member curiosity

What about it? It was closed about the time you posted.

I'm not allowed to discuss what it's about. We'd have to go somewhere special where it doesn't matter. Like a chat room that's only service or purpose is to provide a place where people make beleive they are on some community sounding board. The "why" they were banned instantly; being discussed openly might accidentally show a accurate picture of just how in the dark ; the playing public here is.If it was discussed here. It might clue the average folks in that this problem is so incredibly prolific in this place ; that people are in fear of its true size and the impact of it being uncovered here for everyone to fairly see. In my honest opinion the fact that we are corralled into inconsequential chat room to discuss something that affects every single member is truthfully ; in my opinion a somewhat infringement of every Americans civil and constitutional right. Although I give you credit this is a private owned place and they ultimately decide how this is handled. But this should be said. This fella had been doing what he did to me for a considerable amount of time. He had 100+ victims. And he will come right back and do the same thing under a new name. And the playing members will lose a bunch more points. And ultimately the site ends up being more fun for the abuser than for honest folks. It's not right that it is allowed or that the site has failed to find a real way to address it. I'm going to start a fb page just so anyone who wants to talk with other victim's. Maybe someday we won't have to put up with it.

It wasn't hundreds of games or opponents. The account hadn't played in 3 years and was closed after less than 50 games of returning with most of those over a few days.

It's not prolific and the vast majority of that small percentage are closed very quickly.

There's always someone like yourself who pops in with God like authority. The know all end all of anyone speaking out... Or so you think. I counted the games ; I saw the back to back 90+% accuracy's I understand your strong desire or need to hide it ; and for your vigorous defence of the status quo. If only someone was interested in and worked that hard in the advocacy of paying honest members. You know the ones who actually suffer from it. Our complaints are so obviously void of merit ; and 100% of the time exaggerated. God forbid it have any truth to it. It would be dreadfully unfortunate for us.... But not you..

Hey Martin ; look at your history there's some strange games down that list as well. Tell how do you get a draw out of a 2800 bot?

If you think you're hiding what you are insinuating you're not. XD

You say the vast percentage is closed quickly. Well either the world is producing new threats as fast as they are discovered ; or they come back under a new name instantly and are back slinging mud in our face in no time flat. I believe it's out of hand. And at best the effort put forth is only curbing it somewhat; and has little ability to eradicate it.
