    	    <description><![CDATA[Its like this, its like that................Have the song in my head now!

Its funny how much people miss, dont bother reading, or decide to interpret in their own way that the post only means what they want it to mean. One major fact is, the community are part of the reason the information isn't given out or have been proof as to why its pointless to do so.

Last time around there was arguements that ETF2L should let team leaders know in advance before the cheater is announced, so that they can talk to the member and prepare/be ready for when the public announcement comes. So EFT2L work with the community and do that and what happens? People go posting about it in public and causing shit before the announcement and dont think this is just Arx, there were others there in that thread that posted their members were being banned as well.

Last time around people were complaining to see the evidence. You want the demo's and proof! Right, so ETF2L <b>privately</b> let the people concerned know a limited number of the demo's used and what happens? The people concerned yet again prove they shouldn't be supported and go posting the chat logs and information around. On top of that, because ETF2L haven't written an idiots guide to spotting a cheater the people involved can't see anything, so giving out the demo's was a pointless exercise. And whats more on top of that, said people carry on buying into the cheaters "I didn't cheat" claims and carry on argueing meaning giving out demo's was useless again.

People will always want more. Thats the simple truth and while ETF2L actually finds cheaters there will always be arguements until ETF2L say "Oh the cheaters friend said he didn't cheat so he is unbanned now, sorry for the confusion". That or they just allow cheats in the league. Do you want to play with/against cheaters?

If those that knew what to watch for wrote explanations and examples and gave the evidence as is being requested (ie a guide to spotting a cheater) then they would also be advising cheaters on what to do not to get caught. Its hard enough to see these things already without all this argueing making it easier for the cheaters.

There is also the talk of having a jury of people to look and confirm. Well. There is currently Jonni, Winneh, Byte, DrG, and Kop on the ETF2L AC Team and also knowing how thorough DeNeusBeer is he will be checking it all for false positives and making sure the bans are justified before he allows it to go through. There is 6 people.
Then for bans to go through the other leagues I know Mick and Fean0r take cheats very seriously within ED especially with doing UKeSa as well, so there is 2 more people that have to agree if they are banned from ED let alone the other ED admins. I also know Bury takes this seriously in WP as well so if they get banned from WP there is one more let alone the other admins he will consult.

So if someone is banned from ETF2L, ED, and WP it has gone through roughly 9 or more people that know what to look at or have had it explained to them as to why they are a cheater, and they agree he is a cheater. How big a jury do you want?

As other people have repeatedly pointed out and those argueing for evidence to be public have repeatedly ignored, how many other leagues provide you with evidence of cheats? ESL bans thousands of people at a time and dont publish the evidence.]]></description>

There are no posts about the system works, the admins did good or i have no strong opinion either way because the people with it see no need for it

System shouldn't change cos some bum chums/fanboys/w/e had their "mate" banned]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[yes exactly joshua, good point. if we were to count all the people wanting evidence on the forum we might get (if we're optimistic)  up to 40? how many players in the etf2l?

Even if I didnt't hide behind an alt you still wouldn't know who I am tbh. I just don't want some crap about "who the hell do you think you are?" well it's true, I'm  nobody...]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[My personal opinion on the whole thing is it's very similar to when businesses get complaints about their products. They might get complaints from 100 people, which worry them, yet they may have thousands of satisfied customers, who never say that they are totally satisfied with what's going on. 

Whilst the arguments of people wanting to see evidence aren't invalid, I see no reason that this represents the majority of the community, in fact more just the vocal few.

Again I may be totally wrong, but this is the way it appears to me.]]></description>
