UGH!! Tell me about this!

The one thing that bugs me the most is how the players can move the cue ANYWHERE on a scratch!! HELLO?? When I play (FAIRLY) I only move the cue (IF at all) on the white line and NO FURTHER. I consider it cheating and I refuse to play very much (and I haven't been playing much) now because very few follow this rule. It is bad taste and it shows NO skill at all. Can we have a room in 8-ball where you can play according to the rule where you can't move the cue past the line on a scratch? As for a foul...well, when I play IRL, the only time the ball is passed to the other player is when you pot that player's ball...even if you pot your own too. I think that is sort of on the line with what corbec is saying too.

How about it OP? Can we PLEASE have some high-quality players who don't need to move the stupid cue on a scratch so they can pot the ball because they can't do it from the line?

PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE.

There...you've made me go and beg!

AND one final note: DO NOT bash this post. I have as much right to an opinion as anyone so if you don't have  a mature answer...DO NOT post. It just makes you look stupid. 
Thanks.

Moving the cue ball anywhere on the table after a foul is the correct rule. I'm pretty sure you're also able to pot another person's ball as long as you hit your own ball first.

Saying people who follow the rules are "cheating" and "have no skill at all" is inevitably going to result in your post being bashed, however much you plead with people not to.

Surely the only players showing lack of skill are the ones fouling in the first place?

The thing that you are disregarding is that pool rules can be 

different

 depending on where you live/the type of pool you play.

In US 8-ball rules I think that officially you are allowed to pot an opponents ball 

as long

 as you hit your own first (As Martin said above). After doing this the turn passes to the opponent and he/she has to play from wherever you left the white ball.

If you are playing the UK rules then a shot like this would be deemed a foul and you would be given two shots.

The same differences occur with the issue of where you have to play a shot after a foul. In US 8-ball you get the ball in hand (as you do on this site), in UK 8-ball you will play the ball behind the line/on the line/in the D.

Just because the rules on here are not the same as you are used to in real life does not mean that people are "cheating" or that someone does "not understand the rules" ;)

What you're both highlighting is the need for a UK 8-ball room. I would rather have one and would play in it over a US rules games but having a go at people who are complying fairly with the rules of the site (and who may not have even played UK rules before) is slightly unfair IMO.
