I don't suspect cheating on this site.  Maybe there are ringers, but so far I can't determine that.

Other sites give me the impression of cheaters or ringers.  Cheaters with computer programs.  Ringers are good players who open a second account and play with a low score.  They make too many brilliant moves in a single game that doesn't justify their rating.  

Has anyone found any cheaters or ringers on this site?  If so, how did you find out about them?

@OP: Who you call "ringers" go by the name "sandbaggers" here.

Cheating should not be discussed in the main forums. If you would like to discuss or read about anything related to cheating, you may join this group:

@NerdThing: If one wishes to file an allegation of cheating against a particular member, one should go to this link:

Help & Support

and click the radio button for Report Suspected Cheating. Then fill out the form.

@Southeast85: That is not generally true. Many such complaints are well-founded.

Point one:  Good point, "sandbaggers" is the more common term.  "Ringer," I think is more a horse-racing specific term.

Point two:  Bad point.  Many such complaints are well-founded to whiny ass loserz.  Plus I dont think that "Mr. SWAT" has any idea what he's talking about.  What is he like a complaint-review desk member or something?

If you suspect someone, please use the Help link at the bottom of the page. When that page opens, click on the left side option where it says Contact Us and submit a 'Suspected Cheat' ticket.

We provide tools to report cheating to our staff. But having several constant and redundant threads on the topic that circulate with the same questions and comments over and over again isn't helpful, and instead causes people to worry more than they need to. If you want to discuss cheating, please do it in this group
