It will only stop those who get caught. It will also stop a few other innocents who get caught up in valve bugs. This is why I want the option to use VAC, but not use the banlist. What is wrong with that option? I would rather let a few cheaters past, and let my admins ban them than ban a few innocents. > Valve is run by thinking individuals.
