I don't know why it bugs me so much, but I can't stand it when people only ever play the same opening, over, and over, and over again, often refusing to play black. There are a number of people I've found doing this on yahoo (which I don't use anymore), and even on RHP. Bugs me to no end, I won't be mean and use any names; just wanted to vent.

Okay!
Breaking News!
I have a new pet peeve (already)!
People who accuse me of cheating!
Me of all people!
Can you believe it!
I'll post the game I was accused of cheating in later, I'm so obviously not, I blundered a pawn midway and everything.

Don't worry if they do that on RHP long enough they'll get slaughtered enough times to recongnize the folly of their ways...
Take my word for it😞
Originally posted by ih8sensThe problem is that blunders don't really prove anything, as an engine cheat might throw some in as camoflage. It's virtually impossible to prove non-use of engines which is why accusations like that are forbidden in the forums. If your opponent wants to be a bad loser then I don't see that there's much that can be done to stop them - you can block them from sending you messages and if they post accusations in the forums then they'll be removed, all I can suggest is that you try to avoid playing them again. I'd avoid posting the game as I really don't think it will discourage people from being poor losers and will probably just encourage some other people to throw accusations around.

Originally posted by ih8sensI can't stand this either. It has happened to me on FICS quite a lot. I give the person a few moments to retract, then if nothing, +censor and +noplay them.
