Who are the "you" that you refer to in your post? It's not like Perpete or any other GM has anything to say on behalf of what happens to the teams players. They only have the power to stop the managers that are doing something wrong. You will need to address Marin if you want to find the one sitting on power to change anything around this. Is this something we really feel Marin should be prioritizing though? There are a lot of other things could see had higher prio then this.

Okay, then ... marin,

(1) please start crushing cheaters,
(2) make examples of them so everyone knows cheating will get you crushed, and
(3)remove the cheat players from the game if they are still on the cheating team, don't send them to the FA list.

As for the priority this shouild receive, well, I would say give it the same priority as anything else that is life and death to the game. Cheating will kill the game, if it isn't already, and publicly crushing cheaters may revive it.

BTW, crushing the cheaters should include never letting BB be played from that same computer again. Making a new account will do the cheater no good in that case.

Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters, sir.

Just a few word.
I have, at last, a player who is in the French NT :)
I drafted him when I was in D1, and then, he followed my team during its (sad) way to the D4.
Why ?
I love this player, and I wanted to keep him at all cost, even if I had to fall in DV.

In YOUR way of seeing NT & draft & max Potentials, what should you do about my player ?

In D4, I can easily manage his salary (around 100 k) and my team can play easily for PlayOffs. (My team is only homemade draftees !).
So, why shouldn't he stay in my team ?

You know that is not possible right ?

Au contraire, I believe it is fully possible.

Let's look at this a little more closely ...
...crushing the cheaters should include never letting BB be played from that same computer again. Making a new account will do the cheater no good in that case.
Granted that would not deter all cheating, but it would curb at least 80% of it.

You also need to consider that people have access to multiple computers and multiple physical addresses.
So they would need to block a second computer, maybe more, in another 10% of the cases.

Given the technology anyone can fake anything on the internet. THey can make it look like their one computer is 100 different computers in 100 different countries... Identifying where a sign in is coming from is extremely difficult if the person deliberately obscures themself.
And this level of sophistication applies to maybe 1-2% of the cheating in BB, if that.

These three categories alone account for an estimated 92% of BB cheating, with an additional 8% unspecified. So they can easily reduce cheating by around 90-98%, depending on what goes on in the unspecified category.

This game will be more realistic, fun, fair, legitimate etc. if they considered it an issue.
I wonder what their response would be if the players who don't cheat figured out that allowing cheating as they do amounts to a fraud against the people playing the game fairly, and the basis for a refund. Maybe stopping cheating would be taken a little more seriously.
