Originally posted by 1b3Sites like ICC and Playchess for example? Both of which ban cheats when they are found. Part of the reason why people pay money to play on those sites instead of say Yahoo is because of the fact they ban cheats. On playchess I tend to be around 1950ish slow rating and I only play 60+ min games, without some control of cheats most of my games would be against engines but as it turns out its really very few since the cheats are flagged.
Why are people so obsessed with cheaters? who cares if they cheat.
It's not like we are at the World open here people.
This site and others like it, is designed to improve your chess.
Worry about improving. And so what if one game out of your 30 is an engine user.
Also to say that maybe 1 in 30 of the top users in here would use engines if there wasnt some form of mod activity is just silly, the percentage would be much higher.

Apparently they intended to 3b all those who called them names, all folk with a rating over 2000 and RN for being RN and Russ decided that may be unfair as then we would not have any black sheep left if they got rid of RN.
are you a mod and if so why have you disbanded, or have you, why is everyone so worried? are they scared you will stop catching cheats? those guys are their own worst enemies, its like a kind of self delusion, a façade, an unreality call it what you will and essentially they are cowards, too scared to face the metal of an opponent in single mind to mind combat, they will never progress in understanding or strength and miss the entire beauty of chess, winning for them become the be all and end all, yes its fun to win and losing is not so much fun, but ultimately winning by foul means must be the biggest losing of all.
