Official statement of cheating on PBW.

[geoschmo]

I think every reasonable person would agree that cheating is wrong and should not be tolerated. The point of this thread was not to be a place for "I hate cheaters" rants. My intention was to steer people away from that kind of negative talk that always springs up whenever someone is caught cheating. I wanted to set the record straight instead of letting the rumor mill go wild, and to reassure people steps are being taken to prevent it in the future.

I was trying to point out that while there are cheaters that will break the rules, there are also players that just play very aggresive but completely within the rules. Sometimes these players will be labled as cheaters simply because they do well in their games. I hope everyone is smart enough to not fall into that kind of thinking.

If you have something to say, let's keep it civil.
