Maybe that's the answer to stop cheating, then.

Put in the TOS that by subscribing, you're agreeing if you're "convicted" of cheating by a panel of unbiased RHP players after careful consideration of the evidence and a chance to defend yourself, you're out and you don't get your money back.

There's no reason why such a provision wouldn't be binding.

But that would probably open Russ up to all sorts of complications. If he refunds the $'s then there's less legal risk, I would think. Otherwise, he'd at least get hit with challenges via the credit card companies.

Why is it ridiculous?If no refund a site owner might find himself in a courtroom trying to prove the user really did cheat.A not so appealing prospect.
It's why I think bannings aren't so effective(they come back anyway).A better system would be to tag them and prohibit from tournaments.But that's just my opinion.

But at least you destroy all their acomplishments and force them to start from the bottom again - eventually people would tire of that sort of thing.

People tire, but the engines don't!

Establish a field in which every player (member or not) can use engines;

Establish a field for members only (non-engine users) and another for members only (engine users);

Do not return the money!

Establish mix fields as mentioned above;

Reward me for my bright ideas with three free 1 year subscriptions, which I will pass them to three friends of mine which they are regulars here at RHP;

I doubt that,I think most reckon they will get caught eventually.
Besides,by tagging and prohibiting you destroy it just the same; no more tournaments and would you play a tagged player?It has the added benefit of subscribers having to pay for a second account if they want to start anew.

Exactly. That's what ICC does. They stamp their account with a (C) and keep them out of tourneys.

Why not divide the money into months or weeks and only refund for any remaining time left on the subscription?
