No problem. You might want to go back and delete those posts if you still can. Better than a forum ban.
3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to :
(a) You will not create more than one account.
(b) While a game is in progress you may not refer to chess engines, chess computers or be assisted by a third party. Endgame tablebases may not be consulted during play but you may reference books, databases consisting of previously played games between human players, and other pre-existing research materials."
Technically, suggesting a gentleman's draw might be considered a violation especially if the player was losing; in this instance the player wasn't seeking advice... just blowing off steam. Marginal infraction, nonetheless. Thanks again.
Originally posted by white boy bobI doubt that one aggrieved opponent's unsubstantiated accusation is sufficient to get you blacklisted.
someone who's losing a game can just throw a fit, accuse me of cheating, and blacklist me and I have no recourse? (Mott the Hoople!)
I was having a good game for once.. you ruined my whole night. I am not a cheater.
Originally posted by moonbusIf "blacklisting" is meant to mean being put on a persons ignore list it could well be that a single suspicion will get a person there. But that is ot relevant in the big image...

Originally posted by Great Big SteesIt seems that there are no game moderators anymore. Some suspicions have been aired about (mostly) the top players on the site, but nothiung happened. In fact threads in which games and engine use were discussed lived much longer than they used to.
Have people changed or is it that the Mods are a little more "forgiving"?
