In general, we are trying to make the servers as accurate as possible to what Nintendo Network did, so it is unlikely that we will change this behavior even if it would be beneficial.
That being said, our policy is that cheating on Pretendo is not allowed in public matches (it’s only allowed in private/friend-only matches). If you can, we’d appreciate it if you could record video evidence of cheaters and submit it to the Hacker Reporting Thread.
