Disconnect cheating is a major problem in most competitive RTS games, especially Starcraft, and is often ignored by developers. It involves either forcefully dropping your opponent from a game using
an external program or disconnecting from a game to prevent losses
being registered (for example, by using an external program to simulate
severe lag and timeouts).
Due to complaints, EA has reset the account of top-ranked Command & Conquer 3 ladder player 
Qizazz.

Apoc:We will rank reset everyone when patch 1.05 deploys and are working on a cheating/disconnecting policy to roll out at the same time.
Right now, I am just doing one-off bans for top-level players who are blatantly disconnecting constantly.
Tough times ahead it seems (for some). And a breath of fresh air to see gaming giants EA, take positive action in this direction.
