CHEATING on backgammon

[Marco 23]

Hey BGA, I just learned that there are players who cheat at backgammon and you KNOW who it is. I only say one thing: I will stop paying for my premium account (and I will encourage all my friends to do the same) if you do not DROP these people out of here.

Full support to Marco 23
BGA is ignoring this since way too long and only a 0 tolerance policy for cheaters will help the site live long!

[Roitelet]

Fully agreed!

I did not renew my premium subscription because of this issue. Full support to Marco23. BGA needs to step up and eliminate repeat cheaters from this site!

FULL ACK to all.
BGA: its a shame!

I made the situation accessible to all in BGA general forum / discussions / Convicted cheaters unpunished in Arena
See and react to it here: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30528

so the following actions were taken and then what's left to get considered?

- Send multiple individual reports about the many accounts and games involved and the insults in pm (all convicted guilty by BGA)
- Informed few high ranked players (Being third because 2 cheaters took the higher seats is unacceptable).
- Shared and chat in backgammon forum
- Informed and talked to the developer (super nice guy) who explained he is almost helpless as an external volunteering developer.
- Contacted 2 moderators in private message with no answer (to date hopefully)
- Wrote a more general subject about it on the general forum /Discussions / Convicted cheaters unpunished in Aren

I believe that the absence of penalty, to date, I wish, is due to unawareness rather than processes or rules about not punishing the same player twice for the same thing.
