We reserve the right for assist admins to ban a player if they consider him obvious cheater, e.g after spectating him.

First ban of this kind is a temporary "warning" ban (e.g. for 1-4 weeks). Second is permanent.

Rationale:
Due to technology issues (architecture of PCs/windows/games), cheat authors have always advantage over the anti-cheat creators. Therefore, undetected cheats will always exist, no matter how much we will improve the detection. Our situation is further worsened by the fact, that all big AC organizations (PB, ACI, etc.) dropped support for this game. So in order to make the situation a little bit more even, we reserve the above mentioned right.

I will leave this topic open for a few days, so that everyone can freely bitch, rage, complain, and say how much he hates me for this (too bad someone banned Skrewy, but I will unban him for specifically that purpose). Do it here please, so that you don't need to spam the particular appeal topics. After then it will be closed, and the above statement will be included in that sticky "rules" topic.

wont hear no bitch from me, i totally agree

It's up to you to figure out how hard you should squeeze it.

This is something I have to figure out on a nightly basis.

I really disagree with this. If it's obvious he's wall hacking from viewing him, then use fraps and record it. At least something to show the guy was sketchy. There is just too much room to ban people who do nothing wrong.

Find a balance. You're not going to catch every cheater.

I think it's quite balanced. And it's not like I'm spending whole days looking for cheaters, trying to "manually" ban them all. I only focus on suspicious stuff that comes across my way.

Note that so far I only banned a few players this way (if you don't count the multiple accounts of theirs). It looks otherwise, because each such ban generates a lot of upset and noise.

Give one good reason why proof shouldn't be required to ban people.

As a matter of fact, did you even discuss any of this with the other admins before announcing this new joke of a "rule?"

Pit control and maintain the Assist Auth System... he can do what he wants with it.
hmmm, 9 of 10 admins agree with him on this. imo

We can schedule a match if you want, you will see why we have to ban this way... theres ppl "italians"ready to pwn the "pros" of America's Army.

How are you getting that? First of all, there are only 7 admins here. Second of all, you, pit, and I are the only ones to post our opinion so far. Spanky just made a bad joke.

the point is still valid xD, its 4 (or 5) against 3 (or 2) lol

not really. it's 1vs2 right now. The other admins haven't said anything.

Spanky, Pit, Sergio & Me are in favor of the "non hard proof bans" 
idk bout Utroda neither BB.
