I mean c'mon, a quick look at Ulf t's rating graph should point out the obvious!
This is a guy who was one time getting checkmated in <20 moves by roma45 for crusts sake!! (no offense bud)

A good idea I think.

Analyse all the final round games involving the winner.
If the winner is disqualified as a result, then analyse all the final round games involving the next-in-line.
Repeat until you run out of disqualified machine-users and get a real winner.
That way there aren't so many games to analyse, so it's more likely to happen.
Matchup rates should be publicly posted, so there can be no doubt in anyone's mind of the fairness of the process.
I'd do it myself if I had both the engine and the knowledge of how to use it.

If they decide to ban him now there will still be a lot of unhappy members because they allowed him to get away with it for so long.
