Botting
In recent weeks we've seen a rise in players using bots to finish races. There were a couple of suspicious ranks shown by the Discord bot, people playing at times where the servers are relatively empty. Players were being votekicked, presumably so that they don't see the botting, and a lot of save/load-sequences were used, maybe because people thought that this makes it harder to track the actual race.
We've discussed this internally and came to the conclusion that due to the bot use, we will ban everyone who was involved as far as we could determine. This ban is by name, i.e. people can't join the servers with the name of the banned persons, leaving the banned unable to finish new races. The involved people are allowed to join the servers under new names, slight alterations of the old names are not allowed. The botted ranks will be removed in the next couple of days.
What are your thoughts on this?
We've decided to ban for now because our bandwidth to check races and ranks for bots is limited, so we wanted to make sure that the number of botted finishes decreases.

Re: Botting
Yeah, but maybe you warn everybody and should ban names from now on and not ban people who used it in the past, because there were no consequences.
Just from another point of view.

Re: Botting
I love seeing such a post finally. Same thing should've happened with Saro, Roco etc before but seems like nobody really cared. It's a step in the right direction.
Everything perfect with this decision. Props to the DDNet team for that.
