The whole idea is that cheaters now very often go unpunished on xwis, as IP and name - bans are more or less easy to bypass nowadays.

I think it is already very important for people to know that there is actually a punishment possible, it might already make a part of the cheaters think twice, especially when some exemples have been set.

This doesn't work for GSA-servers but it seems their bans use renegade serials, so bans are harder to bypass. Ideally we would use the xwis id's to ban on ofcourse, maybe Olaf will read this and give us an update on that possibility?

How to be sure someone is cheating? Maybe a simple report-system could be put in place. I think of a form where you give in a cheater's name, ip's, server he cheated on and a zip file with possible proof. This form is mailed to BHS. If they receive 15 complaints for the same person, it might be clear that there's a problem. This ofcourse asks for a cooperation of the server owners.

I think this discussion is valuable, some information can be bundled which may lead to a good way to handle this.

As to mr Pirate, you ain't half as 'important' to anyone, as you think you are.
