I'm confused. A summary as I see it:

Xanthos thinks it'd be stupid to reinstate someone who's been banned. As part of this, he thinks to do so would make the whole game mod system a joke. He has not asked an actual question.

CrazyLilTing thinks the mod system is a joke, but won't say why. When Xanthos asks, she responds with a non-answer. She won't say why she thinks the mod system is a joke, and thinks Xanthos should have answers to why something he disagrees with is her opinion. Common sense says that if it were his opinion too, he'd support her rather than ask for more information, but this is RedHotPawn.

Others are dropping in with non-guidance and yet no one has answered the original XNZ question of why CLT thinks the mod system is bogus.

Do we ALL get to guess why she has this opinion, or is only XNZ allowed to play this game as punishment for his past transgressions?

What kind of past transgression does ZanthosNZ have? Are you starting rumors again? 😕 What did you do this time ZNZ? And remember that questions are much more important than answers when it comes to rumors. Is it true that you shag sheep? 🙄 You don't have to answer that.

No, no, the proper way to phrase the question is *have you stopped shagging sheep yet?*

Yes, much better. You must be part time attorney...or a Mother. In that case he can go ahead and answer. Not that it is important.

Ahh ha, so you admit it... that's not an answer you gave, that is another question. I know the importance of a good question, but don't try to wiggle your way out of this one. You don't need to "start". Good rumors and conspiracy theories have a way of doing that for you.

Sheep shagger.😵

Like I've said before, RHP did the right thing banning Ironman, basically because they had no choice. There have to be standards, and we should not allow cheating. But I repeat that in this case the actual information was wrong. I know people who know him personally and he really is that good. Until there is a perfect system for identifying cheats mistakes are going to be made, unfortunately. But for now it's all we have to go on.

I'll take good hard empirical evidence based on game analysis over your knowing someone who knows someone any day.

So would I, that's why I won't dispute your opinion, nor that of RHP, but I happen to believe otherwise.

RHP should not reinstate him to protect the credibility of the site and its system for catching cheats.

But we do make mistakes.

Before you jump all over me...

i understand the notion that his moves appeared to mimic a high end chess engine or another on a handful of occasions, but is that all there is too it?

i really am in the dark on this.
If you are really in the dark, the thing to do is find out then form an opinion as to what to do rather than form an opinion based on not knowing, don't you think?

Do you have actual evidence of any mistakes RHP has made during the Game Mod process?
