Recently, a post appeared on the GTA forum accusing a user of SniksGames for using cheats: (https://www.speedrun.com/gta/thread/hpgv0)

Let's take a detailed look at the attached evidence:

1. This video clearly shows that the game is sped up. BUT! This is not a reason to ban a user for using cheats, as this run has not been uploaded to speedrun.com. The term “Presumption of innocence” fits very well here. The player could just (for himself) play with the cheats, but until he uploaded his mileage to the site, he is not considered guilty.
2. The second proof is much more interesting and more complicated. This run has been uploaded to the site in the IL category. In this video, it is difficult to determine whether the game was sped up here or the player simply forgot to turn on the “Frame Limiter”. Again, if this is the second, then this is not a reason to ban the player. We tried to ask one of the moderators (cchwz) about this moment, but we did not receive an intelligible answer. I think this episode should be watched more carefully. And if there is a use of cheats here, then it should be clear to everyone.

In general about the situation: Ban user SniksGames FOREVER I consider unreasonable. The player has been playing without cheats for two years and absolutely all the full runs that were published on the site in the NMG category were legal. It seems to me that even if the use of cheats in the BS mission is confirmed, then this is not a reason to ban the user forever.
