Is there a stop to Internet Backgammon cheaters?

There is a tool out there that these cheaters are using. The person who is developing this cheat program

should be tracked down and banned from the game forever.

There are so many people using it that you cant play and honest game anymore.

All of these people cheat should be banned. They have destroyed the game. What good is it to play someone that has to use training wheels to play the game. How do they feel they have one when it wasn't them that even played the game.

Here is the link to the fool that is developing the cheater programs. He or she should be sought out by Microsoft and hung by his thumbs.

Pay attention Microsoft, Please do something about this.

I could not agree with you more. Here is what I cant understand. These people can shut your PC down if they don't like it if you leave the game. 

What is the point of playing when you know darn well they are cheating. Some hoe it is in the temperament of these sociopaths that if you wont sit there like a lemming and take their cheating abuse they get so pissed off they can shut your PC down.

How do they feel they have won when it was never them who chose the moves or never took the chance of a legitimate roll in the first place.

Do people feel gratified by illegitimate wins? No skill pure cheating.

The biggest question is why doesn't Microsoft do something about it?

I guess they don't care there software is being perverted.

Have you read my first posting?  I recommended that if you suspect a cheater early on in the game, stop playing - in effect a boycott.  That's the only way to stop it.  I play only 1 in about 10 players after finding a potential 9 cheaters (potential, not real).  So I may have bypassed many legitimate players - a bad side effect of cheaters.

Microsoft copyrighted this in 2001, 10 years ago.  They are not concerned about it.  So we must act with a boycott.

Great post. I tend to find cheaters quit if you win the first roll, make a pretty good first move, or are taking super longe times to move.

I tend to wait just once if a person is taking a very long time between rolls. I have no idea assuming they have cheats because the long pauses are almost always followed by "the perfect roll" for the situation. Why else wait so long . . . especially if it wasn't happening before.

It is even more frustrating to lose to a player making the idiotic and poorly chosen moves that can be clearly determined because they are cheating rather than taking risks or are bad players. I know people play sporatically, I do it when solid techniques are too predictable and I need an edge. But when the moves don't make sense, a good player can tell that it is cheating rather than entering chaos into a pattern or just a poor player.

I love the game, it sucks playing against people who are clearly cheating. I used to hate thinking they were cheating because I thought maybe I was just a sore loser. I know know there are just losers who have learned to win.
