You don't know my true chess skill, you only see my rating at RHP, and that means little as far as my chess skill goes.
Originally posted by Jie The paranoia continues Thread 97551 Why cant some of these [gone] like Philabit and co, concentrate on improving their own chess rather than this obsession? A 1200 player is worried about cheating. Wouldn't the move made by a 1300 player look like cheating to him?
Jie,
Um, any need for name calling? You seem to have boiled all accusations down to their dumbest level where low rated players really don't have any chance of knowing if a player is cheating.
You're disregarding real situations where there is ample evidence to show a user is cheating... those are threads a moderator will remove if names are named and alerts are given (or not in some cases). The proper course of action is to use the new fair play feature (see site ideas).

My point is that all of this paranoia is affecting even players not on the first page. A guy rated 1200 has just started a thread about cheating as he is concerned about cheating. A 1200 player is someone who starts a strong attack only to "notice" he has been mated.
If those cheater hunters sent feedback to the Forum Moderator instead of being paranoid on the forum, then that would leave time for chess to be discussed.

Originally posted by Jie Day after day the topic of the "latest cheater" is introduced and early games of players rising up put on the forum. This looks like the chess equivalent of the Salem Witch trials if you are old enough to understand what those were.
Yes, the similarities between burning someone to death and accusing people of cheating over the internet are countless...
Apply to join Club 75. You will have to wait before being allowed in as we have restricted membership to only 100 but our objective is to create a cheat free zone.
