You cannot permaban a cheater for the saame reason you shouldn't have death penalty, people need to be able to challenge the decision which should trigger a process
As a piece of software, I highly doubt there isn't a single bug in VAC that would cause a false-positive
shadowbanning to cheater-only servers sounds like nice middle ground to me
Fall Guy did that. The consequence was a lot of videos with everyone cheating.
so...it's a win/win?
League of Legends was evil for this. I got shadowbanned to rhe quitters server for having a bad internet connection, and parents who'd demand I go buy groceries instantly, and yell if I fon't.
