Edit: I accidentally edited op oops.
Exa made this post on the rgl forums, thought I'd repost here:
Selected quotes, emphasis mine:
exaQ: Is RGL able to have a public repository for POV demos?
A: The largest bottleneck with this is the expenses associated with paying for file hosting and needing to build out the site infrastructure to support this. At the moment, this is not something the site can realistically support.
exa Does RGL AC “clear” suspected players of cheating?
A: The RGL AC team does not clear players who have been reported or are being suspected of cheating. Players that have gotten cleared historically have had less oversight from the league and players at large, allowing them cheating, alt, account share under the guise of being cleared. Verdicts on suspected players will only be made once there is a majority opinion with a high level of confidence from the AC team to move forward with a cheating ban. This means that cases for suspected players will always be ongoing until the RGL AC team has a beyond reasonable doubt about moving forward with a ban.
exa Why does the RGL AC team have concerns about public evidence tipping off suspects? How long can these cases take?
A: Anti-cheat cases may take many months to acquire the necessary evidence to justify a ban where there is 100% confidence in the conclusions. An individual making their case and evidence publically can hurt AC with trying to find evidence that is largely missed by reporters. The criteria for evidence RGL AC has is extremely strict and requires high-quality evidence even to build a concrete case which will not always be the case for most public evidence. Having potential evidence be public and spreading it around will easily land it in the hands of a supposed cheater. Not only does this allow for the cheater to fix their mistakes to make it harder to be caught, but they will also know to lay low, allowing suspicions around them to calm down. This has happened to a large extent in several recent cases, drastically slowing down the investigation. If the suspect does get banned, they often attempt to use the public “evidence” to reject their ban, even though Anti-Cheat gathers much more undeniable evidence of cheating than the evidence that is publicly shared or included in a report.
exaIt should also be noted that publicizing a potential suspect has no impact on how quickly a case gets handled by RGL AC. This is done to keep the evidence-gathering procedure as unbiased and untampered as possible. It also prevents AC from potentially issuing a ban without full confidence behind the ban. RGL AC will only ever issue a ban if we are fully confident in the evidence we gather.
