I think I see light at the end of the tunnel: there are multiple issues here: 1. A couple of folks help me with crafty and they do +noplay someone that appears to be cheating. We define this is (a) using a computer without having a (C), or playing a high percentage of the moves that Crafty whispers when a guest is logged on and observing, or (C) making zero tactical mistakes in a game, discovered by "annotating" that game offline. 2. I run my custom interface at times, this interface will +noplay you automatically if you play more than two games in a row, unless you have said something before the games so that I can put a special "exclusion" in for that handle. 3. this interface always has the option to "capture" the +noplay list and save it to disk, then remove any/all +noplay handles and then restore the list later. I had forgotten this. When I was testing the last couple of nights I had done this so when I looked the noplay list was empty, but was restored when I went back to the normal interface. I should have thought of that... And I'll fix it...
