Moderating computer players

I highly suggest to take action against players who are using a computer program with some games.
There is no option yet to moderate a player like that.
I suggest making an extra line in the list of reasons to moderate a person.
In the chessworld there is a similar case now goning on.
Worldchampion Carlsen occused an other player of using a computer during recent games.
I do now the same for checkers. In the chat of a game against cheater najyara i wrote that I will report him as a computer player.
And now I got moderated? This is the world upside down.

Again, bga, stop this computer cheating and cheater!

This has been discussed over and over again.

You cannot moderate people without proof. And people using solvers cannot really be proven.

I think this platform doesn't have the capabiliies/tools/ressources to detect cheating in most cases (i.e. by using computer program). Therefore when there's a claim that someone is cheating that way, there is no way to confirm or deny that claim. So you cannot report it because the report couldn't be handled (maybe a generic response with such a statement would be nice for the report-form). When you make a public claim like that (which couldn't be checked), it means your claim is nothing but an empty accusation. When something is obvious for you, it does not mean it's obvious to others.

The best approach for you is to avoid games on BGA, that have solvers available or play them only with friends.
