Nice post telling everyone what gets them banned on BBO.

I like all your points except Point 6, which needs more clarification.

Are you implying that it takes 2 years to catch a cheat?. I understand that you need to collect evidence over a period of time to nab the culprit, but 2 years is a bit too long.

I hope you said that as an example and not as a reflection of what is happening now.

I defended against 4 redoubled contracts in 6 boards, both based upon the fact that neither opponent knew that the redouble was for rescue.

E.g.

1C (1S) P P
X P P XX
end


and

1D (X) XX (1S)
X (XX) end

Hi,,,

Does it take two years to catch cheaters? Well the answer depends on how long it takes someone to turn them in so we know to look at them. Users can help by sending a few example hands of blantant cheating to abuse. Some cheaters are caught lthe very first day they login to BBO, some are still here and never have been detected. Some are being watched and evaluated right now to assess if they are cheating. The pont of the post is that if you are cheating, you will ge caught.

As for the redouble thing, this has to do with what auctions like

2C-P-3S-P-7NT-doubled and redoubled down 13, or opening 7NT and then redobuling on 3 hcp, or overallig an opponents 2NT opening bid with 7NT, etc... Any serious attempt to bids that include redoubles of course will never cause a problem with BBO staff. But since scores, even in the main room, are dependent upon what is happening at the other tables, we take a very dim view of "frivolous bidding" trying to hit the magic 24 imp barrier.
