I think it would be harsh to punish a whole team when some of us have played fairly and wouldnt know if anyone had cheated or not

...it’s just hard to imagine anyone actually, deliberately ‘cheating’, so it’s thinking if there could be an explanation for two teams having it incorrect, which would make sense...but I agree with Annie, completely...speak to those people who gave those answers, so that they can explain..?...rather than assume something more negative...

The people doing it (if they are doing it) it might just be coincidence, it is not in the OP and no one trawls through pages of guff for the rules.
Maybe give the benefit of the doubt but now everyone knows.

So:
I have been on my tablet and I used the "Search Google for this image" -option on the pictures. I have come to realize that it is apparently the Google reverse image search as a standard/default image search in tablet/mobile devices (or just Android devices?) which I somehow did not realize/know and just went with it cause it gave me such good results and was so easy to do. I don't think it's a standard on non-mobile devices such as PC, right? I have come to realize it is illegal and wrong and I will accept the consequences and I apologise to everyone for the convenience. It was an honest mistake(s). Sorry.

My fees for helping teams are quite steep, I doubt you could afford me

Honestly, I think the fairest thing to do would be to just issue a final general warning to all teams, as it seems the issue is one of confusion rather than malice or intent.

I'd have thought it was common knowledge that the reason it takes so long to put this game together is to try and minimalise the utility of google-reverse-searching. It's not like this is a new or unexplained rule...
I can see why some teams do it - hell it might even have been a rule I put in place against myself, because back in the first pub quiz Matt (the BBSpy Matt) was on our team and opened my eyes to the world of quiz hacks - because it can be something to try and get Google to lead you down the right path like giving you the actress' name, or pointing out a costume, but it also puts you at risk of just getting the answer immediately and that isn't fair. The whole point of the quiz is to use your own initiative and look at an image that's stumping you and try to scour it for clues. "Is that [actor's name]? Let's look at their filmography". "That looks like a volcano erupting, let's google films about volcanoes". "There can't be many music videos with men on tricycles... let's google" etc. Just putting in the exact image and asking Google to do all the work is silly and counter-productive to what a quiz should be.

If we finished last place because everyone google-imaged every clue in every round I'd be ok with that, because it's actually been a break from the mundane run of the mill forum, and I've enjoyed the distraction of playing the game with my teammates, more than I'm bothered by where we place. Again. really not trying to downplay or undercut smithy and the work involved in these things, but everyone knows where they are now, and I think it would be a shame to either kick teams out or remove members at this stage.
