Editing Cheating in online games (section)

===Exploits===
{{Main|Exploit (online gaming)}}
Exploiting is the application of an unintended feature or [[computer bug|bug]] that gives the player an advantage not intended by the game design. Exploiting is generally considered cheating by the gaming community at large due to the unfair advantage usually gained by the exploiter. Most software developers of online games prohibit exploiting in their terms of service and often issue sanctions against players found to be exploiting. There is some contention by exploiters that exploiting should not be considered cheating as it is merely taking advantage of actions allowed by the software. Some players view exploiting as a skill because certain exploits take a significant amount of time to find, or dexterity and timing to use.{{elucidate|date=January 2017}}
