Myself and 2 other members on fulltilt have whittnessed a player cheating and manipulating the system. What are the proper steps to go about reporting him and where would I do it?

I would also like the community to realize that there are scam artests out there, and though I would love to post a few names on here, i know that it would be wrong... So please, if you see or are asked to give chips in exchange for real money through the Transfer feature on the site, don't do it and advise people not to do it.

You should email support about this (support@fulltilt.com). Could you elaborate please? I'm curious as to what you mean by cheating.

Whoops, sorry! Thanks for the correction, Mr. Brecher.

I have found 2 members who have multiple accounts... the best I can figure is they cheat and manipulate the system like this.

The first member (Rackin is what we will call him) has 2 accounts.
The second member (Frog1 is what we will call this one) also has 2 accounts.

Rackin logs onto one of his accounts and Frog1 logs into one of his accounts. They both find an empty table and play each other telling each other what they have. They use Frog1's first account and have him lose all his chips to Rackin, then they reload frogs chips and repeat their process. Then they switch roles, Rackin will log into his second account and frog will do the same. Then Rackin will lose all of his chips to frog with his second account.

Is that understood?

Also, Rackin will find members, like CrazyJake who has a lot of chips, and Rackin proceeds to tell CrazyJake that he will transfer $20 (real money) into CrazyJake's account in exchange for 250k in chips. So, Jake says sure no problem, they go to an empty table and when Rackin has the NUTS, Jake knows he will lose this hand so to give Rackin the playchips, he bets the amount needed to continue to give rackin more money; constantly doubling him up.

Now this second part here is sheer stupidity, that is why I wrote the warning in my first post.

Is this elaborate enough for you?

Say, that brings up a question... is selling play chips allowed at FTP?

Well as I have already stated, the second part is sheer stupidity, however, manipulating the system, does effect other players... For example:

Rackin gets 40k chips, from manipulating the system, then he goes to a high stakes table, decides to go all in on a crappy hand, and somebody who has been playing for a while who has rightfully earned his chips calls him with a dominant hand, gets drawn out on, and loses his rightfully earned chips to Rackin "Who didn't truely have a right to be at that table to begin with" because he manipulated the system. I know it's only play money but the ethical part of it still stands.

Now you see how it effects other players.

Yeah, it affects other players by giving them free chips. If he wants to go all in with junk, good for him. He'll lose those chips he didn't "rightfully have" real quick anyway.

Umm, wow. I thought you mean that this was real money, and people were getting screwed out of it. As far as I can see, nobody really loses. And how do you know that they have 2 accounts anyways?
