I can only see this becoming an bigger problem over time if not dealt with accordingly.
So, this thread is about hackers. Hackers who unfairly alter stats, IVs and movesets to be exact. I know a decent amount of us have come up against someone who has had at least one clearly stat altered Pokémon and it isn't fair. It's cheating, there's no other way of looking at it and it ruins the game for the majority of us who play fair.
So I think something needs to be done soon and I have a couple of suggestions.
First suggestion: Ban members who have been found to use hacked Pokémon from the Wireless Battle Stadium, but not banned from the forum as a whole. Could just be banned for a couple of weeks or a permanent ban, either way would work.
Second suggestion: Less strict, but less effective too. Have a stickied "Name them, Shame them" thread where people list the username and friend code of members they've battled who have used hacked Pokémon. It could serve as a kind of "Battle this person with caution" type thing.
Both suggestions aim to do the same thing; punish those who have already been caught cheating and discourage those who were contemplating throwing a sneaky hacked Pokémon into their team, hoping it'll go unnoticed.
Obviously, the first one would be much more effective at this.
Any thoughts, ideas, etc?
