Greed, no offense, but you don't know ****. There were 8 admins involved in the decision, most of which have more than 3k hours and have been part of the Mercenaries admin team for years already, most of which have been part of several cheating investigations which resulted in more than 25 cheaters banned in the past two years. Now, most of these very same admins that you so confidently say that aren't experienced enough probably play better than you despite playing the game for fun, and not only that at least 3 of them are archers and just so you know there's one of them that was part of the Native scene and playing tournaments roughly around the same time you registered in this forum, so before you start acting entitled about a topic YOU think you're right I'd suggest you inform yourself first, you're starting to look like the Sun.

Anubis said he'd record his gameplay for as long as it took to prove his innocence while everyone else accused has basically been a spoiled brat about it.
This rings a bell... Oh, that's right!

SirAlecks: onto a perfect targeted position
SirAlecks: is normal?
Anu: i'm god
SirAlecks: Yes, I'm sure your performances these last 2 days since the admin team has spoken with you can prove that.
SirAlecks: Oh wait, your K/D has been reduced

SirAlecks: And you are overall less effective
Anu: wait wait
Anu: i don't want to listen you anymore

And there's much more from where that comes if you want...
Now, it's also
VERY INTERESTING that you bring Menethil's case into the table. You see, I'll paste something that I said in the Mercenaries forums and then I'll head with my point...
"
...but most of you haven't even seen an aimbotter in one of your games, let alone catch one[...] And insulting their experience when they've personally been part of multiple "operations" to ban 100% legit cheaters when most of you have absolutely no idea of what even most of the features of these aimbots have or how they work is ridiculous in my eyes."
You see Greed, just because you're a very experienced player that doesn't mean you know everything, especially if it comes down to reviewing something that you're not used to do. Not everybody has encountered an aimbotter whilst playing a casual game in Warband, let alone a competitive one. And Menethil, while being a really smart guy and one of the best turkish lads I know he didn't know how to properly review the evidences that were sent to him in the first place and claimed nothing fishy was going on, now when I explained him what were the key points to watch for, or what specifics you had to look at, he changed his opinion rather quick and agreed with me that his shots where pretty sketchy and while some of them where perfectly viable by experienced archers it was not the fact that they couldn't be achieved, it was the fact that Anubis was able to replicate said shots 3, 4 and even 5 times in a
single life on a Siege or a Battle map whilst Menethil would hit those shots once every 4 MATCHES. And you can ask him yourself or I can give you the full conversation. And on top of that ANOTHER top tier archer just told agreed that most of the evidence provided plus his experience leads him to believe on what's been said.
And listen, I don't think Anubis is by any means a bad archer, but he
UNDENIABLY cheated for whatever reasons that were, when he was ASKED (he didn't volunteer, I feel that's a point to be made) to provide counter proof he wasn't able to replicate even a good 20% of the stuff we had previously witnessed when he wasn't informed that we were reviewing and spectating him because of cheating. Not only that and like it's written in the chat logs he was completely dominating on the servers with insane stats, but from the moment he was informed that he was being watched because we had reports of him being an aimbotter his stats dropped from Holy sh** to Impressive ones but nowhere near the levels he had before. I can, aswell, give you the specifics if you want, feel free to ask me (Already gave 'em yesterday) so it would be copy and paste. I must also add that he promised me a video that could've helped him quite a lot actually that was one game from whatever gamemode from first and third person (from spec) overlapped, he even had one of his WFAS friends come bother me about it on Steam and guess what, that video was never sent, either because he eventually knew he deserved it or because he saw himself that it looked nothing like we had so they didn't bothered... Who knows, but judging by the fact that Anubis seems to keep sending me sporadic videos of good gameplay from TG_Arena I'd put my bucks on the latter.
All in all, it's alright because if my memory doesn't fail me it's not like you or someone from your circle actually called out one or two members from AE as cheaters back in 2012-13ish? It's not like your previous experiences has a lot to back up what you say... So I'd kindly ask you that next time, instead of mocking the work of people that only cared for the benefit of the mod they help and administrate for and based their opinion and final decision around facts & investigation, unlike you, that you shut your mouth and think twice before you post anything that you can't back up with facts, although we both know that's probably not gonna happen, it's not like we've had this situation like twice already..?
Hmm... I wonder what would've hapenned if Anubis wasn't part of Wolfpack, I mean, last time you went ham on Darklight and asked for tons of proofs just because 4 dumb salty players believed he cheated... #DoubleStandardsYo
