Cheating should be regarded more soberer. It is part of the game. Also a foul, like intentional facemasking is an attempt to cheat. The use of EPO is an attempt to cheat. We have to differentiate between the action after a proven cheat, penalty and punishment.

At this time, is there a set of rules for online cheating in backgammon? Is there, like the haematocrit and treshold values a common accepted method to detect online cheating in backgammon? Is there a catalogue of penaltys and punishments?

Perhaps, serious online backgammon needs a new set of rules.

I remember the discussion around the baffle box. The elephants said, no way, one set of dice, dicecups and not throwing the dice with the hands into the box.

A discussion, that detected, cheating and the fear of cheating is a fundamental part of the game.

So we could stop this fruitlessly discussion now, letting the past where it is and concentrate here and now for better proceedings in the future. As i have seen, there are enough computer specialists and mathematicians in this forum. How about working for a bulletproof environment? GNU was possible. Why not other things?

And if the experts say, impossible, adieu online backgammon?!
