Andreas - I think one of the most important things that would be nice to
go with this is a unique identifier.

In the CS world, we found it was effective to have any cheaters banned
permanently, as if they are caught with a cheat once it's clear they
will likely be back the next week with an undetectable cheat. Only by
making it clear that any cheats result in a permanent ban did we
effectively reduce the level (somewhat).

Are there any plans for banning by CD key?

thanks!
