Well to be honest he already posted a thread to say stop publicly naming people for cheating, and since that's exactly what's happening in this thread, I imagine his stance may be to avoid the thread completely. š
I received a vague response telling that maybe,in the future,something will be done,but nothing for the present moment.
Thing being this way we (the honest players) have the full right to point out who's using an engine,since 1) using engines is forbidden and 2)it's not like many witch hunts,analisis of games and full evidence has been presented here and 3)cheaters didn't stopped their behaviour and they happily continue,sure of their immunity guaranteed by this ''so-wanted-silence'' about this matter.

Originally posted by RavelloYour description sounds like a vigalante group. in theory it sounds fine but remember that the TOS goes both ways. Although you target may or may not be using an engine, your posting is harrasing to them and that is against the TOS. Why is it wrong for them to break the TOS but ok for you and your group?

Originally posted by FeivelDo you not think that, rather than saying that increased engine use is the fault of the people who highlight it, it can actually be blamed on the fact that it is shown that no action is taken against proven cheaters.
If we continuer to give them that attention then you must live with the resultant increase in engine use.

Originally posted by RavelloAttention is attention. Perhaps you know the mindset of a cheater better than anybody else. As I asked you quite pointedly...WHY?
Where did I say that you said that they weren't seeking attention?;-)
I said that they were not seeking [b]this kind of attention and it's written pretty clearly.............[/b]

Originally posted by FeivelWell,it's pretty obvious that a cheater wants to have a recognising because of his rating,while we're giving them the recognising that they don't want.

Originally posted by Feivelwell,I'm sure that you're happy to play computer opponents since you can eat engines like candies (i'm speaking seriously),but us poor rated peones prefer to lose to a player who really thinks his own moves rather that turning on a chess program.

Originally posted by RavelloWhy do you think you know the cheaters mindset better then anybody else? Cheaters want attention (recognition if you prefer) and that doesn't have anything to do with the type.

Originally posted by RavelloNo..I would rather be playing a real person but I am playing the game in either case. I can assure you that a few of my losses came at the hands (chip) of a computer but life goes on.
