Cheaters should be stripped of their medals Updated

[Symmetry]

stripping victories seems like a separate suggestion. If TPTb already have the power to strip medals, it should be employed.

Well, I'm not sure the admin agree.

In any case, it can't be employed separately. If you read what I wrote earlier, you would understand that if you wanted the bronze, silver, gold, and diamond medals stripped, something else must also be done in order for them to remain stripped. Otherwise, they will re-appear. Now, if you wanted other medals (GA, GC, TA, etc.) stripped, that is different. But those medals are (mostly) not really the medals achieved through cheating.

Fair enough. Would it be fair to say that this is tied to a point reset then?

Medals are derived from victories. You can't strip medals and not touch victory counts. Point reset is different subject.

Not all of them, obviously, but fair point. What do you suggest?

I suggest a giant asterisk next to their name or some other form of scarlet letter that will flag them out to everyone. Make it bigger with each offense.

But have it go away after a period of time.

Sometimes cheating happens because of a misunderstanding of the rules.

The mods are generally sympathetic to appeals. A time limit seems to me a poor idea. Ifs the medals are unearned fairly, why return them?

He was referring to my scarlet letter suggestion, not yours.

Yep, I'm not sure why the 2 topics were merged...

They weren't. I had the idea here, then started a new thread.

Apologies.

I agree...a cheater does not deserve medals

Thanks for clearing that up. The issues were getting muddled. Hope you check back in here, even if you disagree with me

Pretty much.
