After sending two rather lengthy e-mails to the cup chiefs at ClanBase, followed by an even lengthier IRC discussion with Ginga_Ninja, who is in fact a cup chief at ClanBase. I discovered some 'rules', for want of a better term, which aren't very evident on their cheating policy page. Some of the interesting things which I discovered follow.

Almost 48 hours ago, Fusen, the Crossfire admin, made the largest cheat bust in ET history, by infiltrating the netCoders website and getting admin access with his ninja hacker skills. Around 20 competitive ET players were busted, some of whom were playing in rather decent clans. I don't think there is much doubt in anyone's mind as to whether these people actually cheat or not, the evidence is quite undisputable. This bust mainly served as a confirmation to many people's niggling suspicions.
