lukulus: I think problem with rating in BG games is not so big. Most of the cheaters are pawns so they will disappear in one month w/o finished game.
Conversely, as long as they continue to play, their rating will persist. The rankings list will be spoiled for as long as this game amuses them. And it does amuse them; they have been at it for many, many months, as you would see if you cared to look.
And if someone will earn high rating due to his skill and luck, than he wont be able to defend it in longer period.
Of course he will. Having gained a high rating by cheating, do you think that honest play will ensue? Not at all. The cheating game continues.
alanback: The main reason it's not so important is, well ...
spirit_66: I guess there's a lot of cheating around. That's why I decided not to prolonge my membership here.
It is important, Alan, and it doesn't help for you to state otherwise as a fact simply because it's not important to you. Would you play at a backgammon club which had a reputation for cheating? If so, would you debase other's concerns by declaring it a non-issue?
rod03801: I'll never understand what satisfaction they get from it. They feel good about themselves, even though they know they didn't earn it?
I think that their point is to reach the peek of rating scale no matter what.That's their only satisfaction and they will just do anything to get it...I'm not that kind of person,but there are players all over the internet who do so.I find no joy at all knowing that I cheated,but I guess they are so immature to understand that it's fun first and if you are worthy of getting to the top,then let it be...
Another thing about pmvaht is that his only opponents are 2 or 3 people. He is so naive and he can be easily busted.I would reccomend him to be permanently removed off the rating system,because it is easily proven he is cheating. If therefore he stops playing at this site,then let it be.I don't want cheaters here. Plus,has any of you tried to invite him for a game? I strongly believe he will either turn down the invitation, or even worse he will never accept it and not even bother to press the decline button,until the person inviting him gets tired of waiting and delete the invitation by himself...Just check it out and see if I'm wrong or right. Cheers
