So I was wondering why arent masked games the norm for competitive play here? That would solve the whole meta clearing bs that goes on as well as people staring at one's stats just to see if they agree with their decision or not. It is quite annoying being in a middle of a game, im mafia, almost got the win then suddenly somebody starts getting meta cleared and town wins. Or one person that's obviously mafia will still win just simply because their stats are good and people sheep them. Logic says they're obvious mafia but their stats says win. And they gonna keep their stats good because of how a lot of people stare at them too much. I myself dont base judgement off stats but it seems it's different for a lot others.
Is that the same world where you tell Dylan that you feel sorry for the women in his life because you think he beats them, Lono?

I said the forums are a veritable cesspool, which was literally me agreeing with you so I'm confused how you can say I need to learn to read when you're mad I agreed lol
When I said under a week, I was exaggerating. The point of my post is that people who are banned for cheating often don't serve their bans all the way through. This is especially true for popular users who are close to mods or other popular users. In some cases, these people even go on to become mods.
And why should the ban for cheating be so long? I understand that it compromises the integrity of competitive, but if you can make exceptions to your rules based on your (biased) perspective, then everyone else aside from the notorious 'hackers' and rule breakers should also be given the same exceptions.
If we 'decriminalize' cheating, I can guarantee that more of these people would not mind an anonymous round. I realize that the ban time for cheating was pretty recently shortened, but what's stopping these people from cheating again once they're off the hook? Or even bypassing the bans?
The ban time does NOT matter. What matters is to what degree cheating is tolerated. The people on this site are prone to addictive personalities and depressive tendencies. As we all know, it is hard to break an addiction. This causes other addicts to shame those who they perceive inferior for cheating. If the cheater is also an addict, then he/she will more than likely want to return to 'prove' themselves and to get rid of the negative perception surrounding them.
It is a vicious cycle, and one of the many reasons that the mods and admin shouldn't rely entirely on their userbase to determine their decisions. Those who are content playing gold hearts without ever commenting in the forums don't have as much influence as the addicts who play gold hearts and are always commenting in the forums.
