This is a tool, not an authority. There's not going to be a council that finally judges players, only a group of people checking and sorting reports. The only criteria for being in that group is that they're known and trusted not to screw around (randomly change report status / make things up) and preferably they know how to spot cheats. But even if they're unsure of something, others can look at the details and give feedback in comments.
When a report is moved to "confirmed", the person doing so is required to leave a comment, where preferably they'll explain what happened and where in the demo (such as "super obvious speeding 8mr" and so on).
The generated blacklists are available for those who are confident in this system, but it isn't meant to affect anyone who doesn't care to use it. Of course, I would like people to have confidence in this and use it, which means I have an interest in making sure this is an open/transparent tracking and discussion platform for the community to use, not a place to form a group apart from or above the community who makes decisions about who should be banned or anything like that.
Basically, this is just a better version of the forum threads we already have. Who are these people reporting cheaters? Are they experts? How do we know? Sometimes they get it wrong or leave out some information and we discuss and clarify things. This system is only to better organize all this information and discussion and make it easy to use the results (blacklists).
