Whilst it is not permitted to name computer cheats on these forums I feel that it might be appropriate to have a thread where players who you feel DO NOT cheat using computer assistance could be listed. List only one person per post. Thumbs up or down might be used to show agreement or disagreement with the post.
No, you cannot post your own name !
What a thoroughly depressing thread!! Who in their right mind, enjoying the intellectual rigour and challenges that chess offers, would want to cheat? I don't get it, and I am appalled that the practice is apparently so widespread that it is felt necessary to mention names of those who do not cheat as if they are somehow to be praised!

Those who cheat get to see their names atop the ratings page. Those who DO NOT cheat are the real chessplayers here.

"Who in their right mind, enjoying the intellectual rigour and challenges that chess offers, would want to cheat?"
Maybe you should delve a little deeper into your disappointment?
You expressed dismay at none-machine players being named. What is wrong with that? I know for sure when I first joined RHP in 2005 until circa 2010 games were moderated - concerning 'potential aid'.
That is somewhat a clear explanation of my point of view?
