There are three ways to get banned according to TOS:

(3a) You will not create more than one account.
(3b) While a game is in progress you may not refer to chess engines, chess computers or be assisted by a third party. Endgame tablebases may not be consulted during play but you may reference books, databases consisting of previously played games between human players, and other pre-existing research materials.
(3c) You may not threaten or harass other users of this Service.

So if someone is not telling us we would not know.

He logged on with a second account and started harassing himself. Why else do people get banned in here? 😲

He had multiple personalities and they were alternately assisting and harrasing each other.

Another "ski slope" graph gets banned. He probably just blitzed his early games though and then suddenly realized his inner potential.

Even a more or less average OTB club player such as myself can hit 2000 pretty easily - in fact I just have.

No need to cheat. The standard on RHP is very low compared to OTB club chess [in London anyway].

Above 2000 I couldn't say. I'm surprised to see somebody much weaker than me OTB up at 2200 and in the top 50 on the site but that's another matter.

What's your OTB rating out of curiosity?

166 new ECF. I think I would have been about 150-155 under the old grading system.

[Edit: I think that translates to about 1980 elo but I'm not exactly sure about conversions after the new ECF grading changes]
