SAM cheaters should be DISQUALIFIED

Title says all.

Even worse, some folks have automated the process: create free accounts, use Steam Achievement Manager (TF2, Spiral Knights), & macro wishlist. Those are free entries to the grand prize without buying/playing a game.

(In before the excuses drop (e.g. too busy, too old, have a girlfriend/boyfriend/sheep, etc.))

That part isn't much of a problem. Multiple accounts are disqualified, are they not?

That's not hard if they have 0.1 playtime and unlocked all of the achievements at the same time... (assuming that you need to run games in order to use SAM)

I'm sure if you're smart enough to create a bot to generate accounts, you're probably not dumb enough to make such a lousy mistake.

Who is SAM? And "cheating" the summer achievements, pfft... It take less than 10 minutes to achieve them anyway and it's a probability that you and I wont win anyway.

I agree with the OP. I hope Valve's already considered this and taken the steps.
