If you scan your opponent and find that he is a multi, you wouldn't feel obligated to ban him right then and there? You'd wait until the game is over (possibly weeks later) to ban him, by which point he could have stolen several games from other players? How would you explain that to the affected CC community members? "Sorry, didn't want to get accused of mod abuse?"
Of course any multi-hunter should immediately ban offenders. But regular users find out during the course of a game that they are dealing with a possible multi, report it and still lose their points. Masli it seems sniffs them out before a single turn is taken, within minutes. If you are going to do a multi-check within seconds or minutes after a games has started, you might as well do it before the game starts. No, multi-hunters so not have to scan every potential opponent they are entering a game with but if they intend to scan them right after the game begins then I think that is wrong. He has won a large number of games this way.
I am not passing any judgment, I am happy to wait for the internal investigation to be completed, even if that takes 3 or more weeks, I understand this takes time. But I do think there should be a place in the forums where people can go to check what the status is, even if that would be in a locked thread in the C&A forum to remind everyone this is being looked into and it will not be swept under the carpet.
