Maybe there is a way we can help to regulate cheating ourselves...
1) On the card in the Players screen - add a "Report" button - if someone suspects they are cheating, they hit that button
2) In the Create Game section - highlight any games that have been "Reported"
3) Allow people to go in and spectate these games - and if they also feel that cheating is going on, can confirm it and have that player automatically flagged for inspection by SMG
I'm sure this could work quite well once the user base is large enough - besides, it's quite interesting to watch other people play... so adding a Global Spectate function for everyone would be great anyway!

Do you guys actually take any action?
Well, if SMG can't even look after a tiny forum like this... do you think they will bother doing anything about cheaters?!
I usually host games, however I do NOT allow any master or grandmaster player to join EVER. Apologies to anyone who has legitimately made those levels (I have on a few occasions made it to the Master level myself) but it has been my experience that nearly every single time I encounter a master or grandmaster...they are cheaters. I've also noticed a common pattern of a game with a grandmaster usually will either have another grandmaster or a master in them.
I RARELY, however, ever see a master (and NEVER a grandmaster) join any games I host. Hmmmm...I wonder why that could be? Because they set up their own games to cheat with. That's why.
