Cheating was when a Club Penguin player used third-party programs or glitches to acquire extra items, accessed unavailable or limited features, and so on.
Cheating was against the Club Penguin rules, and players caught cheating were banned, usually for 72 hours or forever, depending on previous offenses on the player's account. Club Penguin encouraged players, particularly secret agents, to report any suspected cheating.
Common cheating methods
Trainers
Trainers were programs that were downloaded onto the player's computer. The player then plays Club Penguin through the program using add-ons and plugins to cheat Club Penguin. Many add-ons were client-side, meaning that only the player using the program can see the hack. Players were unlikely to get banned for client-side hacks. Client-side hacks were usually cosmetic, and could include changing a penguin's name, color, size, or changing to mascot clothing.
Other programs
Bot accounts were used to have many penguins follow one player at once, usually copying all of the actions of the player being followed, like messages or throwing snowballs. This was often called "cloning".
"Adders" were online or downloadable software that allowed players who used it to add coins, clothing, furniture, etc, directly to their account, even if they were not obtainable at the time.
