Why not prohibit delegates from participating in a competition that they're providing scrambles for altogether? It's not like the ref. of a soccer match can just punt a goal that actually counts.

Poor analogy. Refs get paid to officiate matches, that is the ONLY reason they are there. Delegates are not paid. If a delegate cannot compete then why would they sacrifice their time and money to go to a competition?
Which someone? The delegate could just get their cheating friend to "generate" them. I think we just have to trust in our current system, if we need to make up some complex method to ensure trust in scrambles, what is the point of the delegate?Couldn't scrambles be provided more or less "last minute" by someone that isn't a participant then?
Premoves would not solve the problem cause delegate can do the already known scramble backwards, which would result in a 5-move-far-from-solved position.
I know a lot of you may think that Sebastien's punishment is to lenient, maybe it is but this is without taking into consideration of the underlying consequences of this scandal that he is going to have to carry with him long after he has served his ban, he is going to have quite a cross to bear for the rest of his life.
I love the idea of the "Salt" algorithm (where does that word come from anyway?).

The fact that situations like this happen so infrequently proves that the system works.
Not if the WCA chooses the other person. Delegate could get the scrambles in an encrypted zip-file, the other chosen person could get the password.
This is good idea.
How about having two delegates on each competition, the WCA board send the encrypted zip file scrambles to one delegate , and send the another one the password?
lol, could you PLEASE refer to the right person? Thank you!
How do you know that it *happens* infrequently? All I can see is that it is *detected* infrequently. How does that prove that the system works?
Stefan, I think your reply was very rude and patronizing. I don’t know that it happens infrequently, no one can really say for sure. I was attempting to voice my opinion and I got slapped down in doing so. Thank you very much.
You're a Storm Trooper, you can stomach harder shots than that right?
He's got a point though...
Stormtroopers cannot take shots fullstop!!! No matter where we get hit we always go down! I don't know why we even bother with armour!
Stefan might have a point but he get it across without being so arrogant!!!
