Mega thread - ideas to combat cheating

Hi everyone, been a poker pro for couple years and long time lurker. I think most of us would agree that the online poker ecosystem has gotten grimier in many ways and if we, as players don't actively try to clean up our 'office', not many if any, will do anything about it.

2 MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD
1) drum up viable ideas to combat all forms of cheating
2) spread the word on social media or otherwise try to get these ideas to the relevant operators

I will start.

===================================================
To address CHEATING on IGNITION/BODOG/BOVODA network
===================================================

A) Consider removing regular tables and only run zoom/zone games;

B) alternatively, remove the extra timebank and reduce the amount of time/decision so cheaters have less time to coordinate. This should also help combat RTA to some degree.

WHY?
First and most importantly, its significantly more difficult for cheaters to coordinate, share hole cards, reads etc. when they have 15 seconds to act without extra time than regular tables with 30s + 30s timebank.

Two, it removes grimy predatory behaviour that players can get up to - so for example, if a new table starts with a rec and he sits to your left and there are multiple open seats available to the rec's right, you can basically close the table and spam re-join until you get a better seat, especially in pools where the player pool is smaller on higher stakes.

Three, recs on average lose less on zone/zoom games than on reg tables - MDA has demonstrated this. And since there is a interest for the operator to keep the rec alive as long as possible so that they can keep the games running and RAKED for as long as possible, there IS a significant incentive for the operator to implement this as well.

===================================================
To address SCRIPTING on IPOKER NETWORK / 888 NETWORK
===================================================

To those who play on these 2 separate networks, you'll probably observe that when someone "reserves" a seat on a table that is not filled, we can see that there are few players, likely with a seating script, who then "reserves" their seat within 0.5s upo. Are there outliers who is able to grind, monitor lobby and sit in sub-human reflexes? Sure but those are few.

I don't know how viable this idea is but I think if the operators' security create new accounts (such that the scripters have not labelled them) and joined the tables, which will trigger the players using seating scripts to join PROMPTLY with SUB-HUMAN REFLEXES consistently (perhaps the operators can use multiple different new accounts to join to create a pattern of behaviour

===========================================================

Good luck to those who are still out there grinding.

And MUCH THANKS in advance to those who contribute ideas, provide constructive feedback and those who would get this message to the 'right' people on social media, gambling operators. I have no social media presence so would appreciate it if everyone here can spread the word on socials.
