First of all, I want all to know that I am a lover of autochess playing, but at the same time I am a hater of cheaters, and I think I can speak for the other admins and the owner of this forum.

That beeing said, I want all admax program users that use his programs to cheat to be aware of this:
(admax programs users that don't cheat, please disregard this post)

1.-The more cheating taking place in chessclub and servers alike, the less chances we have that they will create an engine room. Why? Because of the more time the admins work baning cheaters the less time they will have to work in and "engine room" and "engine accounts" development.

2.- All cheaters will be sooner or later get baned. All that time spent trying to accumulate those "my precious" points will be a wasted time.

3. admax programs do not have the power/ability to warn the opponent that you are an engine user, BUT YOU DO, yes you do have that power. So, please warn your opponent, before you click "start", that you are an engine user.

4. Why cheat, where is the pleasure on "earning" no honest points that eventually you will be lost after getting baned?

5. If I keep getting messages from these servers admins that lots of people is cheating, the admax forum will be deleted. Why? Because I trust they eventually will create an "engine room" and because we dont want to jeopardize the chances of us (the true engine users) have to go and play there with the confidance that we will never be baned for using an engine. If admax is smart enough to make his programs, I know he will be smart enough to create his own forum, but it comes to that, so be it. This forum do not supports cheaters.<-period

6. Let me say this one more time, cheaters will be baned sooner or later from these servers. All that time accumulating "my precious" (yes, like smeagol in "The Lord of the Rings", because that's what it is, a sick obsession) points, will be just a wasted time for everybody, starting with: you, the human players, the admins and the true engine users.

*****************************************************************

Note for admax: In every of your post I want you to warn everyone that, cheaters will be baned from those servers. You can do this by editing/creating your signature(take a look at mine). If your program does not have the capability to auto-warn, the least you can do is ask your users not to cheat. Failure to comply with this will result in your FORUM section getting deleted.

Another note: I still stand by your side, and I still advise you not to get intimidated by threats by the chessclub admin, but in the other hand, you should do your best to avoid people use your programs to cheat.
*****************************************************************

You all can see I wrote this post with crossed feelings. In one hand I support free software and we the developers should be not be accounted for what users do with that software. In the other hand, I hate cheating. So I hope everyone understs my position.
