Dragon71: And that is when you use the "Blocked User" list to take care of THAT. There are solutions available to you. If you choose not to use them, then that is your own fault.
Also a good lesson NOT to give out your personal information to someone on a game site. Some people do it over and over and over again, and continue to whine when it bite's them in the rear end.
no not true cause if the bullies dont get you in the fellowships then they hound you all over in messages, in games an everywhere...i dont normally go to these stupid boards but when a click gets started with lies they sick all there dogs out even if your there or not...some ppl cares to much what jerks run them down so bad an give out addresses an phone numbers of a woman to strangers is know good at all...it could mean the difference tween life a death...so i take it you approve on ppl giving that information out ...your one of them in the click also an you friends i no most of them
Dragon71: No one is forced to belong to any Fellowship. The only people who see what is in these "flaming" fellowships are the people who CHOOSE to belong to them. It's VERY easy to not see their contents.
Frankly, if you had been at IYT for long, then you would know that their PUBLIC boards were as bad as any PRIVATE fellowship board here could be.
Fencer you have let this sight be over run with bullies an let these ppl talk about ppl who only wants to play games at your sight an have fun...but you got all these flame boards here that you have no control over an let ppl down grade anyone they want...some ppl cant handle lies against them an it really bothers them but you continue to let it go on...wasnt like this at all when i was first here..but it is terrible now...these flame pits an boards in F/S's is a real piece of work you got going here...this is why IYT is always gonna be a much better sight, except for the ppl behind the scenes an have friends higher up they run this place not you anymore....i hate this sight has been so turned upside down...my my
nodnarbo: Thanks, I didn't know that such a board was available.
Maybe I am not alone, but lots of things on this site seem hard to find for someone who is actively looking, let alone someone just casually exploring....
happyjuggler0: there is a Feature Requests board where requests can be submitted. Fencer reads all of the posts on that board and takes them into consideration when creating new features.
I suggest that you create a "suggestion box". I don't know if such a thing occurs in the Czech Republic, but here in the US it is common amongst many employers and some businesses interested in what their customers want. The idea is that people drop notes in a physical box anonymously for their employer/manager to read and perhaps that suggestion will lead to a change in policy.
Perhaps you might create such a "suggestion box" here at BK. If the project you are working on is wanted by 3 paying customers, while 300 paying customers are begging for a different feature, then perhaps your time is better spent providing for those 300 paying customers instead of following your intuition as to what improvements your site could use.
By the way, this post was inspired by a suggestion of mine which I am only now posting to you. When I create a "new game" to be posted to the "waiting games" page, I would very much prefer to simply type in the rating (both minimum and maximum) range that I want to face, rather than have to choose between 100 BKR increments.
Thanks in advance for your consideration, happyjuggler0
Just to be sure I checked your game Now people can see you're indeed in a much better position and the "BK-system" was debet on your lost game Tournament: pro všechny , Discussion Game ID: 4233565 Score of finished games (I Am The Best - Varazslo, Backgammon Race): 0 : 1 (= 0) (show games | Show all games) Time per move (?): 3 days, standard vacation
Public game (visible for other players)
Rated game (the result will be calculated for players' BKR) Layout: Castle (change) Board size: 1 (change) <span>I Am The Best timed out. <span>Varazslo is the winner.
Yes Jamie, you're totally right What a bloody mistake the creator of this tournament made, by 3 days a move and standard vacation. Or is this what you meant with your question: How is this new plan going to stop people who don't move in games where they are losing? Hmm you let me think now.... LOL
I Am The Best: That's impossible, and in my opinion not the problem When someone is losing a game and refuse to move is that his problem, not mine I guess you didn't lose that game because your opponent didn't move? Probably he was better So your nick doesn't tell the truth What is your next goal, 3 games in the next 4 years?
I like the new system using hours instead of days for vacation. Will the number of hours for vacation also be mentioned as days, so as to have an idea about the remaining time ?
Bernice: Yeah, it must be. I just noticed my Event box only goes back to Nov 11. I couldn't remember when the Event box started, so I checked Brainking.info, and it was Oct 21 or so. So, yes, automatic deletion must be happening. I would guess it only keeps things for a month.
Bernice: I believe Fencer contemplated having some sort of automatic deletion in that box, but I don't recall him saying he had programmed that. I see there is an "Archive" box there. I would recommend sending those you want to save to that Archive box. (If that's the one you meant they disappeared from, then I don't know what to say! lol)
I really like the fact that is will add 1 hour to ALL GAMES - and not just the ones that timed out.
Even though it hasn't been a problem for me for awhile since I got my game count down - when I had 1,000+ games and something would come up and I was unable to play for a few days - having the time only added to games that timed out mean all my games suddenly had less then 24 hours to play... meaning sometimes it would take me a couple extra vacation days to "catch up" to normal play.
I agree with you Fencer, less options makes an automated system less abusive. Keep it that way. Even for a turned based game-site , set rules for those who have never seen a real gameboard in their life or just people trying to abuse the system. Internet has given these options, But we / i also want to keep; a nice pace, stay interested in the games, not losing the flow, the feel and emotion of a game while waiting for an opponent.
happyjuggler0: You might decide it's not worth using up lots of vacation to save one or two games from timing out, when you might need the vacation later in the year to save many more games from timing out. This could happen if you're desperately trying to finish your games before going away, but due to a slow player or two, you don't quite make it.
happyjuggler0: Because of the reason Fencer is changing it. Some like to pick their own vacation days...then cancel them so they get the extended time to play but NEVER actually use a vacation day
Fencer: All vacation will be automatic, which also means that the calendar would be removed from Settings page (it should disable all attempts of cheating by periodical setting/unsetting of scheduled vacation days, as we could see in the past). Users of all membership levels will be allowed to activate/deactivate automatic vacation anytime.
*Users of all membership levels will be allowed to activate/deactivate automatic vacation anytime.* If we choose to deactivate automatic vacation would we then be able to schedule vacation days like before
ellieoop:" BrainKing has detected that the site was inaccessible from 1. December 2010, 02:26:49 to 1. December 2010, 03:27:35. In order to avoid timeouts in started games, the timeout checking process has been automatically suspended. It will be reenabled as of 2. December 2010, 03:27:35. Thank you for understanding." I think your friend should be ok
thisbeme: i couldn't get on and alexlee was trying to get on but had to go to work. she has some 1 day ponds and maybe other games that's she's worried about.. she would hate to lose those games.
Again you're welcome for the upgrade. And yes thats true in a way, i am nr 4 now in keryo :) I hope you challenge the other players as well to see where you are standing :) Good luck and have fun m8 ! :)
Ok, I messed up the first time that I tried to make him a public friend, but I got it right this time.
I think that what I did the first time was click the wrong button after clicking the lock, and as a result I actually removed him from my friends list. I had to put him back on the list again, which I thought was odd at the time....
Wow, another membership! Thanks once again, that is generous of you, especially considering that thanks to our games together I took your number 2 spot in the keryo pente ratings list, for now anyway....
