With this continued demonstration by Herman on his attitude I shall modify
my ruling that I presented in a previous post:

If I ever notice the name Herman de Wael on a list of competitors at an
event conducted by me I shall in advance issue a notification (Law 81C2)
that I consider DWS illegal and forbid its use. 

I shall further advice that on the first occasion I become aware DWS has
demonstrably been applied I shall use my powers under Law 91A to suspend the
contestant using it, such suspension will last for the rest of the current
session. 

I consider such penalty to be justified for any contestant that deliberately
violates any law where a violation comes rather close to cheating, even
after being warned and told these consequences.
