This situation is by no way comparable with the cinebench desaster. Hwbot partially was responsible for this by making cr.... rules. It was not mandatory to show the rendered image, neither in parts or in full and apart from a paragraph at general rules there was no hint on file editing (people should have known better, but loophole searcher are what we see all the time). We have no time measurement and no validation file at cinebench, and in fact banning people would have been a good idea, but the simple question of whom to ban, whom not and the high possibility of error lead to noone being banned because proof was really hard to get.
I think hwbot learned from this, and it is no matter of Elite, extreme or enthusiast league. We applied a lot of bans last nine months, more than we wanted, and it did hit high ranked guys/ known ocers from all leagues now. Wish we could handle this differently, but like in all sports and competition cheat happens, and all we can do is to apply the rules. Minor violation, minor sentence, big cheat, long ban.
