Hello, Unfortunately, one of our members was recently banned for cheating. I found it quite disappointing, because I thought this team had high standards when it comes to cheating, but it happened. Now, I suggested we resigned 3 of our 4 ongoing Vote Chess games, where martos took part, out of respect for our opponents, because I think it's very unfair to have someone with engine assistance in your team, especially when playing against opponents who have to rely on their own means. FT agreed to resign the game in the 'No Engine league', but thinks it would be an over-reaction to do the same in the other games. He will probably explain his thoughts better than I can do it myself. Nevertheless, I wanted to take this opportunity to ask for everybody's opinion here. As you know, cheating in VC has been a plague for many years, and it's only recently that Daws has started a titanic effort to try and fight this practice. When I was invited in this group (by petitbonom if I remember correctly), I was told this was a group with high standards, and which didn't tolerate cheating. So my open questions to all members are : - what do you think we should do in the ongoing games where martos took part ? - in general, what is your position towards cheating in VC games, and what would you suggest that this group could do to fight against it (if you feel it's important) ?
