I am interested in all that you have to say about this, but consider this point:
Solution 1: Don't deal with cheaters.
People know that SigMonkey stats are only worth the honesty of the owner of the stats. SigMonkey is used more as a ranking and guideline tool, and its stats aren't outright trusted from an unknown indidividual unless the stats look credible compared to his/hers activity and sig. Pretty much the same as everything else in this industry. You have to lay some reasoning behind your decisions instead of trusting a mere script and a two-man team to lay it out for you.
Solution 2: Hunt down cheaters.
The system will have less cheaters of course, but with todays sophisticated hitbots, it is simply impossible to catch them all. The dumb cheaters get caught, the smart cheaters prosper, because people lay much more validity and trust in SigMonkey stats. What's more, the responsibility will automatically be laid upon us, the AG team, in case someone screws someone else over with fake SigMonkey stats. Instead of directing all anger towards the culprit, SigMonkey will take its share as well, because we "were supposed to prevent it."

You don't have to hunt down cheaters. Just take a look at an account when something seems fishy or when someone makes an accusation. If things don't look right, terminate the account. |
