Yes, I have been collared by this too!

Surely my rating would suggest that I do not use an engine?

I do use engines a lot, but not for chess.

And rating is only a meager indicator.

Just a friendly reminder not to cheat, or Russ'll send the maffia 'round with a hobble and post to break a few limbs.
Capisce?

why would someone use a chess engine?
what would be the point of cheating strangers in a virtual world?
is it connected to a small member syndrome or what?

If you are using an engine it would have to be one from 1969 or before, on hardware from the same era.

I thought that was a bit annoying and a bit of a waste of resources.

I joined the site, paid my subs and am bound by the TOS. I have already agreed not to use software/computers to help me during a game.

The only change I saw was that I have now been forced to agree to the fact that I can now have my membership revoked ( be banned ) if I am found guilty. There seems no need for this as the TOS clearly state that they can be updated at any time without notice - so that additional clause could have been inserted without hassle.

My 2 pennies worth.

The thing is how many people actually read the TOS?

A little reminder now and then as to what is unacceptable just helps to focus the mind.

Cheats, however, will just say yes and carry on regardless, so as you say a fairly pointless exercise.

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
