Subject: Cheating rings
A feather in the cap for Fencer. He's just made the first use of a new "Ban From Charts" feature and has removed two sets of rating cheats from the charts!

Group 1 - ROMANIA, laurentiu, florin, ROMANIAN Boy, hitlerica

Group 2 - DARK PHOENIX, el diabolique, zapdos

bouncybouncy: Each of those links shows the Finished Games list. If you look down the Number of Moves colums you'll see lots of games with very few moves. Open any of these and you'll see that it's been resigned. All those resignations pump up the rating of the "winner".

Looking at florin's list you can see that he's been getting a monthly boost from hitlerica since June. That took him to #1 on the ranking table recently which is when his shenanigans became noticeable. DARK PHOENIX was the newest #1 until this morning. It was easy to see that he'd been playing the same game along with his two accomplices.

playBunny: ah right, ok i understand now, I did have florin on block anyway, but that was for a different reason. I have been playing laurentiu for some time, but he will now go on my blocked lisyt. I cant be bothered with people like this.

playBunny:  That's interesting, and pitiful.  It doesn't appear that florin has been stripped of his BKR -- which is relevant to me since I challenged him when he reached #1.  I wonder what will happen with that match.

alanback: I doubt that Fencer will change any of the actual BKRs. It's probably too complicated a web to unravel and when Fencer eventual gives us a real rating system and recalculates all the BKR histories (lol, are you reading this Filip?! ), having to program in such anomalies would be a real pain in the bum, I expect.

It is a pity that they've affected other's ratings, especially the lower rated players who've been leeched from, but hopefully the fact that they've no longer got any public incentive will mean that they'll stop playing that game in the future. What I'm not sure of is whether Fencer sent them a message or simply implemented the chart ban.
