Thank you for apologizing. Regarding chat, I was not there so I am not sure of what happened, but we trust our moderators to police the chat. Please make sure to follow their lead.

Generally speaking we avoid using the word "cheat" because there have been conlifcts in this regard in the past. For example, some people might think something is against the spirit of the game, even though it is not technically against any rules.

Instead of using the word "cheat" could you perhaps objectively describe what is occurring? For example, if I knew someone was using a calculator to multiply numbers when they were supposed to be doing them the long way, instead of saying "You are cheating" I could say "You are using a calculator and I think you are supposed to be practicing doing these exercises without a calculator."

I don't want to control what you think, and you are entitled to your opinion. If it is too hard to avoid saying those words that offend other people, it might be best to just avoid them.

If you have any concerns (or would like to discuss things further) you can feel free to let me or any of the other admins or bcrats know.

Take care.
