It works very simply. When CipSoft releases a ticker saying there was a delete wave, I update my files with the names on the experience highscores of every server. I can do that after the news because the accounts are only deleted 8 days after the wave (they remain banished until then). After the 8 days, I run a script to check if those characters exist. If they don't, they were deleted. No character can be caught because of name changes because the name still works for 6 months, my window is a week.
Please note that being on this list does not mean the caracter was deleted because of cheating. There's a chance it was not deleted on the delete date (he could be already scheduled) or was even deleted on the same week some other reason. If you want to check when the character was deleted, check the Tibia-Stats deleted list. You can also find proof the character existed on fansites like GuildStats, ExHiTi, TibiaML and possibly others, not to mention Google.
