> After this rating drop a lot on a player it should trigger a manual/automatic ban

I once heard of a game that instead of banning cheaters, isolated them together in a separate bucket. Cheaters could still play… amongst themselves.

This went pretty terribly for Fall Guys[0] because the moment a false positive slips through, and then that player posts their clip of a game with close to 100% cheaters on Twitter or Reddit, it exacerbates their image of a game with a serious cheating problem. Everyone saw a game taking place jam packed with cheaters and it became a PR problem they had to overcome.
