Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

"V. PUTIN: If you allow me, I will immediately express my opinion. I am sure that the vast majority of those in the hall will support me. Of course, we must be tough and consistent, but we must always act only within the framework of the law. This is a difficult task for investigative bodies, inquiry agencies, and courts – to work competently, professionally, and to bring the case to a final decision. Why am I saying this? Because in many corruption-related offenses, generally in the economy, the process of proving guilt is quite complex, and passing court rulings, court verdicts just because we are sure that a person committed a crime but could not gather enough evidence is not allowed, otherwise we will slide back into the year 1937 – that is the crux of the matter."

"If you allow me, I will immediately express my opinion. I am sure that the vast majority of those on the forum will support me. Of course, we must be tough, consistent, and act only within the framework of the rules, but we cannot neglect basic logic either, comparing the evidence, even if circumstantial, to obtain a clear picture. This is a difficult task for the AC – to work competently, professionally, and to bring the case to a final decision. Why am I saying this? Because in many cases of rule violations, generally in Heroes 3 the process of proving guilt is quite complex, sometimes decisions can only be made because the AC is sure that a person violated the rules, since 100% evidence will never be available here, especially if it concerns maphack, otherwise we will slide back to 2010 – to the case with ATG, that is the crux of the matter. And please unban Oelm."
