A go educator recently posted a video in which they ran into a very obvious AI cheater on OGS and got smoked. Unfortunate, but it happens.
Out of curiosity I had a look at the opponent’s account and noticed that almost all of their games have been annulled. Many of the annulments were originally wins by resignation but now have the message “This game has been annulled by a moderator”. It looked pretty clear that the player was using AI in those games as well, and I couldn’t see any other reason for the annulment.
So this made me wonder why the user has not been entirely banned from the site - I assumed that repeated moderator interventions based on AI use would be enough. Are the specifics of the policies spelled out anywhere?
(I’m not going to mention any details about the incident that led me to this question - I flagged the game in question for AI use just in case nobody else has. I’m more interested in the policy, not that specific player / game.)
