This is nothing but silliness!  "SCAM" implies deceptive practices.  You
have not shown tht the ICC does any such thing.

The ICC is an upfront operation.   None of their practices are deceptive
or misleading.   They are slow to impose punishment and do so with
adequate warning.   Generally, the admins are tolerant and lenient.  It
takes some real effort to get banned.

ICC is an authorotarian organization not a democracy.  But then ICC is a
private business not a country.  

ICC tries hard to create an environment in which is fun and productive
for serious chess players.  IMO they do a great job.

Finally, posting a long post in large font bold type is the equivalent
of shrieking a long tirade in a room where people are trying to have a
conversation.  It is just plain bad manners and it makes one wonder
whether you knew how to behave yourself on the ICC?
