Board Game Arena

And also, I am starting to hating this web site, and if I still continue to have cheaters, I will hate more than the worst music (my think) (came in 2017)

Are you just trolling ? I think you are.
What on earth makes you assume that a beginner on this site is a beginner at that game ?

With covid-19, tons of people that never played online before do so now.

And you just have 0 concrete argument.

You should stop making accusations or even insinuations without some evidence, that is the kind of behavior that makes new players feel unwelcome and is detrimental to eveyone's fun.

I think TheClaude doesnt actually mean cheating by messing with server information (no idea how you’d want to do such, but since this would change locations of tiles or outcome of the game opposite to what the map shows, it would be totally obvious), but cheating by using help from programs, e.g. a chess computer. And while that is against the ToS too, it‘s pretty impossible to track and prove, especially if it‘s not done on the same device as the actual playing. And ofc there can be pro players too, that play very good without a program, and as others said before, they can be great players and still be new to BGA.

I think a certain amount of cheating with computer help is undeniable.
Not breaking the interface or anything, simply using a computer program to suggest moves.

I'm a (weak) tournament player of checkers and othello, and I know personally a few "real life" world champions in both games.
If there was a real human exibiting the level of play by "r I3aby" or "sprockitz" in both games, he would be quite well known among the tournament players.

I don't want to accuse anyone, it could theoretically be possible, but it is unlikely.

However I don't see it as a major problem. There is no monetary prize to be won, so losing to a computer program doesn't faze me. The goal is to have fun

They are well know to make people rage and they are extremely not fair.

Please make an update for having a report for modding behaviour.

And yet you yourself only joined April 2020...
