If they (alleged cheaters) can hold that level of play with dedicated clients, i think apologies are in order. :)

The important thing is that lot of players (that are suspected of cheating, or even been bl for cheating) can clear their names simply by playing at their usual level with dedicated acwc clients. All win.
P.S. Thank you Larry for doing this and community for supporting this great idea with (so far) 25 to 0 in favor of dedicated clients.
Problem: Dedicated client != cheater free. If they're any good, they know how to mem hack. Just sayin'.
As far as the dis-allowing or freezing spectating by benched players goes, awesome idea.
I wouldn't sign up even if I was allowed (not that level of player) but I figured I'd toss in some points.
EDIT (To prevent taking over the thread): @Wolf: They can certainly view the coding and they can work around it with mem-hacking but they can't physically modify the code of the client unless you provided them with the source. And mem-hacking isn't a noob's game, they'd have to be pretty good.
