The GG.net Blacklist

Disclaimer: This thread will be *extremely* strictly moderated! You have been warned. Posts that clearly have not understood the short FAQ below will be deleted and left unanswered.
What is the Blacklist?
It is GosuGamers list of players who have abused, hacked or any other ways made them unwanted in our events and rankings. It is GosuGamers' way of taking a stance against cheating, hacking and abusing. We have run this for years (before this was posted), but not made the list public. It is now made public to make it easier for clans, players and other sites to keep track of which players are not allowed in GosuGamers events and rankings.
What does a ban mean
If a player is banned, he banned from all our rankings, gosubets and our events. We also make a point of giving these players minimum publicity in news and the replay section, to further hurt them.
Note that this has nothing to do with being banned/locked from the GosuGamers forums or comment sections. That is a separate process.
How, why and for how long does a player get banned?
A player gets banned for cheating, abusing, hacking or in other ways increasing their advantage in an unfair way mainly in serious competitive games. If deemed bad enough, a player might also get banned based on a public and/or ladder game.
The normal punishment is a one year ban for a first offense, and a life time ban for a second offense. GosuGamers does however have the right to change these at any time, and these are to be considered a guideline which we try to stick to.
We will normally not ban players for things that they did years back and have so far gone unpunished. At most, we can perm ban these players on a new offense instead of giving them a one year ban. But it's hard to look in to old events and verify things from years ago.
Player X hacked/cheated/abused and is not on the list!
We are only interested in competitive players of interest to the community. There will be no no-name players on this list.
If you have information on a player of interest that is not on the list, or if GosuGamers has missed something concerning a player, feel free to contact us.
Player X does not belong up there!
If you have information we do not have, feel free to share. This is not the thread to do so in, please use the links in the list to existing threads or open a new thread concerning it.
If you do not have any new information, it is very unlikely your post will make us change our minds.
We also have a long list of other players, the above is not complete, that are suspected or have been caught previously for hacking. Many of them are inactive or have long since switched to unknown akas and are therefore not presented. Should any of these players be caught, they will suffer perm bans.
There are also a few players that we do not allow in our own events because they simply make our events more frustrating to run, and are banned from these because we do not want to deal with them every time. These players are not presented here either.
This thread will be continously updated by GG.net crew.

can someone tell me more about this sensei guy?
I played him at tsl ladder, and he claimed to be an old school zerg who got A some seasons ago.
I assumed he was kidding obviously because I never heard from some australian gosu zerg, he told he would made A- for tsl. Went 21-0 and resseted -_-
Just curious
#4, he was a member of swedish based clan naw and got banned together with lots of others in the last huge bust. Don't know much else about him, but A- sounds reasonable for a former member of naw. Don't know how much of his skill was based around maphack.
#5, if you are refering to him being caught in the huge ICCup bust, basicly all sites came the conclusion that we couldn't just act on a list handed out by ICCup without anything more to back it up. He probably hacked then, especially seeing his recent actions, but we can't know for sure. That's why this is considered his first offense.
We also have a long list of other players, the above is not complete, that are suspected or have been caught previously for hacking. Many of them are inactive or have long since switched to unknown akas and are therefore not presented. Should any of these players be caught, they will suffer perm bans.
There are also a few players that we do not allow in our own events because they simply make our events more frustrating to run, and are banned from these because we do not want to deal with them every time. These players are not presented here either.
Was so many years since he got caught and lots of years since he went inactive so there is no point in having him on the list, he plays a little but very irregularly. Him and countless of others.
He has a czech flag on gg.net so that is obviously what he considers himself, so I'll let it stay that way.
Edit: The database says he's German though, but I'll let it stand as it is for now. Might change it later.

#13?:D
Dave is like the guy who never stopped, even after being caught, because he didn't care, he just hacked, and that was about it. And yet he does several A- each season, without, kinda a waste of talent.
Dino was the man, i remember playing against him, he always told if he had hacks on or not. And kinda made it alot challenging to game him, ofcourse I never won, and he was not bad at all without hacks, he really could play. :)
