Banning CS&DoD Cheaters

44
Well it's begun, cheaters in Counter-Strike and DoD are now getting globally banned from playing on all secured servers. (read: 99.9%). Here is a sample screenshot I was sent and a quote from Erik Johnson talking about the bans:

The ban list is now active, which means people that are detected cheating on a secure server will be banned from all secure servers for 24 hours. We'll be increasing the penalty for cheating dramatically over time as we become more comfortable with how the system is operating. We know of no false positives being generated currently, but we're going to be extremely careful we aren't banning legitimate players. [snip]

Yay? Yes.. YAY!
