The problem can be solved to some degree by instituting random checks of saves by neutral parties (the mod, or someone else). That's what they do in CF, and it seems to have cut out some cheating. The other benefit is cheats tend to get caught early too (which is not always the case in some games).

Hmm lots happened lets see if we can find a new player for Germany. I belive its Japans turn lets continue to play till the German turn and see if we can get a new player.
To British: Due to lack of international support France has no choice but to remove its blockade of the British ships. That will be done this month. Yet we still encourage the British to come to Paris for a conference on spheres of influence.

 I felt a bit uncomfortable about it too, I think you're talking about when he did a removal for us on the "Another Imperialism 1870" thread:

I didn't really like the idea of new guys having that kind of power, you know? Like it's ok for Henrik, etc., but this worried me, as we all know that the newer one is here, the higher the odds that he/she will cheat (not to piss any newbies off, I'm just speaking from experience), and to see someone with some-odd forty posts suddenly removing passwords...
It was kinda depressing too to see a bunch of regulars welcoming him and everything on another
thread and this happens.

But there has to be someone. I mean, if somebody cheats, he should be punished. |
To add to the discussion, the only real attempt at punishment of cheaters occurred when Kobayashi started a thread where there would be a list of known cheaters so that even if they are not banned from the forum, they could be banned de facto by the blacklist. However, it was closed due to grating threadjacking (and then the bastards got the PBEM FAQ killed too), not to mention that the moderators and others later decided behind the scenes to continue the closing after debating the ethics of such a list (personally I think it was not unfair). You can still see the thread there though, titled BLACKLIST of PBEM Dropouts (it later came to include cheaters as well). As far as I know no such attempt at de facto bans has been made at Apolyton.

FRENCH SHIPS MOVE
Paris- The French Ships have moved from their blockade positions and are trying to return to port, however British ships block the way, the French Government asks the British to remove their blockade of French ports.
ASIAN CONQUESTS
Saigon- The Philippines were taken today in a climatic battle.
ANARCHY
Paris – Wide spread riots have broken out through out the French Empire, a state of anarchy has been declared. The Revolution started with the Emperor’s hostile moves toward the British Empire. The French people have declared the desire for good relations with all and an stepped down foreign policy in favor of domestic politics, but will the people’s revolution succeed and the third Republic Declared or will the streets of Paris run red with blood.

Also are we letting the Germans keep Milan and Belgrade? because it might be prudent when changing the passwords to give those back to the orginal owners also. But I know its not techumseh's fault, so if he keeps them thats alright with me.

i removed the passwords. To start this game, you have to start a multiplayer scenario and just load up france1870mar.scn
Choose your civ and then put a password.
