Cheating and DotA
[i]Recently a team added a player that was once caught maphacking. This action raised several questions. How long should someone be banned from competing if caught hacking? Do people that get caught get treated the same? Is it important that they show remorse concerning their actions? And the biggest question maybe, how can we actually make these bans a realisation?
All these question have been already asked a thousand times. These aren't questions that only apply to DotA. But have been very prominent in every game, maybe the most in Counter-Strike, however hacking is an issue in every type of game. FPS, RTS, MMo's, ... I will try to find an answer to the questions raised above in this article based on other games.[/i]
