He was the top rated player on the site (Still is at the moment of this posting). If you click on the Player Tables link, you will see his name at the top. He had lost 2 games in more than 1000 played, and he was admired by many here. He was known for being a nice guy, as well as being top talent. A few days ago, it was (allegedly) proven that he used engines to make his moves for him, so he was removed from the site. The mod team is in quite a pickle, because they can't please everyone. The site was clamoring for a crack down on cheaters, so the mod team was created. They were criticized for working too slowly. When they finished their analysis, the site's star player, and another player in the top ten were on the list of people to be removed. Because these players were popular, it's caused a lot of commotion. Some people were ready to leave the site before, because nothing was being done about cheaters, and now, some people are ready to leave the site because they are unhappy about how the expulsion process worked.

Apart from the allegedly that was decent overview.
