Board Game Arena

After sending evidence to BGA that *** cheated with the help of other accounts, nothing was done about it.

ok

Just to be clear: Do you challenge the moderators about that?

The moderators did not reply, and nothing was done.

Do you mean absolutely nothing was done, or they didn't reset the Arena ranking? Sometimes they reset the cheater's Elo, but don't reset Arena.

But let's say they did absolutely nothing. Perhaps your level of "proof" doesn't rise to the level of what has been given in other cases. Just because it's clear to you don't mean it looks definitive to someone else. Or you haven't given them enough time to act.

At any rate, moderators do not reply to the person making a report.

I just followed up with an email to inform them, maybe they will take action when they review it.

How long ago did you submit the report?

I submitted a more recent report, maybe they will look into it.

I think for a successfull moderation, the content of the report might be more revevant then when / how many times you send it

There’s no way for him to know the evidence he submitted was insufficient if what is stated above by meeple is true that moderators don’t reply to the person making the report. I have seen players claim to get status on reports they’ve filed. Personally I never heard back on a report.

To answer more questions asked since op didn’t they’ve been going on about this since last arena season. They were camping at the top. Some account who only plays with the same few other accounts surpassed him on the final day. Other ppl in the community said this accused account engaged in foul play. Classic things like the secondary account saving the main account from losing by quitting took place. I do think this is a case of friends helping friends rather than a person with multiple accounts. Because these same accounts play by themselves in other games and if someone is playing with multiple accounts in hundreds of games by themselves that’s pretty sad.

I recall looking at a game history of a player (do not remember who, and don't care, since I wouldn't want to name anyone specific anyway, since that's against the rules),

But anyway, the unnamed player was very obviously doing what ChiefPointThief referred to. Having helpers at the table, and if a loss was still unavoidable, one of the helpers would just quit/forfeit, thus neutralizing the loss.

The evidence was as clear and conclusive as it possibly could be. I don't even remember which game it was. Doesn't matter though. Whichever game, whichever player(s) were involved, something that obvious should be easy to detect and punish.
