well gatecrasher has said the statistical analysis was automated. how strong a player should be to insert a bunch of games and click a button, in your opinion?
Originally posted by Nordlys I doubt it was coincidence that they includ(i)ed two strong players in the game mod team. It sounds strange to me to do it without any involvement of strong players, and that it is apparently done without consulting the previous game mod team. Oh well, we'll see what happens. Thanks to the game mod team for all their work!
well phlabby is what, 1300-1400?
I suppose big part of why gatecrasher and cludi were there was because they've shown to have some integrity. at first their strength might also have been a reason, but after all GMs have passed the engine detection procedure, is there really any reason why the game mods must be strong players? I mean, it doesn't hurt, but it's not really required when the analysis software is automated, is it?

Like I said, you don't know anything about it but for some strange reason think you can give what the qualifications of a Game Mod should be. Dave Tebb was on the original Game Mod team and at one point there was a thread asking for more volunteers and giving qualifications. They wanted reasonably strong players with experience with the various engines. But hey, I'm sure you know better than the Game Mods themselves. At no time was the Game Mod team without at least one of the strongest players on the site.

Game modding is not just about statistical analysis. Applying a benchmark may be sufficient in blatant cases, but as with any statistic, interpretation and judgement is required. The ability to recognise computer-like, non-human moves is also a great advantage.
The software used for automating the statistical analysis was developed by me, and used by myself the other game mods. It is not integrated into RHP at all, so if the admins choose to go this route, they need to complete a fair amount of R&D.
However, I do have a suspicion that their solution might be something completely different. We'll have to wait and see.

It really doesn't matter if the games are currently monitored or not. All games are 'recorded history' and can be processed whenever someone files a complaint against a player.
While I'm here I would also like to mention that the people behind the scenes should remain anonymous. Trust me, it works better that way.

I disagree. Of course the games can be analysed at any time, and you can still ban a cheater in a year's time or five, but the earlier they are banned, the less damage is done.

I disagree with your assessment. The process takes a lot of time and one or two months will have little effect on the outcome.
