When I played I would record demo's and just stop the demo before map change if I didn't have anything noteworthy happen. This whole process took me about all of two seconds maybe 10 more if i had to rebind h because I did happen to catch something.Most players don't have anything bound for recording demos, or even think to manually do it during the event (whatever it may be - other players hacking, avoiding kicks, etc).
But I was doing it for recreational purposes, admins shouldn't be on trial 24/7. If you can't trust your admins to behave without being under video surveillance they probably shouldn't be admins to begin with.
And I'm not suggesting this due to mistrust of admins, but more of ensuring the playerbase doesn't have to get into arguments based on their word versus an admins if something happens. Admins have made mistakes in the past; mandatory demos would be a step to ensuring that the facts can be brought out prior to 3 page threads of arguing. A second step would be a web form on the main page to deal with admin issues (disputing bans, reporting abuse, etc) that shoots an email to DF and the other admins rather than holding open court in Problems/Help.
