Life In 19x19

Another AI cheating case, and another 1-year ban: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202203/1255011.shtml

Part of the problem with going easy on punishments for cheating is that it sets the precedent for future cases.

Seems the standard is, if you cheat, you get a one year break and then you're back at it, again. This really degrades the significance of go tournaments IMO.
