"Cheaters are rarely banned immediately" - Online community reacts to the streamer's clip

Symfuhny's encounter with a cheater in Call of Duty: Warzone was amongst the top posts on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit. According to Redditor u/Moifaso, anti-cheat systems "only ban" people who have been identified as cheaters. They added that hackers are "rarely banned immediately" after getting detected:

"Cheaters are rarely banned immediately after detection since that gives the cheat makers a lot of information about what part of their code is getting picked up by the anti-cheat."
