detected by the anti-cheat software.

HvH - A short term for "Hack-versus-Hack". In these cases, the cheaters on both sides will load up their rage configuration in order to win the match. Mostly seen on non-prime level 2 accounts

Legit HvH - Simlar to HvH, but in this case, the cheater on both sides will only toggle their blatant configuration, since they don't want to have the risk of a ban (Despite the chances of getting banned on legit HvH are very high). Mostly seen on non-prime or prime MM

P / p100 - A term to represent something is very good, near perfection. For example, when a cheater typed "hitting p" in chat, this means his ragebot always hits the target, running nearly perfect. Or when some cheater says "p media", which means this is some excellent sources to be used in a video / photo etc...

Trashtalking - Mostly happens during a HvH or before a HvH match. In order to make another cheater become angry and may toggle his rage cheat configuration.
NN - Short term for "No-namer". Which stands for a cheater that nobody knows him. Mostly used as an insult to another cheater.
Big namer - Antonym of "no-namer"; a big namer is someone who is famous in the HvH community, which usually is someone good at HvH and posts media on different social media platforms regularly.
cya@media - similar as people "Hello youtube", which is use as to notify another player / cheat that he is going to be on public media.
uff ja - "Yes" in german. Just a expression used in the end of a sentence. Firstly used by root back in 2009 in CS:S days when he was trying to sell his cheat with the moto: "We can and we will, uff yaa $".
hhhh - Arabic slang means for "Ha Ha Ha", a representation of laughing.
laff - A HvH slang stands for laugh.
n1 - A HvH slang. Stands for "nice one".
who.ru - A HvH slang represents "who are you".

VAC stands for Valve Anti-Cheat, an automated system designed to detect cheats installed on users' computers. If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing that game on VAC-Secured servers in the future.

The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modifications to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.

What is the Overwatch?


The Overwatch lets the CS:GO community regulate itself by allowing qualified and experienced members of the community (‘investigators‘) to review reports of disruptive behavior, determine whether those reports are valid, and apply temporary bans if appropriate.

How does the Overwatch work?

Prospective Overwatch Investigators are presented with an active Overwatch button in the main menu, which indicates that there is a pending case for them to evaluate. The investigators can then choose to participate by watching a replay (eight rounds’ worth or roughly 10 minutes) and selecting a verdict.

If the investigators collectively agree that an offense has occurred, a ban will be issued. The ban duration will depend on the severity of the offense and the suspect’s history of convictions, if any.
