Pardon me... but he DID NOT SAY "In my opinion..."
If he had used that simple language I wouldn't have felt the need to tel him that he was in error. And YOU my friend, should have picked up on that.

Originally posted by BigDoggProblemWell, when I'm carrying a rating between the high 1800's to 1900 I can't get points from playing a non-subscriber (who is rated at 1200). But Let me give you a REAL LIFE situation! A non-subscriber challenged me a while back and BEAT ME! Yeah, and after the game I LOST 30 points... I also discovered that I was playing against Fritz! So not only did I lose 30 points from my rating, but even after turning in my game and my complaint, he simply "disappeared".
You can get rating points from beating a non-sub just as much as a sub. Sure, a non-sub might walk away from the game before it is finished, but you can still time them out. Some subscribers here have been accused of deliberately tan ...[text shortened]... so I fail to see how paying some guy has improved their behavior.
So where's the checks and balances here? I was still out 30 points. It was after that event that I said I would never (again) play a person who had nothing to lose.
That is why I've taken the stance that I take now, and I take offense that others tell me that I'm wrong in my assessment. I'm sure that if it had happened to them they'd have the same feelings.

2) Do I need to specify that this post reflects my opinion or do you think it's someone else's opinion?
3) I'm not your friend.

If ICC, which charges more $$ per year than this site, has computer cheats, then there will likely be some here too. The $$ paid doesn't deter cheats one bit.
If the site operators can't enforce a ban on a non-sub who abuses with multiple handles, then how will they stop a subscriber from doing the same thing??
