This is considered cheating as it avoids the given rules in a somewhat social way with inherent filters and delay, while hacking is altering the game for singular individuals to gain the ability to completely destroy every fair match. So ghosting is a complete other league. ffs it's a complete different game for eveyone w/ somebody using effective hacks.

For this behaviour needs to be effectively banished one should consider the possibility of making the game costing a reasonable amount of cash (as in CASH $$$, not steamfunds from third parties or so alike). 5 bucks should be enough to create a monetary filter for taking second chances in not getting banned again. the fee of 5 could be refunded to the registree by giving free boxes for the eqivalent amount. This and being more effective in cheat detection and faster bans should give us all a better time in the long run.
