Not that it is any of my concern with whom you want to play, but why would you play with a known cheater. I would avoid them like the plague. I think Sabre Cherry is being sarcastic -- note the .
It is a real problem however. In all of the games I've played, I didn't know my opponents beforehand. In such cases accusations of cheating arise easily -- simply because cheating is easy, and regardless of whether the accusation is true.
For me the solution is easy -- I just don't host. But _somebody_ has to host, and who really wants to open themselves up to such a potential headache?
