Congrats on hitting 700!

Yeah. Red thumb, report them if you think they crossed the line into "misbehaviour" (not sure if that's defined anywhere), and move on. I think that's the most/best you can do.

Agreed, it catches lots of games that should be counted as full Elo, certainly more than are dishonest. The question is whether the trade-off between slowing down cheaters easily is worth the corruption of Elo for honest games. I think there are good arguments on both sides.

(I'm sorry a...

My pleasure.

The problem that the Elo reduction is solving is when someone wants to boost their Elo by repeatedly playing the same much-weaker player (possibly fixed, possibly not). This has nothing to do with interaction-levels in the game. There are good reasons to think that the cure is worse than disease, b...
