Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
My girlfriend recently spent a month in Toronto and New York. We live on the West Coast, and when she left I got her to start a BK account so that we could play and chat while she was gone. (Her name on BK is ultramarine.) We made moves on a couple of games from across the country, but now that she is back I was concerned that we would both be playing from the same IP address and that one day someone at BK would think that both were the same person. After our current game of go 13X13 is finished, I decided that from now on we should only play unrated, uncounted games with each other online. I suggest that couples and families who play on BK from the same IP address somehow register as multi-party users and then BK admin could have something set up so that all multi-users from the same IP addresses default to unrated, uncounted games. Such a preventative measure would limit the chance of cheating on this site, and that is something that has been addressed before on brainrook.com as well as on these discussion boards.
emmett: I disagree, most of the time cheating is extremely obvious, and easily achieved without usinng the same IP. Preventing "law-abiding" players from doing this is about as useful as preventing me from boarding a plane without any liquids..
emmett: I agree with Grenv. I always have a game or two going against my son, who lives on the opposite side of the world, but every couple of years when we visit each other we just continue playing from our own accounts from the same computer. There's no way I'm going to throw away a game to him, or him to me, just to cheat the ratings!
emmett: I would not worry about having someone play from the same computer - as long as there is not something very obvious (like many many games in short time with 1 person resigning or purposely losing, etc...) - otherwise I don't think Fencer pays attention.
I know he keeps track of IP and such, but 2 players with same IP alone is not something that should cause you problems on this site (others game sites, possibly... but not here)
BIG BAD WOLF: Okay, okay!:) I guess my ratings suck enough that few would accuse me of cheating anyway! (I never mind losing, and I love to play... I have always been fair and I guess it is the fairness in me that wanted to address the potential in anyone to ever think that I would cheat...) Anyway, thank you for your responses everyone. I remain, forever indebted to and in favor of this site, managed by our most dedicated game lover, the irreproachable Filipencer...

emmett: this is a bad idea for 2 basic reason,there are others:
1-many users use public library,university or community center computers,thus many on one IP address.this would unfaily block many users. it is surprising how many there are.take a poll fencer just for curiousity.
2-this unfortunely will NOT stop advanced cheating methods..there are many,I reframe from doing so. but many dont care that cheating is a hollow victory. to make yourself feel like you have acheived something by cheating,is the calling card of an insecure,dysunctional personality.
