The wrong way of dealing with cheaters

Most people get very angry and annoyed at cheaters that they confront them or revealing publicly that they were cheaters. While this may work in some cases, in most cases, it is your words against thiers and it is up to the people to choose whom to believe. More than likely half of the people will believe you (the honest one) and the other half believe in the cheater (the dishonest one). If that were the case, then the cheater won because he or she cheated and got exactly the same thing (half the trust) that you, an honest person, got.

Don't be discouraged when you lose to cheaters because you did not really lose - they cheated.
