I'm sorry but I don't see how it is going to work with a one-time time of a few bucks. Say there are 1000 people paying $5 that's only $5000. This cheater database needs to be updated daily, doesn't it? otherwise it would lose its effectiveness, if there was a delay in listing cheaters then the cheaters would still win.
For this project to cover costs, it would have to be monthly. Otherwise how would it cover its costs over time and be effective.
But I do think that tgps should also have to pay to use the system, since they benefit as well. TGPs should also be held accountable for who they list as a cheater. What is to stop someone who gets blacklisted from submitting and is pissed off at alot of tgps so he starts his own piddly ass tgp and starts saying so and so is a cheater, etc. just to get even?
I mean I see peoples blacklists from time to time and they are so out of date, it makes me wonder their effectiveness. Cheaters don't keep cheating with the same domain, they've got tons of them. It makes me wonder sometimes how these cheaters do it. Its like they come up with 10 new domains for 1 that gets blacklisted.
Plus I don't see how you cannot include freehosts on this cheater list, everyone talks about this verification fee as just a cost of doing business, well then you might as well add in the cost of paying for a host, too. Neither the tgp owner or tgp submitter has any control over what the freehost does, if someone pays to verify who they are they run the risk of getting screwed by an unscrupulous freehost (even though that is their own risk). But is it fair to blacklist someone for life (theoretically) because something their freehost did without their knowledge?
