A few things to note:
Q: What does it mean -exactly- when someone is listed here?
A:People who are listed here are -certain- to have code in their systems that they shouldn't have. UTPure however complains about the smallest things, so we don't (just) use that info. If someone is listed here we are certain enough to ban him from our servers permanently.
Q: Will they ever get unbanned?
A: Not unless their story (or money ) is Really good.
Q: Are the IP's listed static IPs?
A: Not unless explicitly stated otherwise, no. It is hard to determine if someone has a static IP (we do have some tools for it). When cheating activity comes from a specific IP more than once, we will probably pick up on it and 'upgrade' an IP's status accordingly. Until that time we can't guarantee (mainly to other interested admins of course) that the IP is static and can safely be banned indefinately.
Q: I'm a serveradmin, should I ban the IPs you list here as a precaution?
A: That depends on if you trust our judgement and fairness, doesn't it? Who knows, we might be banning people that keep beating us fair and square. Seriously though, all clanmembers can check up on eachother when/where/how a cheater was identified and banned, and I sincerely doubt the reason 'He stole my girlfriend' will be tolerated as a ban-reason. (hasn't come up, anyway). Also, this Server & Clan currently has a pretty good and respectable status (right? ) and we would be kinda foolish to risk this reputation by banning people without proper reasons. Still, judging who is a cheater and who isn't sometimes really is a matter of human judgement, and humans can and will be wrong occasionally.
Q: I'm a serveradmin, are you interested in my bans?
A: Yes. Though see the previous question.. whether or not we will trust your judgement and ban people pre-emptively based on your findings depends on how well we know you and/or what your reputation seems to be.
