Automatic transfer of the opponent's password after the end of the match is an excellent and probably feasible solution. Worse is when an opponent rage-quits.
To Al Feyn:
The comment about logging in through the public services portal was a joke, but not an empty one: it's an example of a barrier that cannot be bypassed (or at least is difficult to bypass).
You misunderstood or didn't read carefully regarding the qualification process. Read it again. Once more, in more detail: the contender is given a save file, from which they directly defeat the opponent in front of the referee on Skype (or whatever platform they use), preferably with voice commentary explaining their actions. No cheater or unskilled newbie will pass this. For everyone else, this shouldn't be a problem. If anyone has a better idea, please share it; I spoke up to encourage a discussion and generate sound ideas that can be implemented.
I agree with =Lizard=: if the opponent is clearly weak, based on all visible signs, but is "stalling," few people will want to continue playing against them. However, they will never admit that they are weaker, even though they won't be able to prove the opposite. And what, should you spend 2-3 hours "enduring the agony" so that YOU aren't considered a rule-breaker and YOU don't get a technical loss? This is wrong from the perspective of evaluating the behavior of specific people in a specific situation. The rules need to be refined in this regard. Discuss and decide what and how. At least even I, an offline player, see a problem here.
Regarding the list of violators/cheaters: there should be a link in the table next to each nickname that allows you to find out when and what specific violation occurred. Rage-quitting is, yes, not a major sin, especially if it happens only once, but cheaters should be highlighted with a color.

What password sharing are we even talking about, when the ladder is infested with scum who show up at the respawn for one day and wipe out a Castle with a thousand angels/pirates. There are no saves, nothing.
I wrote about the crystal bug in Discord - nobody cares. I DM'd the admin on Discord regarding a leaver - he didn't answer. Playing HotA is a lack of self-respect. A rabble of leavers and cheaters. Meanwhile, some guy is at the top playing on his own template with his fans, who obviously transferred pts to themselves from other accounts, because they don't know how to play at all.

some guy creates many accounts, gathers pts on them using cheats, and then transfers it to himself via two client windows, but everyone....

We're talking about password sharing if there's rot in the ladder, where someone shows up for one day, rushes to the respawn point, and destroys the Castle with a thousand angels/pirates. There are no saves, nothing.
Send screenshots with comments to hotaleavers@gmail.com and add them to the blacklist.

I wrote about the crystal bug in Discord – no one cares.
What kind of response did you expect? The bug has been known for a long time, and you probably didn't attach any saves (I don't remember anyone attaching them there) – such a report is not of interest. As soon as the cause of the bug becomes clear, it will be fixed.

I wrote to the admin in Discord about the leaver – he didn't answer.
Because you need to write not to the admin in a private message (and he's probably not a Russian speaker either – what will he answer you?), but to the email hotaleavers@gmail.com.

In this thread, your reports will also not be read.

Ah, yes, regarding the HotA universe. I submitted a report once, but no one responded. It's probably difficult to convey that the report has been reviewed. Maybe it wasn't even read. =))

What is this bug with the crystals? Please don't delete it right away as off-topic.

There's a bug where, in the creature bank (for example, the Black Tower, but it seems to happen in any bank), approximately 60,000 crystals (and sometimes other numbers and resources) are added as a reward. The source of this is currently unknown. It's actually quite surprising that none of the HW team members have encountered it.

If anyone does encounter it, we'll need all the save files from the beginning of the game for both players.

I submitted a report once, but no one responded.
Whether or not they respond is up to the administration. The main thing is that the report sent to that email address won't be ignored and will eventually be reviewed. Of course, if adequate evidence is attached – usually screenshots, and in the case of cheating, save files are desirable.

Another effective measure against cheating could be manual verification of completed game results: a moderator receives the save file before the final battle or surrender of one of the opponents, checks it, and if everything looks normal, the result is recorded. At least for new participants and during the initial period (~one week), this would be a good approach. Additionally, it would be beneficial to upload these save files to the cloud (also for about a week) so that anyone can check them if suspicions arise.
Otherwise, the HotA lobby will become a complete mess, and no decent player will want to participate. :(

And who would pay for such a tedious task and find experienced players to do it? It's a ridiculous suggestion. But automatic saving of games to the cloud with passwords would be great.

GNN, firstly, please refrain from using profanity on the forum; we do have some rules. Secondly,
GNN
Playing in HotA is disrespectful to oneself. It's a gathering of leavers and cheaters.
Since there are no consequences for violations (a cheater can easily create a new account after being banned), violations will always occur, and there's nothing that can be done about it. The only way to solve the problem radically is to store the game and saves on a server. If we're talking about enforcing the rules, there should be a system of strict bans based on both IP address and hardware, so that if someone cheats, they can't play again, and then no one will cheat.

There is such a system, and of course, cheaters are banned, not just their accounts.

However, even a ban on an account isn't as harmless as it seems: a negative reputation is shared across all accounts, while a positive reputation accumulates for each account separately. With each new account, the former will accumulate, while the latter will be reset, and no one will want to play with that player.

Player with the nickname SAM6818 is a "cheater". They fully built 2 Cove towns without farming anything (1 crypt), had a gold mine, and hired all weekly growth from them for 3 weeks on poor M200%, without even farming the Griffin Conservatory 3-4 times on respawn (apparently they didn't give a damn about it). Don't know if it's a bug or cheats, but they came to kick my ass with 39 Magi, 151 Pirates, 51 Assassins, and 250 Nymphs. I couldn't build anything for 14 turns because I had no gold. And this mother***er built 2 native towns without farming anything......

Whoa, whoa, easy now: we don't use foul language here!

The HotA lobby makes me want to vomit. A dark mass of Death Knights with zero rating and zero intelligence. I play with my little toe on my left foot, M200, 2-minute turns, and I enjoy it. I've lost motivation for other game modes where you sometimes need to think, after I reached 300 points and started getting added to the blacklist with -1 in every game just because they were upset that they lost or failed. As a result, I have -6, and I enter a game against an unupgraded Golem with a rating of 150 and a +4 bonus, and this creature writes to me, "Are you a leaver? Please leave." It was so ridiculous, I just burst out laughing at that moment. Now everything is fine. Games last half an hour, new account, even +2. M200, 2-minute turns, classic timer - it's overpowered. You can continue to boost your ratings from different computers with your Jebus-like pseudo-professionalism, but I don't do that. In my personal opinion, Jebus cross negatively affects the brain.

Judging by this text, you're getting negative ratings not out of spite, but because of your arrogance and aggression. Try to communicate normally.
