In the My Performance page, it would be nice to have some sort of indicator as to which of your opponents have been banned for engine use.

Should be simple for the admin to put a line through a username.

No jest. What is the big difference?
For example, one assertion is "RHP is an active chess community with over 100,000 members."
A proof demonstrates that the claim is true. A proof of the above assertion could take the form of a list of 100,000 usernames in use at this site, which could be verified by anybody who is interested in and in doubt of the truth of the assertion.
Only true claims can be proven. I have yet to see a proof of the example assertion, and I remain unconvinced of its truth.
In the context at hand, another example of an assertion is "Dr. Strangelove is an engine user." This is the only sort of output that the Game Mods generate - that is all that they have said about those banned. They have given no proof, no reason for us to believe that their assertions are true, and no means of verifying their findings or of validating their methods.
