Quick post for server admins.
Banning hackers is not a guessing game, you should be following an established system.
Here is such a system:
1. Gather evidence that shows a subjective proof of cheating.
2. Post your proof, explain why it proves they are cheating.
3. Let community members discuss and come to a decision as of whether the proof is legitimate or circumstantial.
4. Let the community leaders ultimately be the ones to make changes to a player's server permissions if necessary. (To limit banning authority - the community must make banning decisions together).

Maybe a way to avoid future conflicts?
 
A problem with that is there are not enough admins or members to review each demo.

Ban should always be accompanied with a demo

We have a system set forth in private forums. However, there are occasions when a decision is made without following protocol. There are also times of weakness when a questionable person clears a server or causes a barrage of complaints toward an admin for not taking action when 100% proof has yet to be obtained. We're all human and it happens from time to time.

Unfortunately, the point of a game is to have fun and dealing with that kind of drama is everything but fun. It's also unfortunate that hacking is apparently easy to do and plenty of punks take advantage of it to where anyone of great skill is accused of being one rather than admired for his hard earned level of play.
 
So do I have to be the asshole here?

Thanks for coming in to lecture us like we don't have experience running servers. All comments are gladly appreciated, even if they are blatantly snarky or made as a know-it-all-ism. As @A-Rich stated, we have a system. Believe it or not, you were a topic of discussion and review outside of the unban request you posted.

If you have any other helpful comments, please feel free to leave them.
