If you find someone abusing the waiting room, the best bet is to let Fencer know in a private PM who it is and what they are doing. I'm not sure, but it may be possible that Fencer could block the waiting room from people who abuse it.
(NOTE: Private PM, not posted here in public please.) :-)
Does a certain player keep deleting ga,mes you accept in the waiting games area? Or accept and them after a few moves resign saying they have to many going?, even though they have hundreds in teh waiting games section? I think i have found my first blocked users person.
plaintiger: please do not select Urdu, but instead the most traditioned lingua franca. This would not be Latin as presumed, but instead the much older language of SUMER. Probably that would also implicate the need to install some Cuneiform script fonts ...
Pythagoras: yes! and how about if we replace all the English words on the site with Urdu, but still call it English? that'll make everything even clearer!

I propose the following system:
Put 12 green creatures near the name of the tour, like this for tournaments that you have already signed up. 14 for tournaments that you haven't but you can and 17 little creatures for tournaments you haven't but you can't. Also for tournaments with prizes put 13 creatures.
So every single member of Brainking would do nothing else but counting little creatures.....

Fencer: actually, i haven't complained either: i've simply pointed out a fact. calling tournaments "signed" because they're available for joining doesn't make any sense. at least not in English. "signed" means something has already been signed - past tense...plus in English, "signing" is not the same as "signing up", so - again, in English - "signed" doesn't even come close to meaning "available to be signed up for."
since "available to be signed up for" is way too unwieldy, i agree with Pedro that "available" would be a better choice. "available for signup" would be the clearest, but that's probably a bit long for the purpose too.
wait, i've got it: "joinable." it's kind of a weird word, but its meaning is unmistakable.
Fencer: I'm not conplaining but rather confused, when I go to the tournement page, It says all tournements with no option for signed, when I go to my profile and click signed it says none, on ponds it shows available ponds, and on team tournaments(the only one that makes sense) is says none
plaintiger: I agree, "registered" or "submitted", or simply "available" would be better. I'm sure it's a language-barrier matter, as "signed" and "registered" is one word in Czech.
i see in Fencer's news that redsales and catherineqq are responsible for translating the site into Chinese, but i looked at catherineqq's profile and saw that She's a pawn. shouldn't a contribution like that make a person a golden rook for life?

Vikings: no, that's not it, Vikings - that would make sense, but that's not what it means, because when i go to the tournaments page the default list it shows me is of "signed" tournaments, but i haven't signed up for any of the ones it shows.
reza: I loved your interview. I know we had differences in a few religious things. You believe what you are taught. Just like I believe the way I was taught. I know you and I are trying to get to the same place someday.
I loved your country and met alot of nice people when we were stationed there ..You know my son was born there. I too wish that there could be peace in the world. Just wanted to say hi and comment on your interview. :)

harley: I didn't take out any spaces or change any of the way your replies were set out, that must have happened when it was actually put onto the site.
It is not your fault. Brainking.com post system doesn't allow more than one spaces to appear when spaces are inserted by the SPACEBAR. In order to create multiple spaces you have to use:
for each space you want to use.
For example the:
4 spaces!
produces:
4 spaces!
reza: I think you did a fine job with your interview.
Its a shame, some one has been allowed to provide distasteful color to your hard work,as it opens the door for future interviews to be subject to a public rilling.
I am sure, this was not the original intention of interviews with BrainKing members.
reza: I didn't take out any spaces or change any of the way your replies were set out, that must have happened when it was actually put onto the site. I've never noticed if its happened before on any of the interviews, sorry about that.
harley: I left Debate Club a few months ago. And, I'm in no mood for discussing things from here, since it takes me long to type and I'll be having to make right all wrong interpretations. About what Pythagoras said, well, I just send him his reply in a messgae. Others who are interested, can ask him for a copy!
And, I think the way I sent my answers to you, they were far better formatted. What's happend to all the spaces I had used?
