That is good news...I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am because it hasn't occurred to me to try and cheat at this game in anyway...

EDIT:

And in just the last 5 hours or so, the number has dropped to 131. So in case you were thinking about cheating, don't do it late at night US time, cause they'll ban you first thing in the morning!

Well just look at the poll results and you get the answer ;P

Surprisely, no one wrote the most voted alternative.

"Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not so sure about the first."

I'm not surprised with the bans...

If that many get caught I wonder how many get away with it? How fun is winning and success when you know it isnt truly earned? I suppose if you cheat to get ahead then winning isnt your primary goal. To look important to a bunch of strangers? Heck, I dont know

Cheating is rampant on a societal level. At least in America. But aside from that...

Well there's only 1 online game I used to play (won't mention it). A really fun game & successful in other countries. However in America it's the opposite for some reason. By far the worst "community" I've ever seen. No exaggeration. Calling them a virtual cesspool would be kind. Anyway, about 80% of people that play ended up hacking. (As there's a weak hackshield but zero consequence to getting caught). & underneath all the constant lame insults & childish behavior, is an underlying theme of "e-gangstas" saying something like: "you [expletive] noob, you [expletive] suck. Go uninstall the game & kill yourself because you fail at life. suck my [expletive] [expletive]." Throw in a bunch of racism & whatnot. & keep in mind they're sadly being dead serious (not saying it in an ironic way). All over a basically a cartoon game.

Virtually all of them, besides being immature, are simply bitter, angry people with extremely low self-esteem / feeling of inadequacy. So yeah, in a way looking important to strangers plays a role. Needing to prove "I'm better than you" & even making up fake life stories. The amount of time & effort put into cheating is astounding as well. If only they'd apply that to their real lives...

I suppose you could take this further & say that in today's world substance doesn't even matter, only appearance does. But that would start getting on even more of a tangent.

Funny, I thought I banned about 500 managers just yesterday... all Americans, where cheating is rampant on a societa... Hey, I've been brainwashed!

I think a cheating team will get caught soon or later. Especially if they get too high in world ranking or country ranking.

I'm pretty sure about everyone in my country (or, at very least, my opponents) have checked my transfers when I became champion last season. Also, I'm doing the same now that another team is taking my place. And if anything is suspected, it is reported to local GM, which, in turn, will check in depth. I guess you get the point.
