I adore the fact that the forum is moderated, but nothing is done about cheaters or anything like that. You can report even the most obvious cheater and nothing will happen, but if you post on the forum about that person breaking rules the post will be deleted and the account will still be unharmed. It's not "allegations" anymore if the person even admits it.

But hey, at least we have Propaganda Gothamchess, who seems to be catching cheaters in the act, although he hasn't even proven in the last 6 months that any of the games he presents happened. How in the world is data protection on an anonymous platform relevant if the accounts involved are suspended anyway?

You can run Stockfish 15 and have it move repetitively for you every 10 seconds, nothing will happen. If this is anything to go by, it's an encouragement to cheat. 2 weeks ago I found an account that had a 1200 rating point difference between Rapid and Bullet. I hate to break it to you – that's not going to happen unless you are an absolute, unhinged troglodyte or cheating.

Cheating and suspicion of cheating is not to be discussed in the main forum. If you suspect a member, use the report feature to send them to fair play review.
