And in general: they made a fuss out of nothing!:smile31: I don't see anything terrible in what happened: whether to play with him or not is now up to each individual. That's all!

:) This is only the case if he remains under his old nickname - WHICH is what we're talking about!!! If he logs in not as ShadowMen but as SuperMen, many might happily rush to compete in strength with Superman :) It will be difficult for him under his old nickname, but apparently he hopes to prove that he is capable of more than just cheating.

But he can participate in discussions, write topics, do something for the forum...

What's the point of all that if the guy wanted to try his best to win the tournament at all costs? In this case, after being disqualified, there is only one way - to change his nickname and start over on the forum. And what is the difference - a ban or a disqualification? I don't see it.

And what about a ban? A ban means get out of the forum. In my opinion, the difference is quite significant.

There is no difference. He should definitely change his nickname. And then there are two paths - to leave this forum and go to another, or to log in here again.
