Everyone in the old banlist is now only watchlisted.
We have clear evidence that a certain person on this list, however, has been cheating. We will give them 10 days to admit, due to the nature of this being a new system. If not, then we will penalize him in accordance with the rules
Tac and I are releasing some guidelines for players and future mods to (hopefully) follow.
Hope this makes things easier.
Why we made this: The bans, so far, have been indefinite and basically infinitely long. This is mostly because of issues like repeated cheating, or just plainly forgetting about the ban.
The system will go as follows.
There will be different penalties for each offense. There will also be a watchlist system, which will prioritized people who are marked down as potential or former cheaters.
Being watchlisted will give you different penalties than if you weren't.
These are the normal penalties
Slowed Timer = 2 months. 6 months max. Sped Up Run = 9 months. 2 years max. Speed Hacks = 12 months. 2 years max.
Each VIDEO that cheats in a certain method will be counted as a separate offense, which is why maximum lengths were imposed.
Due to the new system implemented, the old banlist will be cleared and taken out of the equation.
Watchlist offenses: Certain people will be put on a public watchlist. If the moderation team finds evidence of person cheating before they admit in clear written/video form that they were cheating, the moderation team will ban them for the maximum length of the offense penalized for. If they admit before the moderation team finds clear proof, however, they will only be banned for 4 months, regardless of offense.
and yes, this means everyone in the old banlist, including Razorblade8888, is now unbanned.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Watchlisting is PERMANENT. The only way to get off the watchlist is to become part of the banlist instead, which is not really preferred. And by the time you DO get out of the banlist, all people who have ever been banned will be watchlisted, which means that you will still be part of the watchlist when unbanned.
ask any questions about it, as i kinda rushed for this one.
and yes, cheating of any kind on any DE run will get you WL'd. if you're legit, you have nothing to worry about as we'd find no evidence wink
Alright I think you guys have made a good decision with this new format.
Just out of curiosity, why should the slowed timer be an issue, because all of the mods should frame time it, and if the timer is slowed by 3 seconds I don't think that someone would try to be THAT blatant to get banned.
For example if someone submits a 39.3 on Frost Run, I don't think that they would be trying to get away with cheating xd
I concur with what Paris said. You need to do a VERY good job to make that even work, and if it IS going to be punishable it should be like 2 weeks max
You don't, it's permanent
But basically it's designed so if you're not a cheater, you really shouldn't have to worry about it anyway. This is mostly due to the fact that it only affects your penalty if you DO cheat.
A slowed timer shouldn't even matter, let alone be punished. The real time is determined by the mods, the timer on the video doesn't even matter (doesn't even have to be there, think of it as an amenity that became an unwritten standard in this community).
I guess I'll talk to you guys when I'm done with hw.
