Originally posted by meanmicroFor one thing, RHP is not and has never been a democracy. But even if it were, it's absolutely ridiculous and doesn't have anything to do with democracy to let a vote decide whether someone is guilty or not. I have a very hard time believing that Exy was cheating, but a vote is definitely not the way to go.
why not do you not believe in democracy.???
Originally posted by meanmicroI'm not bitter.
obviously some bitter and ignorant people here, if this was you that had been banned you attitude would be a lot different....
I didn't particularly like / dislike Exy. I thought he was a pompous fool sometimes, other times he made me laugh.
I just don't care about him.
You obviously do, so you're biased. My comments are actually worth more on this matter because of my obvious intelligence, clear thinking and objectivity 😛
Oh, I don't cheat, so I won't get banned...

I could say the same about your posts, Bor.
If you feel so aggrieved about this rank injustice, why don't you make like a tree?
Fact is you understand jack about chess (and if you think you do check your rating to confirm yourself that you dont'😉, but yet your are congratulating a decent player when they are leaving RHP ...
I've had many great matches against Exy and have managed have a positive score againts that man ... Now he is banned and I fail to understand why as I sure as hell couldn't beat an engine ...
So why dont' you shut your useless mouth for a while (or at least think for a change) prior to posting such rubbish

Originally posted by The Slow PawnHoly Crap! Wait a minute Boris. Is Nixie banned too??? I just read about Exy, obviously, which is tough to believe. What are you saying about Nyxie?
Well Nyxie is a whole other story (hmmm ... 1200-1300 to suddenly almost 2000) ??
But your point is true indeed, by not showing evidence you feel very uncomfortable playing here ...

I never said I knew anything about chess. But I understand how the Game Mods do their analysis and if they say he's a cheat - why would I (or anyone else for that matter) question it?
I didn't start posting about what a stand-up guy Exy is (was? Haha). The members of his stupidly named clan brought it up.
As if that has any bearing on the fact of cheating at chess.
BTW, I always keep my mouth shut while posting.
I wonder, what are the general criteria for banning a player? Im still provisionally rated, but if i shoot up to 1500 or 1600 will i be banned? I know thats not out of the ordinary, but say a very experianced chess player wanted to join the site, and right away went up to 2000 or 2100? Im not taking sides, i would just like a little more info.

Originally posted by wibI honestly think they may have mixed up NYXIE with EXY. Read the Nyxie post in the chess general discussion to see what I mean, Boris has a point there. She's a whole different story altogether playing wise then Exy, but the nicks are similar.
Holy Crap! Wait a minute Boris. Is Nixie banned too??? I just read about Exy, obviously, which is tough to believe. What are you saying about Nyxie?

This is a serious allegation, and if there is any truth in it I will definately be leaving the site.
For RHP to use spyware would be wrong, and probably illegal.
Saying that I can't imagine the mods being that extreme.
[Edit]yeah I know it'd been said already - I just hadn't read the whole thread dummies!
