Innocent users are the only ones that will get caught up by this anymore, the cheaters already worked around this(https://github.com/nullifiedcat/catbot-setup/commit/c2d22ee9...). Yes, cheaters were the first to report it because they were the first to experience it.

Sad that you don't defend the innocent because you deemed them hypothetical.

He/she didn't deem them hypothetical. They are hypothetical until a legitimate user that doesn't use bots makes the claim that they were banned for this. According to updates made to this, the username wasn't even the source of the ban so these "innocents" are definitely hypothetical.

Botters can ruin a very fun game completely. It may seem too far, but if a botter self identifies why not take them at their word?
