The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
If you're into online gaming hardcore style, and fancy getting your name on the top 10 rankings for any browser based game, don't bother.
Take Diablo II as an example. They have ladder tournaments, and this is how you get your name to number one spot:
1. Enter Tournament
2. Play whatever game you like on your console for a few weeks.
3. The night before the final standings are decided, hack into the mainframe and insert your name in the number one spot with a nice winning margin.
4. Failing this, hack into the game, and delete everyone's hard fought for stats.
Take Planetarion as an example:
1. Enter Tournament
2. Offer your services to the game's organisers as a member of their crew
2. Everybody with a higher score than you, freeze their gaming accounts, and move up another notch until you are number one.
Take Phantasy Star Online as an example:
1. Enter Tournament
2. Team up with your mates to bash everyone higher up than you in rank, nicking all their good weapons and armour.
3. If you've no mates, just hack your name onto the leaderboard.
Take Starcraft as an example:
1. Enter Tournament
2. Hack it
3. Enter your name in the number one position
Take Unreal Tournament as an example:
1. Enter Tournament
2. 'Modify' your character so that everytime he so much as looks at another player, that player is fragged, the 'looks can kill' hack
3. 'Modify' your character so that if he gets hit by a 300 trillion warhead nuclear weapon, head on, with no protection, all he has to worry about is whether or not a hair has been moved out of place
4. Win tournament.
The point here is, you CANNOT win online tournaments by sheer skill in gameplay alone. The internet doesn't allow it, because of the number of people out there that live to break the rules, not play by them.
All of the above methods have actually being documented as having been used in their respective tourneys, Diablo II just a few months ago, Planetarion is still ongoing, Starcraft last week, and Unreal Tournament and PSO all the time.
So, if you're going to play online games, do it for fun, and fun alone. Remember, if you're in a competitive environment online, sooner or later your fun is going to end, abruptly.

I'd say only sometimes. Because the winners are picked on merit alone, and not a points system, the chances of cheats winning is lessened. It's VERY easy to discover if someone has cheated or not, you just enter a section of a winning post as a search string into Google.com and see how many hits you get.
But your point IS valid, cheats can still win GAD/FAD if they are lucky enough to get away with it. Getting away with it though, is a lot harder than they may think.....
