Hello everyone!

Boshy has been banned for 5 months now, here's an update and decisions that were made for his situation.

Recap
  • Boshy received a 3 months ban for admin abuse on february 19th. There were proof of multiple bonuses and tricks cheat using admin only commands. His admin powers were revoked.
  • There were concerned raised about suspicious course wrs. The theory was that he edited the end zone to make his time harder to beat.
  • An investigation started by the Tempus head administration regarding course/map zone history. While the investigation was active, Boshy's ban has been extended for another 3 months.

Current situation

While the investigation is still in progress, we feel Boshy has received a fair punishment for what he was initially banned for: Bonus/Trick admin abuse. He got a 6 months ban for something that was initially a 3 months ban on the simple theory of a possible cheated course zone edit with no proof to back it up.

For that reason, we've agreed to set a unban date on august 19th 2021, for a total of 6 months ban.

The investigation about course/map zone history is still on going, and his ban may get extended if proofs are found later on. We've only decided it isn't fair to extend the ban past 6 months based on a suspicion.

Recent event
Recently, Boshy used an alt to play on Tempus. No tts or wrs were set on his alt.

Alting on Tempus to evade a ban is obviously against the rule and warrants a ban, but for how long?

Analyzing the past alting ban history, it is dealt with on a case by case basis, based on the severity of the alting (if wrs/tts were set on the alt) and also based on the previous ban length if applicable.
e.g. Someone perm ban who alts will received a perm ban on his alt.
Or someone who alts and and gets multiple tts and wrs while his main isn't banned will receive a ban length based on the damage done.

In Boshy's case, we've come to the conclusion that his ban will be extended for another 3 months for alting, meaning a total of 9 months ban, unban date on november 19th 2021.

This doesn't change the fact that at any point if the course zone history investigation brings proof of cheating, the ban will be extended appropriately.

Has Boshy denied cheating course WRs?
Yes, much like he denied ever abusing his admin powers.

6 months as basically the initial punishment seems much more fair than the initial 3 months (even though I think it is still fairly short). An additional 3 months for ban evasion seems fair.
Good judgements imo

im gunna be honest 3 months for alting where he didnt set any wrs seems kinda harsh, the man is clearly addicted to the video game; i wouldve given him an extra 2 weeks tops for that

They want consistency when it comes to ban length, it's the right call. I was just unfortunate enough to be messaged a day after by seras about my unban when I already played on an alt. I didn't play because I was addicted, I just wanted a place to practice for the essentials cup. Offline/mmod are too different, JA lags way too often and rachello was joining pretty much instantly whenever I played on his server. Wasn't expecting people to find out about my alt only a day after but it doesn't matter, it's technically a rulebreak even if there was no malicious intent, I'll just play somewhere else.

Definitely the right decision regarding the 6 months. Indefinitely extending a ban just because the people running the investigation are not around is dumb.

Agreed

Honestly anything but a wipe its a joke.
Imagine what else he did that will never be discovered.
This game is already a joke as it is and supporting cheaters will only enable it even more.
And to be fair you would be doing the kid a favor as grinding speedruns on a dead game for all these years can?t be healthy ...
