I get that the moderators have already taken action, and I respect their decision. But I still feel like just disqualifying the player might not be enough to stop repeat offenders. A warning first makes sense, but if someone keeps breaking the rules, a ban would send a much stronger message and help protect fair players.
The problem is that the tournament system automatically pairs players, so if I want to participate, I have no way to avoid being matched against someone using a program. If I lose, I lose my hard-earned points, which is completely unfair. That’s why I believe a ban would make more sense in cases of repeated cheating—it’s the only way to truly prevent it from affecting fair players.
I trust that FlyOrDie’s moderation team is doing their best to keep things fair, and I’ll definitely keep reporting any future issues. I just hope cases like this get monitored closely so the same thing doesn’t keep happening. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
