About multiple accounts and ELO boosting
Recently, we had again several serious cases of players using multiple accounts to boost their ELO ranking on Board Game Arena. Their ELO has been resetted to a much lower value (most often, 1500), and multiple accounts has been removed. Playing against oneself using multiple account is a giant waste of time, both for these players and for our moderators. In order to prevent other cases, I'd like to say the following : no one can cheat the system. We cannot of course detect a player who plays 1 or 2 times against himself, but if some player really wants to use this technique to boost his ELO ranking, it becomes very easy to detect. We care about having clean rankings here on BGA, and we will continue to care about it. Please enjoy the competition by not trying to cheat the system (and honestly, this is really NOT fun to spend hours playing against oneself for nothing). Thanks everyone for your help making this service clean, pleasant and fair play.
