I'll support this just to see if this can bring any improvements to the community.
Although, do you guys remember when "X" was banned due to cheating but nobody believed peppy when he said that "X" cheated? Do you remember how many flame threads/fights/massive spam that caused?. If the community is going to trust the staff then sure let's do it! BUT if the community is going to start flame wars every time somebody is banned then I can see this being counter productive when it comes to getting rid of cheaters.
Requesting something is really easy but we also have to collaborate with staff in order to make this "feature" work.
Gonzvlo, I'd appreciate a name instead of "X," since I can't remember a case like yours.
Regardless, I thought of that issue too, but in the end I feel the cases of people not believing cheats are far outweighed by people who have their friends show up banned for no explanation (aevv seems to be the most common example) However, cases where people get banned for cheating shouldn't be gone over lightly. It would probably behoove the admins to save a replay, or even record and upload one unlistedly on youtube if you really want to do it right, where it shows exactly how and where he's cheating. In the end, a ban is an admin's decision. I however think that a ban log would both help admins make a case for the people they've banned, along with hopefully at least a screengrab of their transgression, and give regular players the chance to inform themselves before raging against the admins because a friend got rightfully banned.
There is no "maybe cheating." All you need is a clear enough case and you're good to go for a ban, and any dissenters should just be able to look up a replay and think "well yeah."
