I was really shocked with the press release about Blizzard banning SC2 single player cheaters! Lucky for me because i don't have a Battle.net account. I only used cheats in the offline version of StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty just to practice and familiarize the different AI maps in Starcraft 2.
As a background info:
In an email response to a Starcraft 2 player appealing against the ban, Blizzard point out that success in the single player aspect of the game affects the achievement score of the player, which in turn affects their reputation in the online competitive world. Blizzard have been strict in the wording of past press releases, saying “if a StarCraft II player is found to be cheating or using hacks or modifications in any form, then as outlined in our end user license agreement, that player can be permanently banned from the game. This means that the player will be permanently unable to log in to Battle.net to play StarCraft II with his or her account.”
CheatHappens reported on October 10, 2010 that users were being banned for using one of their trainers, a program that allows players to activate cheats to give grant themselves invincibility, infinite resources and to reveal the map in campaign games and single player skirmishes. The CheatHappens Content Editor Chris O’Rorke has responded to the bans by saying “as long as these cheats don’t affect anyone but the person using them, why does anyone care? It’s not affecting any type of online ladders or standings or interrupting another person’s game. Some people argue that “achievements” can easily be gained by using cheats and this is the reason for banning people. Again, achievements are meant to mark a certain individual’s milestones within the game. They have no bearing on multiplayer standings, matches or games, regardless of what Blizzard might say.”
Scolex Portal has served thousands or even millions of SC2 players for a complete resource of SC2 single player cheats. The author of this blog just shared those found cheats and emphasized to use them just for fun and practice.
Is the action made by Blizzard on banning Starcraft 2 players who used single player cheats or trainers reasonable? Let me hear your opinion and wise comments!

As a background info:
On October 1, 2010, Blizzard began the unprecedented act of suspending and banning players for the use of cheats and trainers in SINGLE PLAYER games of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Users found to be using cheats in SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN MODE and AI SKIRMISH mode were treated the same as if they had cheated in a multiplayer online match. For some, their accounts were suspended and for others their CD keys were disabled and they were completely locked out of playing even campaign mode in their legally purchased game.
