If you don't get rating points for victories against cheats won't it cause rating deflation?
Assuming that most removed players are above 1200, they've taken points off other players to get there, therefore when the go *poof* - these lost point are never regained and just disappear off the face of RHP/TFC/CAW/PTIG.
I think we get rating inflation when som games and they end up with a rating of 635, meanwhile others are scooping undeserved gains!
If we had beaten them without an engine, we may have got a couple points... but how many? There is no way to know the true rating of the cheater.
You could play a hundred games against cheats, feel your rating is now 'off'... but your rating is what it is... it will always normalize after a few games, because that is your true rating regardless of whom you've been playing.

I crushed a cheat before he cheated... and it makes me wonder if he started to cheat because he thought I WAS cheating... view my first couple games here, and view that user's graph.
I should have got 7 zillion points!

Wouldn't that be nice. Seeing your rating go up a couple of points everytime a cheater is kicked out.
I might hit 1900 eventually without ever playing a game on here again.

I was playing with Ah Boy from Afghanistan then suddenly I won for resignation, and a message appeared "Player banned - game won"...how does it happen that a player is banned? what should he do? And especially: WHY DIDN'T THEY GIVE ME THE BONUS POINTS FOR MY WIN??...😏Game 2707424

Where (what page / how) did you find it? I used to know where to find it, but couldn't find it anywhere after searching the front page, and site map.

Found one... Site Map / Support / Merchandise.

This may seem like a useless question but how can you tell if someone is cheating? besides maybe an unbelievable score, call me stupid, (not literally now) but how does somebody even cheat on this site? Seems useless to cheat in a recreational game, its not like your chess rating is going to make you cool or something haha
