BAR's automated ban system handles leavers with auto-extensions. Smurfs get caught by eco patterns that do not match their chevron level.

Beyond All Reason runs an automated leaver ban system. When a player leaves a ranked match, they receive a temporary ban. If they leave again while already banned, the ban extends automatically. No manual moderator action is required.
This keeps public lobbies functional without tying up staff time. The system penalizes repeat offenders harder than first-time leavers, which is the correct incentive design.
BAR smurfs reveal themselves through economic execution. A chevron 1 player running perfect eco scaling and build orders that match 18 to 25 OS rating players stands out immediately. The community tracks these patterns through the lobby, replay site, and spectator tools.
Perfect economy management takes hundreds of games to develop. When a new account displays it, moderators and experienced players notice fast. Some players practice eco execution in AI matches or through tutorial videos before entering ranked play with new accounts, but the gap between theory and live execution against real opponents usually gives them away.
Smurf accounts skew matchmaking for everyone in their lobbies. New players get crushed by experienced opponents hiding behind low chevron levels. Meanwhile the smurf player gets no meaningful improvement by stomping games far below their actual skill.
Creed of Champions requires honest rating and genuine effort from all members. Competitive improvement comes from playing at your actual level, not from hiding on an alt account to farm easy wins. The community values discipline, and that includes playing by the rules when no one forces you to.
[Crd] The first and only community I have seen that actually holds up to its values. I have honestly not had a single bad experience here.
