I know what book moves are from my personal database, as well as chess lab. Who said I didn't?

Why did Russ lied to me? You didn't answer to that question.
What's the purpose to have a 1400 player on the game mods?
Can you judge a game between a 1900-2000 player?
Originally posted by no1marauderOkay, thanks for explaining. I wasn't around when the first vote and discussion took place (I had barely started playing chess at that time), so there are probably a lot of things I am unaware of. I didn't know, for example, that it might be difficult just to get Russ to allow a vote, or that the voting could take so long. I still wouldn't write it off at once, though. The fact that it was like that last time doesn't necessarily mean it has to be like that again. "You may say I'm a dreamer..." 😉 It's possible that I am too optimistic because I haven't been here so long, but an overly positive approach usually works better than an overly negative approach.
First, we'll have to spend several weeks pleading with Russ to allow a vote. I'd say given Dave Tebb's opposition to the idea, we won't get one. But say we do get one: the prior votes were held open 4-6 weeks; so now we're more than two months with nothing being done. I have no doubt that a majority who vote will vote for public naming of che ...[text shortened]... etc. etc. etc. Either fix the damn thing or don't; I'm starting to not really care either way.

What's your "personal database" and why did Russ lied to me?
By the way if having an engine was the only thing requested to do the game mod,I guess everyone who owns one could do it.
As you tell it,seems that all the work is on Tebb's shoulders and your presence as a game mod is totally useless.
Answer to the questions,I'll check the replies when I'll be back from races.
Originally posted by Moldy CrowI really can't say much about the work Dave and I do... but it's a bit more than 'having an engine'.

This whole 'naming names' discussion is silly. That's because, people, we're all ANONYMOUS here. Say some guy with the handle CheatyCheatCheat gets busted for engine use. He gets named in the forums, and banned. How is that going to be worse than simply being banned? There's no shaming going on, because there is nothing to connect his handle with the person he is, whom most of use have never met anyway. Shame depends on personal contact between people.
No, this 'name and shame' thing is just so that the more vindictive among us can cackle and gloat when someone who used an engine against us gets expelled. "That'll learn 'em", we cackle in our savage glee. No one messes with me!
The whole idea of 'name and shame' is kind of medieval anyway...
Originally posted by dfm65Would you support a system that says "x" many users have been banned and left the site. Also if we don't name then people won't know if the person they reported was cheating or not. Seems if you don't offer feedback people will become disilusioned.
