It does not mean they use it online. where I play, this is how it's done to catch cheaters, to learn their tricks... and FS policy means all of my community are now what - cheaters?
Don't "more excuses" me: In the end the game is theirs, computer is mine. If I happen to install a cheat and immediately delete it after one offline use - I get banned anyway despite not using it online? Morality detector: this is not fair. In the end: yes, mind police. Over the boundary in this scenario, FS!
If you read the thread, you'd know that it has been stated that with the method used ONLY cheaters got banned who used a cheat ONLINE (and on a server with activated auth).

All I am saying: there were legit reasons (sometimes, others cheat, off course). There were cheaters, still are, do catch them, please. Cannot differentiate them? Start afresh and with strict AC implementation in the next version. So that the rules are set and clear... then there can be no excuse.
Legit reasons to cheat on servers? Tell me more about that.

Nevermind the cheaters (I still feel everyone should have a chance to start afresh if FS decides to set such rules), I am talking about admins here. You've gotta trust someone: or at least set the rules for the future, not today and implement them for the past (retroactive implementation is not fair).
If your AC is really 100%, such strict ex tunc (retroactive) actions are not needded - you will cacth them on the next connection. Why have you done so? Conclusion: it is not 100%. If it's not: I honestly believe you've made at least one mistake.
The rules were set before this AC was online, so it is no retroactive punishment at all. Or was it ever allowed to modify the game and use cheats? I don't think so.
It's just that there is a new method of busting cheaters now and if you read the thread, you'd know that it was only possible to catch that many cheaters because nobody knew about AC beforehand. Because if that had been the case, hackers would've had the possibilities to "hide" the traces of their cheats.

The "if you've done nothing wrong, you should not fear it (you will not be affected)" is absolutely wrong. What woul dhappen if this was the moto in legislative proceedings? Remember the Nazis (or mind police)? Just sayin', no offence intended.
And what is the thing with people finding analogies to Hitler? The nazi-regime is in no way related to a simple AC implementation.
