  Lighter moment had a hero decide to pee on my wall, and due to a presumably small member splash himself?  Looks and obvious restart to me even if not that crash hot?  WGT can check it out:

  Give it up guys, WGT decided to shut him down, no point making noise regarding this subject, they found just cause - nothing you can do about it, just wasting time debating/arguing.

  It's interesting how many players read the forum, but never (or very rarely) comment. The default is to post on a player's profile page. This has happened to me quite often. Their comments are sometimes supportive, sometimes not...but never done in here. We? have also seen players never before heard of, hi jack a thread to lash out. No relevance to the topic or the facts.

  ...odd thing

  I think you must have edited your original post.  No matter go with above:

  Absolutely not.

  I wouldn't do that without marking it as edited, and even then I'd more likely re-post and clarify or explain anything that I thought needed it.  I really think to just change a post I'd made, and that had been answered, would be completely unfair to the respondee.

  To be charitable it could be that you missed one or more of my posts, especially when the thread was busy, because of the vagaries of moderation :-). 

  As to the rest, I too give up.

  No issues.  

  Like I say too much choppy meter and too much who knows what as freezes involved made the round invalid apart from result, and the result score had nothing to do wth the point of the ban anyway.........I wish WGT well with the SSs, but IMHO pretty shambolic so far.  Spotting the bleeding obvious after 18 months + and then this is not good.  Hope they got the small percentile they could consider right (eventually and IMO).............This thread is long done  though.

  Just 2 cents post for me, my english is too weak to develop more

  I don't know the case of q, i don't know if he cheat or not

  All i see is wgt bannish 2 germans and one american and it's about all ?

  I was hoping they bannish hundreds of players at least

  Those staying at lower tier volontary, multi account guys, those using cheat  program to  slow the meter, those using auto ding and maybe others thing, everything is possible with cheaters. 

  Cheating is almost a religion on wgt

  They may well have banished hundreds of players, there's no way of knowing. The two players from Germany and one from the USA that you have mentioned were all very prominent and visible players, active in competitions and in their CC with many WGT friends.

  I believe many of the people on WGT who like to cheat do not desire to be so visible, do not have many friends and are not even in a CC. They like to fly under the radar and so if players like that have been removed from the site it's not certain there are many who would even notice, let alone publicly stick up for them.

  @Wutpa

  I fully agree...much as in real life, when dishonest intent is mixed with ego, the chosen path usually ends, abruptly. There is no question that staying under the radar leads to longevity.

  Q's case was more ironic than the other hi flyers, because he would post his disdain for cheating in the forum.

  The most logical conclusion one can draw is that Q was banned strictly on suspicion of cheating, when the fact is that he was just really, really good at the game.  It's as if MLB had said to Hank Aaron, "You're hitting home runs and driving in runs at a much greater rate than your peers.  Our only recourse is to ban you from the game because you must be cheating."

  But the race is run, the horse is dead, however one wants to put it...and wgt lacks the character and the integrity to admit they might have made a mistake.
