The C&A Department have made some changes to the Cheating and Abuse Policy as part of ongoing review of our guidelines. The following additions will come into effect from midnight (CET) Saturday 16th June 2007.
Punishments[/u]
for individual players:
* Anyone caught cheating in an official ClanBase match, will have the result changed into a forfeit loss. Only games where the cheating occured will be changed.
* Anyone caught cheating in a public server or an outside league, will result in a ban only. Results of any ClanBase games in which they have participated, will not be changed.
Please note that ClanBase will only ever change the result of a match when it can be proved that an offence took place during that match. All players are considered innocent until proven guilty and a player's guilt can only be ascertained once their case has been dealt with by the C&A Team.
Notes
* Anyone who is currently banned, cannot request or Supervise a Hosted cup.
* Bans are issued at various times, because of this it is impossible for us to see if there are any ongoing or scheduled matches for offending players.
* It is the player's responsibility to check to see if they have been issued a ban.
* Players have until 30 minutes before their scheduled match to check if a ban has been issued. If a ban has not been issued by then, they are free to play that match regardless if a ban is then issued.
Following a situation in which a player's ban was added whilst he was playing an official match the above has been added for clarification.

lol clanbase ~_~
again FUCK YOU CLANBASE.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Who made these changes? a german 100% sure.
What if someone cheats in an official, gets caught but not banned, plays another official without cheats, and then gets banned. I hope both matches would be forfeits...
The results stay! No forfeit.
well if they're going to be retarted like that I think i'm going to cheat
-if a player cheats in a public or scrim no results will be overturned
-if he cheats in an official he will be assumed to have cheated in all official matches and the results of all the matches he played will be changed to forfeit losses
With current rules, instead, it is well worth the risk to have a cheater in your lineup and use him to pass the group stage of a cup, for example. Even if he is caught cheating at the last match, your clan will still qualify if you won the other matches and it can't be proven he cheated in them :[
yeah i agree. its hard enough to catch a cheater once. this means more cheaters, just cheat all you want, if you get caught you only get 1 forfeit. then get a new account, its your opponents job to make sure your team isnt playing with a banned cheater :-I
As I've said before, I applaud CB's intentions, and things like "innocent until proven guilty" sound good when you say it quick, but we live in an imperfect world, online gaming being less perfect than most things. We simply don't have the technology / resources to admin the game perfectly, whereas "zero tolerance" is easy to understand and far simpler to administer.
Not really: "If the cheating occured in a Cup match, the clan will be removed from the cup."
*edit*
The rules seems somewhat contradictory, with another section saying
"in accordance with the cup rules a clan may be removed from the cup when it has forfeited a certain amount of matches."
nice one banning allu then
and the thing i wanted to point out, the only "proof" that C&A had for banning allu was a demo where he shot some 3hs kills and all the belgium guys where whining, and that's in my opinion not a real proof, where is the pb bust, pbss or smth like that, this would be a proof but not som whining belgiums
you can play the game as long as the ban had not been put in place more then 30 minutes before the game starts.
and it's up to the playerr himself to check if he has indeed been banned or not before that time. not up to the admins/opponents.
Hacking == hacking no matter where in ET...

Example 1:
"If the cheating occured in a Cup match, the clan will be removed from the cup."
vs.
"A forfeit loss in a cup corresponds to a normal loss, but in accordance with the cup rules a clan may be removed from the cup when it has forfeited a certain amount of matches."
Example 2:
"Any player found playing while currently serving a ban, will be banned permanently."
Found playing what? Publics? Other tourneys?
I also think they should clarify that you are not only responsible for your GUID, but also for your IP address. If someone else uses "your" IP address (but with another GUID) then you'll get banned, but if you just sign up another account on CB then you can use that GUID/IP for cheating without risk. :P
They should specify: cheating in ladder game -> forfeit loss, cheating in cup game -> removal from the cup
