For example, "Cheating" is defined by the Sony link as "Doing or utilizing anything that gives the player a greater advantage than is intended for normal game play". So, hypothetically speaking, someone who sets up a Warhawk server and stacks one side so that it has 10-12 players and then kicks any reasonable competition on the other side (leaving it with 2 or 3 players) would be cheating and subject to a possible ban. Alternatively, someone who, in the same circumstance, permits several players to switch to the same team so that they can outnumber the other team 10-12 to 2 and rack up uncontested points is cheating.  Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Of course that is just hypothetical.  I'm sure that anyone who would cheat in such a manner would not repeat his actions as soon as that ban is lifted, that would just be a dream, a fantasy if you will.  Of course the behavior would be modified to ban people, that he is afraid to play against despite having both numerical and base advantages, during intermission instead of in-game to avoid detection.  I would love to stay and chat but I've got to head to brunch.  Maybe Crystal will be there.
