While I'm delighted to have seen the action taken by disclosing the names of proven cheaters, I have to say I'm pretty disgusted as to how it was brought about.

I think it is terrible that the person who can shout the loudest the longest in the forums and create the most discontent and ill feeling amongst users, is now setting the priorities for the site.

I can really feel the love in these forums tonight.

I can't stand the fact we haven't seen any evidence or given no chance for the accused to defend themselves

well.. we don't know if thats true or not..(about not having the chance to defend themselves).. .
We have to trust that Russ knows what he's doing.. it is his site.. do other sites provide the proof to all the rest of the users?

There's a thread in the help forum about Ironman suddenly not being about to access his account. I'd say they didn't get a chance to defend themselves, and I think that's wrong.

Its not wrong. IM31 broke the rules and had his acount terminated simple.. theres 5-6 I dunno game mods.. and they have all agreed that he was a cheat.. this is like having six eye witnesses pointing out the same person in a police line up. He broke the rules and action has been taken. Nobody can say justice hasn't been done. It's a good warning to other cheaters that they have nothing to gain.

just kidding (and poking at no1m) ... they are subject to TOS, the mods are doing their job, no quarter should be given ... and second-guessing of the mods, minimized ...
