Of course, that means no post-ban discussions of engine ...[text shortened]... allowed either. Right now, 3b'ers are pretty much fair game after they've been ejected.

Agree. We're looking at nothing more or less than a gradual overhaul of the RHP culture... realistically, anything but an easy undertaking.

I came here to post another idea and read this thread.

Excellent idea to have this out in the open.
The other poster is pointing out all the diff here on another matter

Interesting, Phlab. Wonder why... Unable to due to a lack of effective (subjectivity/bias free) tools or Unwilling because

of the administrative nuisance and/or the litigation risk or because viewed as Unprofitable since the ongoing cost of the

solution may exceed the cost of the problem or some other cluster of perceptions and real world factors. What say you?

Quit winking at me!

I would say becuase engines are already so ingrained into USCF since their inception. Too late to start bothering? A friend of mine says it is a big problem and there are many who wish something would be done about it.

Hackers and cheaters give all multiplayer internet games a bad name. But they're still so much fun! Or can be.
