Hackers Hell

Hackers Hell (HH) is a place in a game or system where cheaters would go. People who use mods, downloads, cheats, hacks, Etc. will be put in a different server/system from the rest of the normal players. Almost every game has a Hackers Hell or it bans the player because of cheating the system. Some games don't have a Hackers Hell sometimes because they don't have time to make one, don't notice the cheaters, or just don't care. There is a low chance to have a hacker in Hackers Hell because most people who are in Hackers Hell used generators. The likely chance to have someone escaped from Hackers He'll is probably 15% if someone is lucky enough to escape then they are most likely a hacker.
Some kid buys a new game and wants to have all his skills maxed so he uses a generator to get points and coins. Once the generator is finished the game would scan his account and find out he used a generator. Instead of just banning the account the game will put the account is a system which is Hackers Hell.
