I already wanted to post this in the other topic, but it is locked.
But seriously, I do support this action. I think the amount of security measures needed to stop pit if he still wanted to hack would cost us a lot more, now they can focus more on other things, and in this way it will be good for everyone.
In all honesty, I do not give one single fuck if the player im playing against has cheated in some past, as long as he doesn't cheat now, so we can just play normal. I have never used any hack in this game and I do not know what's it like or if a cheater is always a cheater (which I do not agree with, in that case anyone punished for any crime irl should get a lfietime punishment because they will "always be like that"). All cheats are detected now with the new system I suppose, so he can't do harm anymore anyways or he's banned.
So the only "disadvantage" I see is people who are complaining because of moral issues about cheaters. But with all respect, if he doesn't cheat anymore, what harm can he still do?
I know it's hard to make such a decisions, but I do appreciate the steps you make Jonny, you are a good leader, but don't give up because people are complaining about it. You know how humans are, complaining is a lot easier. A basic thing about humans: It's always far more easy to make someone unhappy opposed to make someone happy.
Now lets move on.
