RE: SPS Governance Proposal: Update Terms Of Service To Prohibit Use Of Battle Helpers in Modern Ranked, Tourneys, and Brawls

in #spslast year (edited)

in a competition, clear guidelines are first of all important. the implementation is secondary. in many sports, for example, doping is forbidden, although there is no proper implementation to detect it. Findings are more by chance or on suspicion. to catch everyone, you would have to do doping tests on everyone every few weeks, all year round, this is impossible. nevertheless, you need the rules to have a benchmark of what is fair in this competition.
if someone wins. why did he win? because he is the better player? because he has bought the better tool? etc etc
you can't even say this because there are no ground rules.

that's why we need this proposal to lay the groundwork for what is fair, what is our competition, etc. etc.

murder is forbidden everywhere in the world. are there measures to prevent every murder? no there are not! should murder therefore be allowed?

Well said Bronko. I will use this analogy myself now. Thank you for making it and thank you for not only understanding the issues, but spending your time and energy to make great points like this!
