Oh, it's still being beaten -- we just have a special area set aside for it now.
Where people like you and Karl_ come to defend the blatant cheaters. I guess that is OK for chess.com, and in general it's much more simple to deny cheating rather than do something against it. Fortunately this is not the only chess server :)
I've never defended cheating, but this is not the place for the discussion particularly as I'm not interested participating while you hijack yet another thread.
Take it up with me in the cheating discussion group.
wait, when did this thread turn into a cheating thread.
Niven42, is the irony lost on you?
But comrade, don't you understand that it's the future that's known; the past is always changing .
teehee. Nothing more eerie than that.

Yeah, Costelus the big terrorist :)
I was banend from the cheating group since this site emphasizes friendship among its users. Cheaters are also users of this site, so they must be protected.
Discretionary rules aren't really rules. That includes the one about this discussion belonging in the Cheating Discussion Group.

You know that story about the boy who cried 'wolf' all of the time ?
[COMMENT DELETED -- for being off topic and false]
I'm not discussing this here.
Yawn. Costelus is off again. He could copy and paste most of his posts.
Censorship isn't good. We did sign up to the terms and conditions though. Constructive criticism is good if it remains constructive.
Who censors the censors?
Well, I've been on the site 2 years now, and I can tell you that the "Cheating Horse" has been seriously beaten until dead. You're better off just finding something else to talk about.
A dead horse still needs beating to prepare the meat for burgers.
The censorship has been ridiculous on occasion. In the cheating forum I said that we should trust the top-3 match up method first and foremost, as a methodology we can see and test ourselves. This comment got deleted.
But they were right to delete it. If we trust the top-3 methodology, 95% of those above 2500 should go play somewhere else. That would be like 300 strong players.
every forum is a 'cheating' forum to costelus - an' I believe he has a genuine point - I is heartily sick of playin' bloody computers - that is not why I is here

I think I'll copy and paste that one. It speaks for me! (And made me laugh.)
It amazes me that people that agree to the term of service when they sign up for this site now have issues with it. If you didnt agree with the terms that YOU agreed to then why did you sign up?
That whole "big brother" mentality is self defeating. If you truely dont agree with what goes on here, then start your own chess site with your own rules.
I might even jon if i agree with the site rules
i do feel self-defeated. i couldn't figure out why. this must be it.
or maybe chess.com's inconsistency and waffley-ness really is annoying and we should talk about it.
Agreed that this site is plauged with inconsistencies. And that is the reason i have seriously cut back on my time here. I have been warned repeatedly in chat not to discuss religion (which i understand) but post after post where people are discussing drug use, how high they are, lets smoke a bowl, are repeatedly allowed. And when i asked why i get warned and they dont? The answer i always get is something along the lines of we cant monitor everything all the time. But amazingly eveytime i type God or God Bless or Jesus i get a warning.
Weird. I think as long as you're not proselytizing religion or drug use...there should be no violation by mere mention of it? Have you ever had God bless deleted seriously?
I made a little joke on tactics trainer because I thought it's what came to mind...and it referenced a drug that I've never even seen...but I got a warning and deletion on that too. Also...is it wrong to tell someone to "stop smoking crack" when they say something crazy? lol
