The cue ball moving in pool!

Hello! Can someone please tell all the billiards players that moving the cue ball is legal!!! Not only you have the option on right bottom ( on phone), but the rule is also on WBPSA site, you can check it, you can ask AI! 
I'm so disturbed that more than 50% of the players I've played are complaining in chat that I don't "fair play" and that "I make the game worse" because I move the cue ball when they scratch or fail!
I have some names, but I won't tell them because I always hated to NOT RESPECT THE RULES!
Also there are players that are winning frames by luck and then laugh at me and say that I'm amateur!
Please FlyOrDie fix this and tell the players that this rule does exit and everyone that plays pool for real actually use it and nobody complains!
Thank you!

I’m hereby telling all the billiards players. ;)

We’ve only been fighting this battle for about 25 years, so I’m sure everyone will get the message any day now.

But yes: moving the cue ball after a foul is part of the rules. If someone prefers a game where the opponent can’t do that, BlackBall Pool is probably the one they’re looking for.

The thing is almost nobody plays Blackpool or Straight Pool, Snooker Lite or SINUCA. Just 8 or 9 Ball or snooker or 6 reds!

The funny thing is, this phenomenon only occurs at low ratings. As soon as the level rises, this nonsense stops.

Because higher ratings means you know to play the game.

I want to offer a positive perspective, especially in light of the recent improvements to 8-ball pool.

The developer is absolutely right: the rule of the cue ball in hand after a foul is an integral part of the official rules, and FlyOrDie has always adhered to it. Thanks to the new applications and updates for 8-ball pool, the platform is getting even closer to the real game: more modern, more precise, and more enjoyable for everyone.

These updates have been designed to benefit all players:

clearer application of the rules,

smoother gameplay,

an improved interface and options,

and an overall more realistic pool experience.

It is therefore important that we, as a community, support these improvements and help beginners or less experienced players understand the rules, instead of criticizing those who apply them correctly.

Using the cue ball-in-hand rule is perfectly fair and fully aligns with the platform's direction: greater authenticity, more consistency, and improved gameplay.

If a player prefers a version where the cue ball doesn't move after fouls, Blackball Pool is indeed the ideal mode. It's fantastic that FlyOrDie offers different rule sets so everyone can choose the one that suits them best.

Let's continue to encourage players to learn the rules of their chosen game and commend the work done to modernize the platform for everyone's benefit.
