This is the second person now who did this to me. When you win a game, they will stay 10+ mins in the game. When they do, you know they're probably bugging the rating.

When they exit the game, it's suddenly unrated even though the ladder is very clearly rated. I talked to this person further and he practically admitted to cheating (didn't admit but didn't deny and told me to fruit myself etc.)

I reported one such person before but there is no sense in reporting. I don't mean to hate on the mods here who do this for free but complaints take months to get viewed and in the best case scenario, the person gets banned which is irrelevant cause it's their 372nd smurf account.

All I can do is spread awareness of this glitch and hope someone can find the cause and possibly fix it. Attaching screenshot.

they don't bug it out, they just change their name ingame, like add some extra character "Khalifman" or "Khalifmen_" etc, and voobly can't recognize it

So he does that only if he loses and then changes his name? This is a known issue? Damn.
I recommend restricting voobly name changes to one per month. Boom, problem solved. This guy isn't a 1700+ player, he's like 1550. He plays like poopie and is a disgrace to the game. I thrashed him in classical 3 times but he prides himself on "having a high winrate". Imagine having this guy in the top 10 ladder.

It would do nothing. I have a complaint from may unanswered. It doesn't matter since by the time the issue is addressed, the guy will be 30 smurfs away.
Better would be to solve the problem. If what the guy above says is true, then just restricting name changes to one per month would be enough.

Voobly has the tools to track smurfs, just report it. Not reporting it results in nothing happening.

He is changing his name in the LAN screen, not on Voobly. Its a flaw in the lobby system voobly has for AOM/AOT and could be fixed if Voobly wanted to...

I think he does it before hand, I'm not sure it works after. At least the old way of doing so was like that. But there might be another way to do it. Or he does something else. I am aware of a few other tricks.

I currently have an issue with the voobly forum, so I can't resolve complaints currently. Hope that will be fixed soon.

He stays in every game for 10+ minutes after the game ends, even if he asks for a rematch.

That, to me, would imply that he's doing it after the game but you never know.

He's been warned for this before, and so his account was locked now since he continues. Thanks for this report (and other's), as that is the only way to track these things. It's what's been mentioned here when you look at rec.

And sorry everyone the reports are taking time to resolve, but do please post them, it helps especially in tracking down some ambiguous cases or painting a pattern to see how severe the intentions of people are. In some serious cases it's usually faster.
