Is there a stop to Internet Backgammon cheaters?

Unfortunately there isn't anyway to identify each other, however,..some of the people using cheat ware can identify you.

Just how they do it I'm not sure but they can. That can even block you from playing anyone else.

If you leave a game because it is obvious they are cheating, they get mad as heck because you weren't their stupid whipping boy and will block you from playing the game.

Somehow I get the feeling the person doing it is the author of the cheat program in the first place.

As you have said and I could not agree more,..just to play an honest game man to man is a great pleasure.

Unfortunately these gammon hacks  have choose to ruin a great game for everybody.

They are pathetic pieces of human debris.

Wish I knew when you were playing. But I find no way to identify ourselves.

And as inktoo asks, report any "sans-hacks' sites for our pleasure of a legitimate game.

Until then, I am boycotting the hacks by refusing to play them.  Makes for a miserable experience since I can find only about 1 in 20 players to play legitimately.

There are other gammon sites out there but the graphics are terrible. This is what has made Internet Backgammon as popular as it is,...is because of the graphics.

If there was another decent sight, I'm sure some crack-pot would develop some kind of cheat ware to ruin the game.

If these people can find a naive person who will sit there and not realize that they are being gamed,...

can they in their hart of harts think they have won?  This these are the tenets of a sociopath.

One who has no concise and feels achieved by gains from cheating. They are not interested in  building skills from practice and perfecting a skill. They are like children that never want to give up their training wheels.

The people who con up the soft-ware for cheating are the same personalities that sit for days creating virus's that destroy thousands of people's PC they don't even know.  What is the point? What do they gain? What do they get out of it? Are they the same people who want to harm or kill a famous person, just so they will be famous too?

We keep asking why do they do it? Is it a compulsion to cheat a system just because they can?

What kind of personal gain do they get from it?  Are they basically cyber bullies?

Imagine what they could do if they created a great game that could be sold?

Does their satisfaction lye in the fact that they are inherently disturbed people, that thrive on negativism, and reading these complaints that myself and others are posting is their reward, by the sheer fact they are effecting others they cannot reach otherwise

The idea that they have some kind of power or influence on other's enjoyment, that they (the effected) have no power to stop.

What a sad commentary on the part of this person's life. If they have the ability to create these programs, why don't they use it for something good. Maybe it's the fact that nothing positive stimulates them. They thrive off of negative energy.

At any rate how pathetic for them.

If anyone finds a decent internet backgammon site (sans hacks).  Please post!
