Well, ratholing is certainly not cheating. Some players may feel that it's unethical, but it really isn't. It's just part of a strategy that is profitable. It certainly isn't optimal, but it is undoubtedly +EV.

Ratholing isn't cheating, but it's generally against the rules. I try to rathole as much as I can, if it is to my advantage. But, often the software prevents it, barring using a technique as scotty suggests, which I had never considered.
With regards to scotty's first question of networks versus independents, it's night and day. The network CS is just terrible in my experience. I never considered the multiple account angle, but scotty makes sense. IMO, just stick with Party, UB, Paradise and you'll never have to worry about these issues. Their business is poker, not online casinoing, not sports betting, not bingo or whatever. If you want to play poker, stick with the sites that focus their energy on providing a quality poker product.
