If you want to skip validation, just challenge people to the format ``Gen [num] Custom Game`. That has no validation whatsoever except for that which you place on it.

Since it's come up a couple of times, I may as well note this sums up accurately most of the issues with recruiting other users. With regards both to a reporting process in general and recruiting others to do it specifically, it should be noted that the access necessary to accurately verify a...

Chess.com can afford to act reactively to these problems and just remove people from ladders after the fact, whereas our system of usage stats as it stands right now cannot without in essence having to make things up after the fact. We'd have to throw out bot results entirely, which means...
