There is clear growing concern amongst the AH community in regard to the unethical game play of a few players.
What is AH doing about this?
I guess this will be locked too but as a COMMUNITY we would like to know if this problem is being dealt with? You say this has to be dealt with privately but are you going to email every single one of us with an update of how these people are being handled?

It is really very simple.
If you have a specific complaint, send the evidence to us and we deal with every one sent to us.
We deal with every allegation (with film) that is sent to us.
But the real answer is that almost all of the allegations have no bases in in reality. I can not count the number of times allegations are sent to us with film, and there is a very simple explanation of what happened.
And please do not expect us to state all the things we do to detect cheating. Because stating them only helps those who wish to cheat defeat our detection.
We have banned people who want to claim they were simply testing if something was possible. But people who falsely propagate the accusations of cheating and go on a witch hunt, are worse for the game then the small number of people who actually have cheated and been removed.
Also be very careful how you post on this topic. Because of the reasoning given above we have a very low tolerance for both cheating and false accusations of cheating.
