Our Song Festival
Cheating Incidents
In this thread, all cheating incidents will be recorded and strikes will be announced.
Several Cheating Incidents
Two cheating incidents were recorded in the 4th edition of Our Song Festival.
The first one was the disqualification of Austria and Germany.
The Austrian and German's players' posts were similar on appearance and close on time. The moderators were asked and they responded that the two users log in to the forums using the exact same coordinates. Additionally, Austria awarded to Germany, and Germany awarded to Austria. The consequences for the users will be:
oesterreich
Permanent ban from the competition.
escmike
Permanent ban from the competition as well.
A second incident was prevented by the council as well.
As said in the confirmation thread:

As said in the confirmation thread:
There is a quite long story behind their participation, but for typical reasons, they'll be receiving a strike for failing to send an entry, and their HoD will lose the nation.
A severe incident almost occured as well.

put me in your conversation with sorkosOct 1, 2017 17:31:22 GMT 1 zachh said:
I have delete this because I didn't want to hack (αν δεν με πιστεύεις ρωτα τους moderators οτι δεν εχω ςγω το προφίλ)I wasn't born yesterday, I don't believe that sorkos is a "hack" account. Although I'm pretty sure that sorkos is you or a friend of yours and that voting patterns would occur, I cannot accusse you of cheating due to the lack of evidence. You are being accused of trying to take in advantage your position in the council and break a rule to bring someone in the contest, and that won't stay unsanctioned. So, these consequences will follow:
Permanent ban from the competition.
- Removal from the council.
- Loss of Sweden.
- Permanent ban from the competition (I just want to be fair with everyone, and since I banned escmike it is fair to ban you as well).
WE WILL BE VERY STRICT WITH CHEATING IN THE FUTURE, DO NOT ATTEMPT IT.
I hope that these bans will work as a lesson to everyone and that we can have a fair-play Our Song Festival.
