Sharing ICC noplay lists Should authors and operators of computer program members on ICC (and on other servers) share noplay lists? My current strategy against cheaters who hide computer play behind a human user ID is to monitor Symbolic's log and manually enter the suspected cheater's ID into its noplay list. But this takes time, both my time and the program's time. I have to check the games, the ratings, the history, etc., and I suspect I an duplicating work already done by other authors and operators. My proposal is to have a unified noplay list shared by all program authors. Its entries would include all opponent IDs that had one or more of the following: 1. A "!computer" in their formula. 2. Repeated disconnects at a rate three or more sigma above the mean. 3. Play 800 Elo points or more stronger against computer programs than against humans. 4. Exhibit obvious cheating; e.g., by playing perfect endgames in nontrivial positions.
