A friendly reminder was posted by Blizzard on StarCraft II's official web site, warning players in advance that they may suspend or ban those found using hacks, cheats or other modifications in the game. According to the post:

Blizzard Entertainment has always taken cheating in any form in Blizzard games very seriously, and that's no different for StarCraft II. 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.

Playing StarCraft II legitimately means playing with an unaltered game client. Doing otherwise violates our policies for Battle.net, and it goes against the spirit of fair play that all of our games are based on. We strongly recommend that you avoid using any hacks, cheats, or exploits.

Blizzard then added, "Suspensions and bans of players that have used or start using cheats and hacks will begin in the near future."

I've played games where people will send all their workers into an enemy base to get them killed then leave afterwards.

I think that if you enter a team game with the intention of griefing your team, that that should merit some sort of punishment.

Griefing happens in all multiplayer games it cannot be stop, its not considered cheating.

It is better to find friends you like to play together with and create a team to avoid griefers.

Whoever put a thumbs down to that must be one hell of a hacker in Starcraft II

I have come across at least 2 cheaters, its it rampant....I won both games but he records never showed up and they acted suspicious during play

It will be a good day when their accounts are banned.

Packet sniff hacks will continue to be undetectable since they don't run on the same computer as the game.
They will ban a hand full of script kiddies but the bulk of the real cheaters will be completely unaffected.
