Stop calling them hackers : Crysis

They are cheaters. Period. Don't give regular noobs the thrill of being called a hacker when they don't know anything about computer programming, etc. They are just monkeys following instructions blindly and often foolish enough to throw away money to CHEAT on a video game. Using hacks =/= hacker, just a lame cheater being lame.

We called them script kiddies.

Did this deserve its own thread?

The only reason I can think of that you have made a separate thread is because you know that otherwise people would just gloss over this useless comment.

Yes it did-- I looked over the first page and must have seen the word hacker in 5 different thread and it irked me.

Agreed

I agree, although socially it seems the term "hacker" is now just a preferred nomenclature for a "cheater," specifically one using some sort of hack.

I see. So

Using cheats == cheater
Using hacks =/= hacker

I also call them cheaters mostly, but "hacker" is just a synonym in this case imo, I don't mind people saying that.

p.s.: "script kiddies" is still used, you aren't that old. Tho I only hear that in the topic of website cracking and stuff.

The most accurate way to call them is "underage bedwetting retards".
