Subject: Holidays and auto pass

Modified by Undertaker. (2. April 2009, 16:52:09)

Someone has more 35 days of holidays...how is it possible?

This is ridiculous. He renovates his paid membership only for win more holidays and Fencer don't must allow it. Why not stipulate a number maximum of holidays, for example 50 days for year. This way, a player can buy 10, 20 or 100 paid inscriptions, but will have always a maximum of 50 days of holidays in that year.</p>

Other question, why not become compulsory auto pass or at least create a poll about this? I know many people agree with my opinion, so why not? Sometimes, i see some polls without interest for BrainKing and this question would be interesting, i think...

Thanks!

Fencer: Only? For me he would have 0 days. He already spent 35 days this year and now has more 35 days. Why not create a number maximum of holidays for year, independently of number of paid membership that a player could buy?

This way, my game with this person can finish in 2050. What can i do? Nothing...maybe wait until he become poor for cannot buy more paid inscripion.

Undertaker.: Specific people should not be brought up when it comes to this issue. The general issue is of course fine to discuss. Thank you.

Pedro Martínez: Because it would turn into bashing of one person, and it is not necessary when it comes to the issue at hand. Fencer knows the person that is being pointed out, and this person cannot join new tournaments anymore anyways.

I don't encourage anyone to do it, at the risk of being banned. Thank you!

rod03801: As Martinez said, why not? I don't see problem. I'm here to discuss
holidays and auto pass, so if i mentioned a name was because that was
an abusive situation and for everybody has a better perspective about my point...

Don't forget to delete Martinez lol.

Subject: Re: Holidays and auto pass

Fencer:With all due respect: 35 already used days plus 35 new days is 70 for the year and it's not fair to the rest of us. The person in question has been making timely moves in our current games but when he had vacation days he used those to both prolong games and prolong tourneys. He does this sort of thing to many members on BK and he has even held up tourneys in games he is clearly losing. I don't see why anyone can buy more vacation days. The ability to buy more days defeats the purpose of time controls. And the bottom line, it's not fair to the rest of us paying members.

Artful Dodger: Of course. Besides, that person and many slow players don't use auto pass. So, i can conclude they do that with bad intention, waiting win by time-out, because a simple game or tournament can take a long time.

Marfitalu: You should be entitled to 10/35/45 vacations days per year. Period. Not less, not more. Regardless of how many times you renew your membership.

However, this is just my opinion from a user's perspective. I do understand that a manager might have a different opinion, based on the fact that the current system brings more money in the "BK budget".

Pedro Martínez: money? surely not enough to make Fencer rich. There can't be many people around willing to pay money to a game site in order NOT to play.
