FriendJosh: This whole topic has arisen because two sets of cheats have just been unearthed and there's little room for doubt. In one case a whole series of games were resigned very shortly after the start of the game in a game (hypergammon) where resignation is very rare. See the backgammon board for details (starting about 40 messages back with ArtfulDodger: "Wouldn't it be odd").

In the other case the guy had two nicks playing each other. One from his first names and one with his surname. And his profiles spelled it out. Doh! See this board (about 60 messages back).
