Hi,
On FICS:
There is a player, Opinel, who was often accused of cheating, because of very high rating(and chess performance also) and also probably because of his (silly in my view) notes.
Recently, when they planning to ban him, Opinel contacted the site admins and submitted his GM certificate, so it seems the accusations were not correct.(ok, a GM can still use a computer and cheat, but the probability is very low).
Maybe this should be a good idea to use on this site: when a player rating gets too high, ask them to prove somehow that they are titled players or something, to prove in a way their real life chess.
What do you think ?
