Artem, do you remember?
No matter how the Cheater Mark of Shame is awarded, it indicates a violation of fair play rules.
I will stick to my opinion. The Cheater Mark of Shame is just a red flag, not only for the organizer, but for everyone!!!! Player X messed up then and there, for this and that. Everyone knows, everyone sees. But Vasya will play with him and will continue to play, Kolya doesn't care about anything or anyone, and Ivan is principled and doesn't care about Player X. If I try to take into account the personal opinion of even all my 23 players, my brain will melt. Why do I need that? They told me a couple of times: "It's a matter of principle, can it be fixed?" The answer is: yes, no problem! That's all.
I don't think the wording you suggest should be introduced. (I understood the poll approximately as you wrote it).
Freedom for the organizers!!!! We are, after all, reasonable people, and if not, this can be resolved through ISQ, PM, or something else. AK in the end.
In the end, regulation can and should be done, in my opinion, through the official/unofficial nature of the tournaments.
It is not written down, as far as I can read on the forum. I try to do this regularly, and during my time working at the cafe - April 2008 / May 2009 - I read almost all the messages in the online 3 section.
I doubt I could have missed a post with a phrase like, for example, the tournament "Selection for the Final Battle X" was agreed with the Creator as official, and from this date has such status.
Peace!!!
